Back when I was dating for what seems like forever without finding a good match, someone told me to make a list of 100 "things" I was looking for in a partner. So I started my list and added to it over time. I only got up to #34 though, before I met my boyfriend. I don't know if "putting my wishes out there" did any good or not - but he does meet all the criteria. Maybe really thinking about what I was looking for helped me recognize it when I saw it.

I also think that making hard and fast rules - like knowing all the words to the Rocky Horror soundtrack (with dance moves) should be relaxed. Although come to think of it, he does do a mean Time Warp.

yebbut, think where you might be if you'd made it to 100.

Maybe you are only 34% happy.

THAT is a good point...(eyes boyfriend suspiciously from across the room)

Although, anything more than 34% might very well kill me.

I confess, I'm intrigued. What is on your list, or at least the first third of it? That sounds like a really good idea, actually. You can't reach a goal unless you know what it looks like, right?

34% happy, LOL.

I dont go for longterm anymore, just boys I can use and abuse until they get over my "get out of my space now, no you dont need to sleep over, we had sex - see ya-ness", or I bolt at the "do you think we can spend more time together?, want to meet my Mum?".

I still have one on facebook that hasnt given up even though I moved 1500kms away from him :)

I think xoxoB told me to give the pretty ones a miss for a while, but I cant help it, I nearly rearended someone in the car the other day when I was perving on a dude walking without his shirt on. I'm cougaring up nicely and I like that they have plenty in common with the kids.

The Dixie Chicks wrote this one for DucksNuts:



"Ready To Run"


When the train rolls by
I'm gonna be ready this time
When the boy gets that look in his eye
I'm gonna be ready this time
When my momma says I look good in white
I'm gonna be ready this time


Oh yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready...ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love


I feel the wind blow through my hair
I'm gonna be ready this time
I'll buy a ticket to anywhere
I'm gonna be ready this time
You see it feels like I'm starting to care
And I'm going to be ready this time

Oh yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready...ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love

I'm ready to run...I'm ready to run

Oh
Ready, ready, ready, ready...ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love
I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run...ready to run...
ready to run...yeah I'm ready to run. I'm ready
Whoa I'm ready to run...I'm ready...I'm ready to run...
I'm ready to run...I'm ready
Oh I'm ready to run..I'm ready.

2. Have they been hipscored
3. KC registered?

Make sure they would call ahead before playing paintball on somebody else's property.

footfootfoot 01-03-2012 10:01 AM

seriously.

prev three posts remind me of the bunny joke (modified):

How do you catch a bullet?

Hide in the bushes and make a sound like a coyote.

Assuming you're already "in love", there's really only two good tests.

Are you compatible enough that you will still enjoy having conversations with this person when you're older and the sexual heat has dissipated?

Take a vacation together. It's easy to put on your happy face when you're on a date. Much harder to do when you're together 24/7. If you are still enjoying each others company after a week, you'll probably do ok.

Gravdigr 01-03-2012 05:27 PM

I don't test people (intentionally:)).

I either trust 'em, or I don't. And if I don't, no testing required.

Ok, I'll bite. A little. After re-checking my list I have discovered that my boyfriend fails on one of these first twelve...I guess I can't have it all.

1. Tall
2. Strong
3. Great sense of humor
4. Humble
5. Liberal
6. Spiritual
7. Loves his kids
8. Gentle
9. Sexually adventurous
10. Good kisser
11. Good teeth
12. Doesn’t wear plaid

Care to guess the FAIL?
