I've Set Standards
I should have done this years ago. I'm really not that hard to please. I'm looking for a man (or maybe girl) who: -Is an appropriate age. Between 20-27, no more than 5 years older or 2 years younger than me. -Has a job and a stable home. Obviously. Must live in the Chicagoland area. -Will be respectful toward and not jealous of my friends. Won't expect me to cling to their side in a social situation. -Has no addictions. Not even weed. -Might be dating others when we first meet, but is not committed to anyone else. No other girlfriends. Preferably, no kids. -Has friends of their own. Interesting friends who I wouldn't mind hanging out with. -Has hobbies and passions of their own, outside of work. If we share a few of these passions, all the better. -Is on good terms with their family, but is not a coddled mama's boy. -Is healthy and active. Not a couch potato, but not a gym-going meathead. Someone who takes care of themselves and likes to go out and do things. -Enjoys sex, is sexually functional, but would never act like I owed it to them. -Does not hate women. This is important. -Is of comparable attractiveness to me. Not an ogre, but not too pretty. Has style. Does not look preppy. -Is of a compatible astrological sign. Pisces, Virgo and Capricorn get along best with me. (Of course, this is not an absolute.) -Has strong conversation skills, in public and one-on-one. A sharp, but silly sense of humor. An outlook on life that is neither overly sunny nor overly cynical. -Will act appropriately for our level of commitment. If we met last Thursday, you should not be calling me every day. If we've been boyfriend-and-girlfriend for 2 months, you better be calling me every day! -Has good taste in food. Would not have to quit eating burgers, but wouldn't balk if I wanted falafel. Has good taste in music. Doesn't have to be a snob about it, but not overly mainstream. Has good taste in books. Must actually read them and like to discuss them. -Must support my creative endeavors, must be willing to hear my stories. That's about it. Not too difficult. =)
