It's not fun going through life having no one there who truly "Gets" what you are doing and why. You need someone who may not always agree with you, but sees the bigger picture as to why you are doing it in the first place. Someone to sound ideas off of and who won't be afraid to help you in what is important to you, just as you would do to him.Susan Bloomingdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417072741266397758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-81671808742102238242011-06-11T17:27:48.216-04:002011-06-11T17:27:48.216-04:00Oh y'all are so true!

If he finds himself ending a majority of his "jokes" with the words "just kidding" or "just teasing" then he needs to go to some comedy classes.<br /><br />I'm with Lynne on the integrity-honesty items. If the only way a man feels better about himself is through the "conquest" then a relationship will always have issues. Most importantly, don't lie to himself about what he wants. Just because all of his friends are in relationships doesn't mean he should be.<br /><br />Finally, he should spend time with his male friends. I want to know that he can maintain a relationship with others above and beyond the sex aspect. Male friends - not necessarily 'bromances' - tells me that relationships are important to him.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16931382885051917610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-51764629790352618192011-06-10T12:53:58.745-04:002011-06-10T12:53:58.745-04:00Et tu, Barbara?

I raised both my son and daughter to be independent, so I totally agree about doing his own laundry and making an attempt to pick up a house. But I assume you're talking starting out with someone new.<br />Integrity is a biggie for me. Who wants a guy who isn't honest (with himself or others). I'm thinking a certain BIG story here (well, several, lately). Be honest!<br />It doesn't matter how a guy "performs" if you can't trust him. <br />Another test, that should still be important out there in this new dating world, how does this wannabe hero treat public servants? (waittresses etc)<br />Nice blog.Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-43895524013285354472011-06-10T11:32:09.110-04:002011-06-10T11:32:09.110-04:00Hi Skylar,

He draws the line at washing my car, but I do appreciate a considerate man!!Charlene Sandshttp://www.charlenesands.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-52419942075039048312011-06-10T11:31:28.259-04:002011-06-10T11:31:28.259-04:00Ooh, though list!

I must have thought of half a dozen qualities that I personally demand...or, you know, lucked into. ;) But they might not be universally applicable. <br /><br />How's this one: Be sincerely interested. I think there's probably nothing sexier than a guy who can make you feel like you're the most fascinating person in his world...or at least in the room. lol!<br /><br />Oh, and how about: Be compassionate. I think that's probably non-negotiable for me along with be open-minded and,for the love of God, don't take yourself too seriously.PG Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819909187492632526noreply@blogger.com
