Caring
Must like kids and accept my daughter
tall
can make me laugh/funny
likes to cuddle
romantic
sweet

I'm with you on just about everything you've listed..expect I'm into men. Ha.

1.) My faith is very pertinent. I am very involved in my church, so it would be nice to have someone who enjoys it as well.
2.) I was a preschool teacher six years and I am a substitute teacher now, majoring in elementary education. He better like kids. Haha. I do want twins if that is at all possible.
3.) He cannot smoke/drink/ or partake in drugs.
4.) I'm a seafood fanatic, especially oysters. It's no fun eating them alone.
5.) He has to have a serious side AND a silly side. It's okay to let loose sometimes.
6.) I like to be spontaneous. There are times where I want to just take off and go to a different town if money and time allow for it.
7.) I'm not a money blower..all the time. I like to spend money, but I know how important it is to live, so I don't think having to do something that costs money is important.
8.) Both sides of the family are important..mine and his. My brother never does anything with my side of the family and it kills my parents.
9.) Being romantic is a great too.

I could add more, but I'll stop here. lol

Be employed

Must get along with my kids

that list has to be why I did so wrong in my last relationship my guy didnt have a single thing on that list infact was a red flag warning in neon to run run run lol.

1. he was laid off (for 3 yrs)
2. he did infact live with his momma and was 36 (had never moved out and still was in his childhood twin -furniture and all omg)
3. he smoked pot , did coke, and drank like a fish (didnt know this till after we dated )
4. wasnt remotely romantic, thought giving me a grocery store plant over flowers were more logical since they lasted longer than flowers (omg dont ever buy me a plant )
5. he thought heavy metal was posioning and that was why he had ringing in his ears (duh couldnt be the years of slacking off doing drugs at his momma house lol)
6. he never wanted to meet my daughter and when he had to he was completely freaked out and awkward around her asking if she couldnt go to her dads or something. ''sighs "

ok now for my list

1. must know how to frikkin chill out about life, it ends, how can you take something that ends too seriously?
2. must be open minded and want to try new things in life
3. isnt looking for a mommy even if he loves his own dearly
4. has to like being goofy, silly , romantic, holding hands and public displays of affection on a regular basis.
5. money can not be his motivating factor for living even if he is successful at his career
6. must be an avid music lover, and preferrably have read a book within the last 6 months lol.
7. to know that he is willing to do the things I like even if he isnt crazy about them, would in turn make it high on my list of to do things to do the things he likes even if I am not crazy about it either but just enjoying eachothers company would be enough to make near anything enjoyable.
8. has friends and a life outside of the relationship , I like my alone time with a guy but not into our relationship being a private island for two for all eternity lol.
9. looks are not so important, I do not have a preferrence, tall, short, fit, stout, long hair, bald, brown eyes, blue , non of that would matter in the long run, we all get wrinkles and go grey so ... honor, integrity, character, respect for yourself and others, that has to be a part of my man, its all about what he has going on inside is what I need to see shine ...
10. always hold me close and kiss me any chance he gets.

Someone who won't pepper spray me and run.

On the other hand, my girlfriend had to lower her standards substantially.
