I want to meet someone

You know... a romantic interest.

I want HIM to be

- fairly attractive (he doesn't have to be an Adonnis, but he does have to be pleasant enough to look at)

- warm

- intelligent

- hard-working, but not an workaholic

- an active person (no couch potato)

- enjoy the occasional touch of the ridiculous

- able to laugh at himself from time to time

- single

- heterosexual

- liberal

- disease-free

- willing to take time to get to know me




So, is this too much to ask? Anybody got any ideas where I can find this guy....

Do tell.

But it's a crazy world out there.

although I am a touch over my fighting weight due to an injury that preventing me from working out for a while, but now I am back hitting the gym again. Other than that.....

Fairly attractive... well I've never broken any cameras or mirrors and women and small children do not flee when they see me, so I guess I'm ok. :)

I do laugh at myself constantly, is that too much?


Other than the flu I just got over, I'm pretty good on the no disease thing too.

What if I enjoy the ridiculous more than occasionally? That's not a strike against me right?

I think I am a total genius... does that count as "intelligent"? :)

BTW, a few of my hobbies are (no lie) politics, cooking and karaoke. :)

You might have to fight SouthlandShari and fresianrider for me though. That's the downside. :)

"local" to the list.

:)

Libraries and bookstores, stake out the sections that interest you and don't be afraid to strike up a conversation.

Conversation boards like DU, but you already figured that out! ;)
Other boards with specific themes or about common hobbies are a good start, the more esoteric the better.

OK-cupid is fun, just for all the quizzes! And remember you can delete less than flattering quiz results.

Forget bars, unless your primary objective is sex.

I used to recommend church, but not so much anymore.

Do you already have or want kids? Kid related activities offer opportunities to meet single fathers.

Seems most people meet at work these days. Watch for sociopaths, meet their friends and see what they think of him, how does he treat them?

Hope this helps!

plenty of single moms.... no single dads

- fairly attractive (he doesn't have to be an Adonnis, but he does have to be pleasant enough to look at)

A recovering couch potato myself, I ain't perfect. But even I can say I am no means hideous either. Well, probably... you won't see me on "Hot or Not" anytime soon...

- warm

Probably.

- intelligent

I like to think so. O8)

- hard-working, but not an workaholic

Usually.

- an active person (no couch potato)

See above.

- enjoy the occasional touch of the ridiculous

I'm ridiculous all the time!

- able to laugh at himself from time to time

My dear, self-depreciating jokes are my bread and butter! (and my raspberry jam too... :9 )

- single

Eternally.

- heterosexual

Well... maaaaaaaaaaaaybe bi-curious, but I doubt it. Probably more desperate than anything. :7

- liberal

Obviously. :7

- disease-free

No STDs but I do have ADD and take Strattera for it...

- willing to take time to get to know me

I may have Asperger's Syndrome, but I do at least try despite my terminal flaws. That can't be said for many normal men, sadly...

I thought you said you were gay on that other thread? I have enough competition as it is. :)

Although, I have to give you props for being ridiculous and self-deprecating. Those are my fortes' as well. :)

Of course Woody Allen did say that being bi immediately doubled your chances of getting a date on Saturday night. Just avoid that whole Mia Farrow, Soon-Yi Previn thing and you should be fine. :hi:

Just kidding.

That meets 6% of your criteria!

Which would appear attractive!!! :bounce: We could be on to something.

Perhaps our darling MissMillie could soften up our dear Rabrrrrrr. :hi: :bounce:

:warning:

I am not, oh, how do they say it in Italy, "Available".

Confused. But I bet you still are ;)

This coming from someone still recovering from a broken heart. I believe there are nice guys out there, but then again, I still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too!:sarcasm:

;)

There's one in the DU photo gallery too.

You're cute.

I'd have to lose some weight to meet all of your criteria.

I'll let you know if it happens. Heh. ;)

You see... I was always the one that had to lose weight in order to seem attractive to anyone else.

Weight isn't the benchmark of activity. A big person can be an active person. And yes, a big person can most certainly be attractive.

:blush:

I'm sorry if I did.

Got any ideas of what I can cover.....

you're too funny

A man of good taste and refinement never forgets that sort of thing....

GET ON THE GROUND. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

Heh. Sorry. I'm watching "Cops."

;)

John Merrick. I am very pleased to meet you." :hi:

I was thinking just last night I should articulate what I want to the universe if I expect it to manifest.

And here you've gone and done exactly that. Bravo, and well done. :loveya:

how do we give the universe a nudge?

you don't ask for, anyway.

Which is why a well-articulated list like yours is proper, because you need to be very careful about what you ask for, and what you will do with what you get in case it's not what you asked for.

That's why I've been :hide: ing. I don't have a very clear picture about what I want, so I project "leave me alone"ness, and scan for wedding rings - which I avoid. I think we're having a Jupiter/Uranus hookup moment, or Saturn in Leo. And maybe it's the holidays? :D

So, good for you & go out and get some, or your groove back, or something else entirely.

I hope you get what you ask for, and go for it.

JK :hug: hang in there it'll happen for you.

:hi:
