If you build it, he will come


In light of recent events, I have decided to take a bit of a risk and put online, in public, for all the world to see, what I'm looking for in a man.  Call it my "field of dreams" list, if you will. In no particular order these are the things I hope to find in the man of my dreams someday-


  • Not a night owl *doesn't need to be an early riser like me, but I don't want to be with someone who regularly sleeps until noon
  • Wants kids someday (preferably at least 3) *I'm not in a rush, but I need to know it's not off the table
  • Artistic/creative *even if he just likes to build/fix things around the house... that's hot. 
  • Sensitive *I'm not looking for a cry baby, but I need someone that can express their feelings
  • Athletic/physically fit *I don't have a rock body, and don't expect my mate to either, but I do enjoy working out and would love to find someone that would enjoy staying in shape together
  • Funny 
  • Doesn't hate cats *I mean, Beefcake isn't going anywhere anytime soon... 
  • Not a heavy drinker/party-er
  • Non-smoker (weed or tobacco) 
  • Drug free 
  • Romantic
  • Good communicator 
  • Affectionate *I'm 100% for PDA and have learned from past relationships how incredibly important this is to me
  • Enjoys traveling
  • Has goals and ambitions *they don't need to be the same as mine, as long as he has them!
  • Likes my cooking
  • Has good manners
  • Has his own circle of friends *I don't want to be the only person he ever hangs out with, and vice versa
  • 5'9" or taller *sorry I'm not sorry for having this on my list
  • Likes to cuddle *along with the PDA, I've realized this is something I don't think I could live without!


Now listen, I'm sure if I had written this list 10 or even 5 years ago, I'd probably be on the floor laughing about what was on my list. So this is just a list of current wants. I expect that in the future my wants and needs will change as I change, and there's nothing wrong with that. If we didn't grow and change, what a sad world this would be! Now come on Mr. Right! I'm ready to meet you! ;)
