I read a blog a few minutes ago about a woman wondering where to meet good men. I wrote a short response and suggested that she make a list of characteristics that she would like. That got me to thinking about what is important to me and what characteristics I would want in someone that I date.
That person would need to understand that family is important to me. I do have children from previous marriages and have an 8 year old girl that lives with me. She is the most important person in my life.
Honest, loyalty, respect, trust, understanding, integrity and willingness are all important to me. I am not looking for a saint. I have made my share of mistakes.
I am no longer willing to settle for someone who does not meet my standards and if that means I am alone then so be it. I dont need to be with someone but I would like to share my life with someone.
Thats enough out of me. What do you look for in someone that you want to date?

Report AbuseJeff, you are correct life is too short to surrounded by people who have no consideration for you or what you are about further more, every person on earth should make a list of what they expect from another and don't settle for half of it. I want the truth even if it hurts. I wants secure men not a child in a mans body i have had enough of that. I am happy with me i hope next person is happy with in themselves. I love my kids and they are in top position in my life I don't need anyone to make me feel complete as i am already complete. I also don't want to talk to you when the game is on so hush, i really am watching the game.

Report AbuseJeff,
I have to tell you ... you are one of the BEST bloggers on this site.
Ok, topic ... what do I look for in a date .... well, I don't date on account I am married.
My husband (my regular date) needs to be kind, supportive, respectful, a loving man towards his mother and children, sexy (i like his butt in the jeans), attentive and did I mention respectful ... respectful is huge deal!
Yet another wonderful heartfelt blog from you Jeff!
Very proud of you! And what you said about your daughter melted my heart and I wish you happiness and joy!

Report AbuseJeff - okay, so you had me convinced that you were a terrific guy...until... the Cowboys? Really?
I think that the problem with finding the perfect someone is those that are out on the prowl are looking for the perfect shell to contain the perfect personality. Chances are Mr Right with the quick wit and sweet devotion to his kids is going to have a slight gut or receding hair line.
I know that it's difficult to pick out the guy/girl with the great sense of humor from across the bar, but keeping an open mind is oh so important!
NOTE: I'm not saying that physical attraction isn't important, it's key! But attraction has to be more than skin deep to be lasting!

Report AbuseI look for one who dreams and wonders. The one who dreams will dream of me. The one who wonders will find the secrets of my soul little by little and revel in them as if in a continuing feast.
To dream and wonder is the embodiment of true innocence. And the best lover of all is an innocent one.

Report AbuseThanks Jeff, for the insight and the point to this blog on your page. Im looking for honesty, integrity, patience and monogamy. Is that so hard? No he doesnt have to be drop dead gorgeous. I want to meet the man inside before I make up my mind. Ofcourse some references would be handy. Like from old girlfriends or something!
