Wow, this is a marvelous list and write. ....In writing this, I believe you are reflecting yourself, so if you possess these qualities, then there must be a man out there that does too or at least most of them : )....My poem: 'I'll date you If' lists what I want in a guy. Wishing you your forever. Hugs

This is a heart warming piece. I expect it will do very well. The right man will at least want to be all these things.

I think it is me who is going to have to compromise, this is a list for the perfect man with no flaws, very unrealistic . . .
