So everyone's been posting what they look for and it's been great! It's wonderful to see this side of GA.
I could write an essay on what I want, but then I could write an essay on what I want to bring to the relationship, and what I could offer <I thought of making a resume, but that would be lame ahahah>
For me I want to make sure we have the same goals (kids, career etc), values, and same spiritual/religious beliefs.
Qualities I look for:
Honest - Able to communicate well, not afraid to open up about work, we can talk about everything and anything.
Loyal - I am looking for one guy for the rest of my life. I'm really old fashioned in that sense.
Integrity.
Ambitious - I want someone who tries 100% to do their best in everything. Someone who's motivated but our love for each other motivates us too.
I'd like someone in a field that uses their brain. I am not looking to date a plumber or a construction worker (though these professions are wonderful and contribute much to society).
I want someone who can discuss everything from Monet vs Van Gogh Stravisky vs. Saint-Sans, Confucism vs. Buddhism, Browing vs Baudelaire. I love medicine and health, I definitely would like them to be able to watch surgery tapes with me and not shudder.
Good hygiene, and sense of style. I look at the way some guys dress and I cringe inside.
Someone who likes coming home to a home cooked meal, but doesn't mind dressing up and going out for a romantic night on the town. Or just heading to the mall to eat sushi at the food court.
I definitely want a husband who's very active. I want to do thinks like canoe, kayak, hike, ski. Run together, work out together. I want someone who likes to eat healthy, and takes care of every aspect of their health: social, emotional, spiritual, physical etc.
I'd like someone who likes to travel, so we could travel the world.
I love romance, I write poems for him, I am a mushy guy. I'd like to be romanced too.
I've royaly messed up so bad in one relationship, not knowing what I wanted. It's never going to happen again.
I want to talk about equality. There's stuff I can't do (not mechanically inclined), but I can pretty much do all housework, cook, clean, change diapers etc. I want us to be able to share the loads needed. Our blindspots is the other's strengths,
Maybe I'm just too picky and I won't ever get married.
