Thanks to Jack, over at Sixteen Shades of Grey, I've found myself thinking about what I would want in a partner, if I ever decided to date again. Interestingly, my list looks very similar to Jack's... with a few exceptions and in a slightly different order:
-Loves me
-Affectionate
-Spiritual (NOT religious or narrow-minded)
-Intelligent/well read/well educated
-Good conversationalist
-Good sense of humour
-Well groomed (I'm not hung up on looks so much as just taking care with your appearance)
-Secure and confident
-Loves music and theatre
-Good listener
-Loyal
-Honest
-Romantic
-Nice smile
-Likes to go to new restaurants, movies, shows, museums
-Gets along well with my friends and family
-Considerate
-Generous
-Creative
-Understanding
-Open
-Good kisser (well, maybe that belongs higher up on the list! LOL)
So, what do you think? Does this man exist?

you know, Lassie would meet all these requirements. maybe you just need to get a dog! ;-)
sorry,couldn't pass that up.
When I got divorced 10 years ago, I never would have guessed that I could find someone with those attributes -- but I did. I made a list of 50 attributes, which included pretty much everything on your list, plus some extras like "must kill spiders for me" and "must shoot a mean game of pool."
I do believe we attract what we want and need out of life. By the time I had that list completed, then revisited it and tweaked it a few times, I met my DH now -- who fit all those attributes to a "T".
You will find yours too. I know it.
Hugs,
Jules
Jack... hmmm 8 guys, huh? 4 of them are probably under 18 and the other 4 are probably gay! LOL
Normie, no, I haven't read that. My list of things to read just keeps getting longer and longer. I'm going to have to take a VACATION in order to catch up! LOL
Ron, last time I checked, most public venues don't admit dogs - unless it's a seeing-eye dog! Plus, I already HAVE one - his name's Caleb and he's currently curled up at my feet -- exactly where I would expect a MAN to be! LOL
Jules, I've always been a hopeless romantic. That's what's gotten me into trouble. Who knows, Mr. Right could come waltzing into my world at any moment -- or he could RUN into my life at any moment. Stay tuned!
