We old souls can be complex and sometimes complicated people, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be loved.
What it does mean, is that we the way we want to be loved may be different than the norm:
-
We want you to listen…like actually listen to us because it shows you care. Listening to someone takes a lot of time and patience, so you’re a keeper if you not only open your ears, but your heart as well to us.
-
We want you to talk to us…because though we’re not very social, we enjoy engaging with you in conversation because it gives us the opportunity to talk out our thoughts and give you sound advice, vise versa.
-
We want you to enjoy life with us…because life is short and we want to enjoy it with you. Being comfortable with you is important for us but we also want you to be comfortable to let go with us too.
-
Especially in the small moments. We old souls tend to be sentimental in the sense that we’re nostalgic. Small moments from the way the sun shines through the windows in the evening to the way you smile when you tell a bad joke, can flood us from past memories. It’s a beautiful sense of peace that we’d love to sit in with you. Bonus points, if you share your nostalgia with us too.
-
We want you to allow us to take care of you…because making you tea when you’re sick or throwing you a blanket when it’s clear you’re freezing, are ways that we show how much we care about you.
-
And we’d like you to take care of us to…because “I love you” aren’t just words but actions as well and you taking care of us, shows us how much you care about our well-being.
-
Share books with us. Old souls are also book worms and there’s nothing says “I love you” for a book worm than sharing books with their lovers. What you read, tells us a lot about you. Sharing books is another way of being vulnerable to us.
-
Take us on a fun date…because the dates you take us on shows your creativity. We love looking at things from outside the box and taking us on a date that blows our minds in a weird way, makes you a keeper.
-
Be spontaneous with us. Since most of us are on the soft, quiet side, we gravitate to people who are more outgoing and extroverted because it balances us. It also encourages us to take chance which is why we’ll appreciate spontaneity, even in the small things like random make out sessions. It helps us to not overthink things for once.
10. Trust us…but not before letting us know why you wouldn’t want to. We understand that some people are guarded for good reasons and it would help us to know why you’ve kept your heart hidden because we want you to know you could trust us with your heart. We’ll be gentle.
