What Are You Looking For In a Partner?

[Guest ~zoe-girl~]

As I embark upon the dating world once again( at my age of 40 this is so differnt than it use to be) I have come to realize more about ' what I'm looking for' in a mate than ever before.

Anyone have thoughts to share about what you are looking for?

I'm looking for a person with morals, good character, wit, humor, a person that knows how to enoy life, someone that likes animals, kiddos and the elderly- this tells a lot to me about a person's character.

Also , this person would need to not be afraid of commitment both to myself and also to my daughter, these are just a few of the qualitites that are a must have for me.

Good question. I'm not in the dating world (very happily married) but when I look back on my mistakes before marriage I can think of how I should have gone about things differently....and how God's mercy and love used my sin to His glory. I was raised as a Christian and I don't remember a time when Christ wasn't real to me. I knew that a Christian should not marry a nonbeliever, but by the time I was in my 30's and wanted to be married I began making stupid mistakes. I wanted a man who was a Christian, loved me, was strong, gentle and caring. I settled for a man who loved me. He was a drinker with a bad temper. He loved me and cared about people who were important to me. He loved his children. Well, our marriage was OK, but a few years after we were married he quit drinking. He just quit. No fanfare, no bolt out of the blue, he just quit. A couple of years later he met Jesus. From that point on he grew into the man I had always wanted to marry. Our good marriage turned into a fantastic marriage. He is now the spiritual leader of our home and Christ is his head. Over the past couple of months when I was unable to care for myself, he was right there loving me as Christ loves His church - sacrifically.

Look for a God-fearing man who puts Christ first.

Honesty, strong faith, good morals, nondrinker, good sense of humor. Oh, and he has to look like George Clooney.

These are great.

As Steve Martin once said, I'm looking for someone with a good head on her shoulders......I hate necks.

What I'm looking for in a woman, is she has to be female. That's very important to me. And I'd prefer her without the evil eye. A non-drinker, non-ACLU supporter, and a non-satanist are a must. If she possesses sanity, all the better. I hate weekend visits to the loony bin.

I like hair. But I'll accept a bald woman as long as she has hair tattooed on her head.

I'd like her to speak english, but I do understand gibberish. I'm actually pretty fluent in it. I learned it when I was a drinker.

I hope she's an animal lover, cuz I sure love to cook and eat them.

I'd like her to be a person that tries new things, like riding a unicycle, because I love to laugh when people fall.

Oh, and she must be a good kisser, because I'm lousy at it, so she has to make up for both of us.

Wow, wyguy, you don't even care if she has HAIR? I'll bet you'll be inundated with calls from women if you put that up on a board somewhere!

Zoe,

In my younger years, my standards were pretty low . . . my only requirement was that he say "I do."

But now that I've got more sense, he must be a man of integrity that keeps his promises. He needs to be the spiritual head of the household. He should put God first . . . before me, our child and himself. It's icing on the cake if he laughs at my jokes, adores me, and has curly hair.

And in God's mercy, although I followed my "I do" standards in choosing a spouse, my groom grew into all of the things I mentioned above.

On a side note, Zoe. . . . if you're looking for a guy with a zany sense of humor and slightly warped, wyguy seems to fit the bill.
