So are you one of those girls that have a criterion list for the guy of your dreams? I know i do, until now. Just last night over dinner, my girl friend and i were brooding over how unsuccessful our love life was and is, and that maybe the whole list deal is just not worth having.
Everywhere we look there would be someone who would encourage us to find Mr. Right. Friends say "never settle for second best". Hollywood airs numerous shows that keep the Prince-Charming dreaming alive. The Internet pop up propmises of romance at the click of a mouse.
The hope of having the Perfect Guy just seem so unreachable and having a list of criterion isn't much of a help. So should everyone throw their list out their window and settle for second best? Certainly not. Ditching our list doesn't mean giving up any standards. It only means that if you were to go on a date, you should look at him/her as a person and not as an employee who has to meet all the various criterion set out.
So the next time you go on a date, look past all the qualities that used to be on the list and try to get to know his/her heart. It would be a challenge, but hey, without any challenge there is no excitment is there?
Good luck...

I can't imagine it working though. Isn't the point finding someone who makes us happy? And if you have a list, won't that restrict you in finding someone who you THINK might make you happy when in actually fact, you might not know WHAT makes you happy. Umm, did that make sense?
And on the other side, I think I'd be offended if someone went out with me just because i matched their criteria! In fact, I'd tell them to go and shove it so i can go and find someone else who loves me and doesn't need a list to tell them that.

Legally Brunette I can see where you're coming from...but you must have some sort of criteria?! Otherwise you'd just go out with anyone who asked you right?

I just don't think we should limit ourselves to say, someone who is really hot with a mercedes and a good sense of humour. Because if we do, we might be missing out on that less hot bike riding chef, or that short adorable musical genius. My point is, he might not sound like your type on paper, but in real life, he might be exactly what you need. Make sense?
