Your list makes me think it's time to do that again.<BR/><BR/>My best friend said she would never date or marry someone unless he was a returned missionary. I tried to tell her that some returned missionaries were creeps and some men who didn't go on missions were wonderful, but she wouldn't listen. She wanted a rich returned missionary and that's what she got. I think he's also a very nice guy. Unfortunately, they moved to Canada and I really never got to know him.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-79303770114013574042008-06-18T19:54:00.000-06:002008-06-18T19:54:00.000-06:00Tearese, I've heard that before about the list cha...Tearese, I've heard that before about the list changing. It could be true, and if it is, I'm ok with that. Really, I just want a man who fits. I guess a list like this is just trying to help me figure out what may fit. I agree with you...I want a MAN, not a boy in a grownup body. I don't mind the occassional video game or toys, but I do think a lot of guys go overboard, and it is a big turnoff.<BR/><BR/>Cardine, great minds think alike, I guess! I'd be really interested to see what qualities make your list. No, you aren't the friend. I've never heard anything like that from you. You know her, though, she used to visit teach you.<BR/><BR/>Melissa, I think you and Tearese have a great point. Someone once said that every pot has a cover. I tend to believe that every pot may have several possible covers, but I digress. What really bothers one person may not bother another. It's good to be able to look at your "cover" and be happy with what you've chosen. I'm glad you have such a great guy - you deserve it!<BR/><BR/>Missy, thanks. I hope I find what you and Ben have. You really are best friends and I want that with the guy I end up with.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, I'd be interested to see what makes your list, too! And you're right, a list like this doesn't really cover all the bases, nor is it exclusionary. It's a "rough draft" so to speak. Just something to ponder. I guess I'll use it to evaluate the next guy in my life (knock on wood that there IS a next guy!). And, the next guy will help me evaluate my list! Funny how that works, eh? :)juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361843863209384103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-85191356027324450562008-06-18T17:08:00.000-06:002008-06-18T17:08:00.000-06:00Hmmm... maybe I ought to make a list.

I have hesitated for fear of excluding possibilities... but I don't think it's that kind of list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-35843548468659773512008-06-18T14:26:00.000-06:002008-06-18T14:26:00.000-06:00I, too, thought your list was very good. It's fun...I, too, thought your list was very good. It's funny how some of the basic things we want in a relationship are often overlooked.<BR/><BR/>I have to say the one thing on my list, (and boy, did I get luck to find someone who had it) that is most important is that my spouse/boyfriend/whatever is my best friend. Like your grandpa said, their company is the best company. Whether it's passion or laughter or comfort or arguments, their company outshines anyone else's. That is how Ben and I get through all the bumps in the road. Good luck to you in all you do. You are amazing and deserve the best, maybe that's why it's so hard for you to find.Mellissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798024954503368060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-38365657509136833682008-06-18T14:11:00.000-06:002008-06-18T14:11:00.000-06:00I think that is a great list, they all seem like v...I think that is a great list, they all seem like very resonable qualities to look for in a man. I tool have to agree with Tearse and restate that when things that my husband does annoy me, all I have to do is look around and see how lucky I am to have the great man that I do. It could be way worse. <BR/><BR/>I think that is it important that you have seen your "list" evolve and change over time. Life makes us see things differently as we go along and it is important to realize that. <BR/><BR/>Best of Luck in your crazy whirlwind of a month. Keep in touch.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295543406465609676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-66411664092092270942008-06-18T00:19:00.000-06:002008-06-18T00:19:00.000-06:00We are great minds.

I was totally in the mood to make a similar entry as this earlier today, and I even thought to myself that it seemed like something that Julie would write.<BR/><BR/>I agree with many of these items.<BR/><BR/>I'm not the person who would only date someone with the same degree or higher, am I? I don't remember thinking or saying that, but I suppose it's possible. If it were me, then it's not anymore.<BR/><BR/>One of my former roommates used to sing that song all the time. It's a great screamer of a song.Cardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260768171568324499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14705332.post-20767426860444957702008-06-17T23:21:00.000-06:002008-06-17T23:21:00.000-06:00I think this is a good list.

Even though they say your list might change when you meet the right guy (I think mine maybe did) its good to have a starting point.<BR/>(I don't know if this is relevant) but whenever I start to get annoyed at some quality my husband has, all I have to do is look around at the husbands some of my friends and neighbors have and I realize how much happier I am with mine than I would be with someone like their partner.<BR/>I don't want to offend anyone..but something I would put on a list if I was doing it now would be that they have to be a 'grown up'. By this I mean they are not obsessed with video games 24/7, they don't have a room full of collectors edition Starwars figurines, they have a sense of familial responsibility. Yes, I know married guys with all of those issues, and their relationships really suffer because of it!<BR/>Just my two cents.tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.com
