Not been single long, not officially anyway, but after a dead-in-the-water marriage I find myself thinking about meeting someone else. Trouble is, I have such a long list of requirements, lol. So in an ideal world, what attributes would your ideal new man (or woman) have? Mine would be:
Over 6ft
Dark hair
beautiful teeth
Nice smile
Laughter lines (can't be doing with another misery guts)
Nice dresser
Must smell nice (there's a reason for that too!)
Not too skinny
Be kind
Thoughtful
Romantic
Funny
Good with kids
Honest
Loyal

Obviously it's a tongue in cheek list, but I've out up with s**t for so long that I've raised the stakes as it were. I'll probably fall for a 5ft blond with false teeth who'd idea of romance is taking the bin out once a week!

ROFL....you know, I have recently became single and went on a date recently, and when I came back it made me realise what a fussy cow I am.
It only takes the wrong shaped ankles and I CANNOT focus on anything else other than....I dont like your ankles.
And nothing can shift the fact that I dont like them....and so could never go further than that..

So the chances of me meeting someone who does it for me, with the right shaped ankles, and for them to be happy with my wreck of a shell too are........well 0.0001%
chance I think.
Ho hum.....
