Practicing Christian; healthy relationships with family and friends, active in the community; some common interests; generally a happy (drama free) person; at least my age or older; no kids; decent job; decent home, decent car and physically attractive (to my taste).

I'm still single and probably will be forever. I don't have a list because I know it's really not needed as I have no desire to get attached romantically.

Single. Honest. Trustworthy. Fun/Funny. Financially secure. Lives alone/in their own house/apartment. Doesn't smoke. Doesn't do drugs. Makes our relationship a priority. Doesn't continue to look once we start dating.

I never would date anyone who judges people based on criteria from a checklist.

I met my husband when I was 18. He was 25. I was young but I knew immediately he was a good guy. I was 100% right. We married a year later and will celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary this year.

What is wrong about having things you want in a prospective partner? Is it also wrong to have things you DON'T want in a prospective partner?

A pulse.


No seriously, I never really had a "checklist of must haves", more like must NOT haves. Nobody that reminded me of my ex husband (narcissist types), illegal drugs, no illegal activities,
