My Top 30

A few months ago I wrote down exactly what I wanted in a partner. I've heard of other women doing this, and they claim once they did this, they met their current spouses. I guess there is something about writing it down that makes you realize what YOU want. This is what I wrote.:

1. Post-high school education is not required, but would be nice. Some education, even for a trade or skill, would be a plus.
2. Someone who has the ability to speak intelligently and carry a conversation.
3. He has to get along with his family. It would be even better if he enjoyed spending time with them or doesn’t dread visiting them. He will like my family as well.
   
4. If he has baggage, he better be working on fixing it.
5. No drama or public outbursts. I don’t need drama queens.
6. He likes to have fun and has an open mind.
7. He may or may not drink, but doesn’t have alcoholic tendencies. He shouldn’t need alcohol 24/7 to have fun.
8. He’s kind, sincere and generous.
9. He is not selfish.
10. He enjoys being with me and spending time with me.
11. He will enjoy spending time with me whether it’s just he and I or he and I and 50 others.
12. He is passionate and finds me devastatingly attractive. And he shows it. We will have great chemistry, and I will find him attractive.
    
13. He has to have hobbies, other than sitting on the couch.
14. He will be active and enjoy doing things.
15. He’s open to trying new things.
16. He’ll be in decent shape. He doesn’t need to be a body-builder, but he won’t weigh 400 pounds, unless he is 10 feet tall.
17. He won’t smoke, chew tobacco or use recreational drugs.
18. He lets me be myself and appreciates me for who I am.
19. He won’t try to change me.
20. He is independent yet still wants to spend time with me.
21. He is willing to work at a relationship and not give up when times get tough.
22. He is not afraid of commitment and is open to marriage and possibly children.
23. He believes in some kind of religion and feels it’s important in life.
24. He is honest and faithful.
25. He will have a decent-paying, steady job that he enjoys.
26. He will have friends.
27. He will like dogs, and will not suggest how I take care of my own.
28. He will not whine when he doesn’t get his way.
29. He will not be a work-aholic or married to his job.
30. He will court me, and enjoy doing so,… ALWAYS.
