a person has to show interest in either reading or movies...but different kinds of reading and movies...not just main stream. if a person can carry on a decent, intellectual convo about either of those i'm usually hooked. i don't like people who carry on in a snob like manner...but simply someone who's able to make a beautiful, intelligent sentence about it all. :D
You know what, I don't think I've ever been on a date-date, or even been asked on a date. Usually I meet people wherever I work or go to school, and stuff develops from there, but usually it's just like hanging out more and more often, until finally we give up and move in together. I'm not much on being wined and dined, I prefer things to be more casual.
As for what it takes to be my boyfriend/girlfriend... basically I'm open to anyone who isn't an obvious fucktard. I've been romantically involved with people from all walks of life; there is no particular formula or type.
*grins* At this point the person's lj name has to be lazycatsteve :)
Prior to being married, I would have answer thusly: Must: like animals (specifically cats) be smart! sarcastic silly aware of the larger world around us make me laugh in turn laugh at my jokes. ;)
for someone to be as equally as independent as me and to understand that i do get busy with work and i also value my friends and want to spend time with them.
Some one who is goofy, and smiles a lot. He has to be able to put up with my quirkyness and have the same religious interests, only because I need someone who understands how important odd things are to me lol. :)
Assuming that I'm free to date, which I'm not, but if I were:
Must be reasonably intelligent. You don't have to be a member of Mensa, just well spoken and able to read books without pictures.
Must be able to have an intelligent conversation and be able to back up your opinions. Also, not freak out if there happens to be a :60 lull in the conversation.
Must be able to enjoy comfortable silences. Sometimes there just aren't any words, and that's OK.
I want somebody who can hold a conversation with me and make me think, somebody who is willing to think on their own, somebody who is willing to meet in the middle.
Be attentive but not over-attentive Don't push, but don't be afraid to take the initiative occasionally Accept that I have a strange sense of humour Talk to me, and I've got to be able to talk to you Buy flowers occasionally, or chocolates, or wine, but also to expect the same and not be surprised when I do so. Be aware that there are times when I might try to run and hide and that you've just got to be patient and ride it out.
