Checklist

It was April of 2008 when I first posted this list on my other website. I am reposting the list here to check how close I got to what I wanted.

*******************

I refuse to date losers. After my last relationship (Blogger's Note: July 2007), I told myself that I will never ever settle again for someone who is not quite right. Seven years of failed attempts and broken hearts support this decision. Anyway, I have made life easier for everyone, including myself, by making a checklist of characteristics I am looking for. I can still dream, right? 

1. I need to laugh often. If you cant make me laugh then forget it, things will not work out. Mababaw lang kaligayahan ko.

2. You have to make sense. I do not need a geek (Blogger's Note: Geek, this does not refer to you of course), I just need someone who is smarter than me. I'm sorry my dear, knowing the names of all the bones and muscles in the body does not make you smart. Knowing how to get around the metro might give you a better chance (read: street smart).

3. You have to speak and write well. I cannot be your language teacher/editor - I do that all the time at work so I would not like to be one at home too.

4. You have to look decent. If I were to look at you every waking morning then you have to look nice, right? If I were to introduce you to my friends, you would at least need to look human. No, I will not settle for a puppy - at least not anymore.

5. I need someone who has a decent job (Blogger's Note: Bottomline is you should be self-sufficient). No, I will not depend on you for my expenses but hey, let's face it, you have to be my equal. If you have a decent job with decent working hours, send me a message and let's schedule a movie date. *wink*wink*

6. You need to know what you're doing. I would not mind teaching you but please learn the basics. 

7. You have to know how to respect my alone time. Please stop hugging me while Im sleeping, I cant sleep. It may look sweet but a boy needs to sleep alone every now and then. I also cannot stand another person in the bathroom while I'm taking a crap - it's just too invasive! (Blogger's Note: Oops TMI)

8. The Toothpaste Basic. I am just looking for someone who knows how to properly press the toothpaste out of the tube. (Blogger's Note: Sorry, OC)

9. Foodie. You have to be someone who loves good food. 

10. Ready for Me. Lastly, someone who would take me just the way I am. I can change a little but hey, a boy can only do so much. I'm one package - as is, where is.

I think I did well - I almost got there.
