Just recently someone said that I will probably never find a new love in my life because of "my exacting standards" and "my criteria"!!! I just had to try not to take this too personally after all I'd just told him that he wasn't the one for me.

For a moment I thought perhaps he was right and decided to look at what he termed "my exacting standards and criteria" and came up with this.

What I want:

Someone to talk to
Someone to laugh (and even cry with)
Romance and Passion
Someone who makes me feel special
Someone who makes me feel alive
A good snogger

That doesn't seem too much to ask for in one person :no:

As for criteria (apart from the above)

I'm not racist - apart from green-eyed monsters!

I'm not ageist - but perhaps would have to seriously think about the under 35s and the over 75s

I'm not sizist - in all interpretations of this statement!

I'm not materialistic but have to safeguard what little I possess

I'm not looking for looks - though I might turn down Quasimodo (unless he had a good sense of humour and could snog well!!)

I don't really want a smoker but wouldn't say no to a considerate one who goes outside to do so.

That's about it. Oh I might be sexist - I want a man (perhaps that's where I'm going wrong? -nah!)

So - am I looking for the unattainable?

Answers on a postcard please.

ps - and not married!
