I'm making this list. This is the beginning of it. I've decided that it would be a fun little experiment to join a dating site. Instead of filling out the "About Me" section, I'm going to make it "About You". About all the things YOU, potential dater, should be. And if YOU happen to be all these things (and more, of course!), I may consider going to meet you for coffee. Oh, there's another thing...Must respect and enjoy coffee. Both inside and outside of the home. Because I am fiercly addicted to Starbucks.
I think this could be a fun time. I will first ask the potential (as that is what I have decided to term these un-named, faceless men) to read this list. If they find a few things on here that are them, they can move on. If they find themself in every line, then, yes, definitely contact me. I am tired of wasting my time with people who I want to change, who want me to change them, who are in no way compatible with me, who believe that flossing is not important (notice where it is on the list? It is important!).I haven't decided which dating site to attack yet, but that's my next step. For now, I'm trying to add to this list, I want it to be as complete as possible, I am not wasting anymore time.
On a sidebar, I am not negative or bitter. I am just completely at a loss as to why there are so many great guys out there that are great for other people. I am intensely picky. And I spend a lot of time in relationships trying to fix things I knew about going into the relationship, and that should not be the case. I want flaws to be cute and small. Not big and glaring.
Whether this works or not, we shall see. But I'm going to give it a go. I think the best part of all this is knowing that I'll know if they are lying right away and can get up and leave. And if they aren't lying, I'll meet some cool people who I have a lot in common with.
