Relationships
and Dating
1.
List
five characteristics that you think are important in a significant
other.
1. DON'T BE A JERK: The most important
characteristic is kindness. I don't want to be with someone who isn't kind.
Kindness is the most important. It shows your heart more than anything else
will. You wouldn't believe how hard this is to find and how valuable this is. We
all have our off days, but we're not going to work if you're mistreating me and
other people regularly.
2.
COMPATIBILITY: The second most important characteristic is that we actually want
to be around each other. You can give me the blazing hot panties forever, but if
I get tired of being around you it's just not going to work romantically.
So
what makes me want to be around someone? The remaining three characteristics,
duh.
3.WE
NEED TO BOND OVER THINGS. Opposites attract makes no sense to me. If all the
things you like are boring, we'll have nothing to talk about.
4.
HAVE THE HOTS FOR ME. We're going to have to make out and do thing to each other
so be ridiculously, ridiculously good looking and think that I am ridiculously
good looking .
5.
BE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT. Don't have a bunch of really bad habits that make me
feel unsafe like habitually drinking too much and not taking care of yourself
properly and never have any money.
Obviously,
my husband fits all of these.
2. If
you had to choose between staying single for the next two years (as in, no
dating at all,) or receiving $10,000, which would you choose? I'm married and don't have that choice. But
if I was single I'd probably take the money. And then I'd regret it because of
course it would be at that moment I'd meet my soul mate or something and fall in
love with them. Then I'd have to pay back the money, but it would be worth it.
This is horrible question!
3.
What
is your relationship status? Are you satisfied with it? I'm married.
I love my husband. I chose the right guy.
4.
Would
you date someone who has children? No. Unless they are fur
children.
5.
Would
you date someone who’s shorter than you? Absolutely! I have, actually, dated a
couple guys shorter than me. People come in all shapes and sizes.
6.
Would
you date someone who has different political views? Yeah, but it depends on what they are. Some
things are absolutely a deal breaker as a former social work major. My political
views have changed a lot over the years and sometimes Greg and I have to sit
down and talk when we disagree.
7. If
you were going on vacation together, would you choose the beach or the
mountains? Why can't I have
both? Some places have both! The beach is closer so we tend to go to the beach
more.
8.
How
do you show someone that you’re interested in them? I try to see if they're interested too by
asking them! Usually they aren't though. But I respect that and move on! It
sucks, but that's life until we can all read minds!
9.
Do
you prefer to date people who are older than you or younger? I prefer someone at the same life stage as
me. I once dated someone who was close in age to me but we just weren't at the
same life stage. I was independent, he lived with his parents. I had a job and
was going to school at night and on my days off, he was trying to become pre-med
and was going to college full time. His group of friends was much younger than
my group of friends. While that was not the only reason we didn't work out, it
was a hassle!
10.
Share some details of your dream date. I just want things to be
special. It doesn't matter where we are, whether it's cheap or fancy. Do
something to make it nice. Point out all the nice things and enjoy them with
me. I went on a walk with my husband the other night as the sun was setting and
we saw geese and a teeny tiny little turtle. The lighting was just perfect. It
was special. That's all I require.
Okay,
if you want to do it too, go answer the questions on your blog and comment on
her blog! Now go make friends!
