This is the list I made of what i wanted, around the time I started dating:
Tall Fit Confident, in charge No Guessing Handsome Playful Open but not overly serious Damn good kisser -- and see in charge, above Not needy -- happy with his life but wanting to share it Yeah, reasonably liberal Articulate Kind, caring, gentlemanly Easy Interested in me
For myself -- what I want from my life: Someone who listens to me sing and thinks it's great. Who wants to help because he cares about me. Who does stuff.
What I want from my life: To pull the house together. To have my life together. To be the best of myself. Always. To not be in PTSD because Mr. Fantastic is an a-hole.
I'm going to be ok. I'm going to be alone for a while and that's probably good. But I do want to work through my fears and realize I really am OK. I'd like to meet someone brave enough to care about me. I'd like to not make a totally fool of myself.
