Deal-breakers and Nice-to-Haves

This post has been on the idea list for ages. Earlier on, it would have been much easier to write. I don't know why I put it off. As time goes by and I get busy with the business of dating, it's hard to remember all the things I originally put on my bullet list for the man I want.

So here goes...(in no particular order):

• self-confidence
• independence
• healthy lifestyle (or willingness to have one) - he doesn't have to exercise as much as I do but he has to let me do it.
• strong worth ethic
• desire to have a family/children (sooner rather than later)
• responsibility with money
• common sense
• sense of humor
• self-reliant
• masculine (I'm looking for a guy's guy - no metrosexuals)

Gosh - do I want too much? I think I could use Dr. Phil right about now.

Ok - let's try deal-breakers...

• No physical chemistry
• No pre-marital sex (we've talked about this already here).
• Irresponsibility with money (If I can keep mine and other people's money, he can at least take care of his).
• No self-confidence (I don't do well with guys who can't make their own decisions.)

I think that's it for now...but I'm going to keep thinking about it and I'm sure I'll have another post to revise my list.
