I'm very recently single so not anywhere near ready to mingle. I'm 48 and know what I want though. Thinking far into future dating any potential partner would have to meet certain criteria (my kids obviously) and certain things would be deal breakers. I couldn't date a racist for example. Probably not a smoker. I'd need to know their politics and views on Brexit 🤣
Just for fun what would your deal breakers be?
What questions would you ask?
It's all sounding a bit Rosie Project!

In my 20s I was looking for someone with the holy trinity of

  • own place to live (rented fine)
  • own car
  • job

I never managed to find a boyfriend with all three and DH only had one of these (working as a waiter 😂)

No excessive drinking. Not aggressively mood. Not addicted to fixing up cars (once had a letter from the council asking if we were running a private garage when I was with my ex. 12 old cars outside...)
No brown shoes.

Anyone with his balls in mummy's handbag
