There is another quality I want to add to my list;
He must be gallant when it comes to killing insects that invade the home.
I just had to kill and dispose of a big ol water bug.
Meanwhile my roomate's useless (yet lovable) tom cat sat there and watched.
Oh my gosh you guys!!!!!!!! It is still alive!!!!!! I thought I had sucked it alive into the vacuum but the cat just meowed it to my attention.
The stupid cat was right by it and just let it go by it into hiding. Now the cat has gone to hide, leaving me all alone.
I can wait for a boyfriend but I really want an exterminator about now.
Ewww!![]()

The very first hurdle is
HE HAS TO BE SINGLE!
Furthermore:
1. Money - My past has been full of men who make less than me (not that I make a lot) and it ends up an issue. If he has enough money that it isn't on his mind constantly, he can focus on other things... like me.
2. Passion - and I'm not just talking about sex
3. Must Love Cats. Period.
4. Common Sense/Responsible - often overlooked, but important
5. Physical Appearance - that doesn't mean you have to look like George Clooney, but we should be appealing to each other
6. Sense of Humor - including the ability to get my sense of humor
7. Education - doesn't need to be booksmart, but someone who has a good head on their shoulders and has the means to take care of himself, and me
8. Spurs/Sports fan - if you don't want to buy season tickets and go to games, and also watch road games at home, you won't be seeing much of me
9. Sober - if I'm having to dodge your fists and/or carry your ass to the car all the time, forget it
10. Family Background - if he's got a load of family baggage that is going to make holidays a living , I've been-there-done-that and prefer my holidays nice and quiet
11. Religion - I'm not a religious person, so I would prefer someone who has their faith, but would rather spend Sundays sleeping in with me
So I've probably listed myself right out of ever finding someone, but it worked for Sandra Bullock in Practical Magik, so I guess anything is possible.![]()
Thank You. Your the only one here that said religion isn't a must. That's really the main characteristic i'm looking for, and the main reason I started this thread. A lot of people here in TN are hardcore Christians (mainly Southern Baptist), and I'm not a religious person. So my worry is that a girl wouldn't date just because of that. So do yall think its a big deal for most Christians?
I would say that most Christians you meet are going to want to date another Christian. But I think that is probably true of anyone with strong religious beliefs.
Couldn't have said it better.
I personally don't think it should be that way, especially for those that aren't strongly dedicated. They should look and consider the whole person and not there religion.
I have no problem being friends with non Christians. Several of my very favorite people don't go to church and yet are still wonderful people to me.
However when it comes to a relationship.
As someone who is dedicated to my beliefs and wants to raise children whom have faith in God,I want/need my husband to be likeminded.
Sorry but I have to make my list...
Temperament - very important
Intelligence - I love smart women
Tenderness - I like a woman with a soft heart
Sense of Humor - Laughing is important
You don't understand the essence of that belief system then.... Christianity is a lifestyle... not a religious le. As such, being a 'Christian' will inherently be a major part of the 'whole person'... and not something one could lightly overlook.
The Bible refers to unions of people with disimilar belief systems as 'uneven yolk'. In said unions, too many issues would arise that would hinder the full functionality and purpose of the marriage... though I have seen some couples work it out (WITH MUCH SACRIFICE and PATIENCE, notwithstanding)....
GOD is the full and quintessential manifestation of LOVE. When a couple continually asks for divine wisdom, mundane problems can be overcome with much greater ease. With GOD as the guide, a couple can truly find their 'perfect complement' despite the fact that both will have faults and imperfections of their own (all people do of course, since no one is perfect)...
The point being that most of the time, unions of Christians with non-Christians won't work out.... Why the emphasis on this point though, are you interersted in dating a 'Christian' lady?

She gives me cavities.
Girls love white mexicans
That is the nicest thing you have ever said about me.
Thank you.![]()
I don't think it was there. I just listed what was important to me rather than sticking to the original options.
I understand completely what you are saying-- and I am a person of faith. But we all know- not all Christians practice their faith in the same way and there is great variance among Christian denominations.
I have encountered many people who make a big deal about the label of "Christian"- one day on one occasion they got "saved"- but it isn't really part of their life. They don't go to church, at all, but they still present it as their main criteria. The other person also must have on one occasion gone up to the front and gotten saved, as well. I know a woman who was already very spiritual and of deep faith her whole life, but she went through that "ritual" so she could marry the man she wanted. It is not the religious background from which I come, but I know many people who subscribe to that belief.
As for dating, I personally don't see a reason automatically to exclude someone because religious faith is not part of their life. Maybe it is something to which he wasn't really exposed or to which he has not given much thought-- especially for someone as young as you are. I would expect, though, for him to be respectful of my spirituality and to be open to discovering it within himself. For an actual relationship to develop, there would have to be a spiritual component for me. I do know, though, girls who have been taught that even one date could lead to a serious relationship so you better not even go out on one date with a non-believer. I think that is the part you do not understand-- can't she just have dinner with you?? But I am guessing that she was taught that no, she can't.
Too high maintanance
