mychelle: Must be able to communicate
Must be honest


All of the above.... geez only 2 qualities.....


PATIENCE (is that the same as tolerance?) is always first on my list....
confidence (but not arrogant)


not be impatient or arrogant (self centered)




compassionate (open minded) be positive

not be closed minded and negative


Be able to laugh at themselves first
Enjoy the small things

Not joke at other's expense
Not be critical of everything and every one. (suck the life/enjoyment out of everything)




Independent... be themselves
Independent .... as in have a job, be retired, have something to do

Not be stuck on material things
Depend on someone else to pay their way, mentally, emotionally and financially (not someone that lives off others and does nothing to help themselves.)

Not worry about their appearance and status (must have fancy car, money ... snob richie life style)



not be afraid to be imperfect ( - but not ones where you are abusive, drugs .... etc)

Have a belief in something and someone


Non believer in anything or anyone
Don't act like you are perfect



Be Real not fake

Be honest not a liar



Like yourself
Don't hate yourself

______________________

Compromise _ not have just their own way

Gentleness (but not push over) - not a bully



Honest communication

not responding or giving an answer just to keep the peace




Use soap and water brush your teeth etc (don't have to be the dressed best, but have pride in how clean you are.)

not clean or take pride in appearance ...

_________________________

Not on drugs, sober non drinking alcoholic, mild drinker (not all the time, or knows when to stop drinking)

Do not want druggies and heavy drinkers


Told you I could come up with too many.....

Honesty and open communication, without that, all else is pointless.

Drug abuser or habitual liar.

Yikes!!! I started this thread... you have all been busy putting your posts in and I was going to get home and add mine...so here goes:

purple heart Must haves
1. Honesty & personal strength & pride in self
2. Integrity & kindness & courage

scold Deal Breakers
1. Active addictions
2. Violent temper

angel Of course this can go on and on and on...we all have out likes and dislikes - do we really require a carbon copy of such, are we willing to hold out for the full meal deal so to speak? hmmm, something more to think about...innocent
