i think i might be asking too much but hey it would make me happy i reckon, he would be my 'superman'

[Gribble]

I want a woman who's quirky, possesses an appreciation for the absurd and is just innocent and naive enough to need a little of my jaded cynicism to balance her out.

Oh. And big tits.

[Mish]

Good looking (to me), non destructive and committed (to me)


I might be asking for too much

this is off topic, but didn't want to take away from aj's thread and i just had to tell yiz all. i did it! i just accepted my first date, wish me luck, it's on saturday.

this will officially be my first ever 'date'. (as i've said before i have never actually been on dates, me and the ex used to go out with friends not all that much and he never brought me out for meals) and first ever date accepted from online dating

anyway back to topic

[Mish]

Congrats eco, hope you have a great date

[kitty001]

My ideal guy would be..very intelligent. Talented in some way. Kind. Stable and able to handle himself well in tough times. Trustworthy and honest. Open mined. and moderately good looking, i suppose.

[misombra]

eco, i am 100% sure you are going to find someone with all of those qualities. keep adding cause you have to be very very careful what you wish for.

[Indignant]

respectful

You've never been on a real date?

I hope you have a very lovely time, and I hope the guy lives up to all you wish for. Where's he taking you?

[ecojeanne]

thanks vash, yeh it's true, never. we're meeting up in a well known traditional irish pub in the city centre, i figure he's keeping it low pressure rather than a meal. it's a really nice place. so far he has been ridiculously witty and has continued to make me laugh so i reckon it will be fun.

[DharmicLove]

I absolutely need a man who is masculine, stylish, loyal, genuinue, honest, intelligent, vivacious, energetic, jovial, assertive, confident, outspoken, but at the same time humble. He has to be dominant, dignified, witty, and he has to be able to express himself. Hell, it doesnt hurt to me sexy either.

[vashti]

That sounds like a fun date, eco. I've heard about those Irish pubs. How do you know him?

[misombra]

when i was about 22 i wrote a long list of characteristics of an ideal man. there was about 30 things on there.

and then 3 years later i met my bf and he had all those characteristics. too bad i didn't write, "knows how to clean house!"

[vashti]

Hahah! That would make a good thread. "Things I regrettably left off my prerequisite list".

And SINGLE, you guys. You're on the Naughty Watch List.

Did you guys ever see the movie Singles? It came out in the mid-90's, and in one scene, Bridget Fonda is talking about how she came to Seattle with a long list of qualities she wanted in a guy but that she's narrowed it down to "someone that says gesundheit when I sneeze, though I prefer bless you. It's nicer."
