I'm not questioning whether or not you believe in the concept of the "perfect" man; frankly, I'm not so sure that I do, either. Over time, lots and lots of time, though, I've come to realize that there are several traits in a man (or any person, really) that are highly desirable, and ones that I value. I'd like to share my 'list' with you; perhaps there are some characteristics that you'd like to add, or some that you might question for yourself.

1. He really enjoys my company, and looks forward to being with me. When we plan activities and fun things to do, it's always a 'given' that we'll be doing it together. While we have separate, distinct interests, sharing time with each other is a priority for us both.

2. No one is better at PDA's (public displays of affection) than my man. Actually, it's more of a physical display of affection. I'm not talking about groping in the front seat of the car while in the WalMart parking lot; it's holding my hand, opening a door for me, giving me a hug, whether we're alone or in public. You have no qualms about being publicly identified as being the man who's with me - and I respect that more than you'll ever know.

3. You always make me laugh. Sometimes, it's a conscious thing: you want me to chipper up, or just make me feel better after a long or bad day. It's your genuine spirit of finding the everday silliness in life that's both admirable and contagious. Your sense of humor is what drew me to you in the first place; it was your sense of humor that got us through times that were tough. You never lost that remarkable touch.

4. You're neat, but, thank God, not a 'neat freak'. You appreciate my cleaning the house and keeping things in order, but you don't over-obsess with the 'small stuff'. We're on the same page with this as many other things: Neat is good! Neat can be fun! But fretting about keeping every little thing in its every little place isn't a part of your nature. You appreciate orderliness; so do I.

Takeaways
  • You like to cook! How lucky can a woman get to have a man who's also good in the kitchen?
  • Cultivating and maintaining a relationship is important to you and to me.
  • Your best quality? You never fail to make me laugh.
Did You Know?
Everyone has their own 'wish list' for the perfect mate; I think that they change as we grow older and wiser. Trust me, I have the old engagement and wedding rings to show for my own changing views!

Very nice. The first requirement though should be friendship, if you aren't friends when your old an gray the whole thing might fall apart.

These are all very good things to look for in a perfect mate. :) I believe in marrying a friend instead of seeking someone though. :)
