I'm sarcastic and need someone that can throw it right back. 3. Loyal/honest/trustworthy... those all fall in the same category. 4. He must have manners. I'd prefer if he opened doors (please don't just "pass" it to me, at least in the beginning), and just do things in general that show he's a respectful human. 5. I have to be attracted to him. Doesn't mean he has to look like a model, but I just have to have that spark, chemistry, attraction... whatever you call it. I need to be excited to hear from him or see him. When I come home from going out with him I want to be so giddy I can't sleep (again, in the beginning at least).

This year I've had long conversations with EMTs, firefighters, expert witnesses, a chef, photographers (love photography), etc. I don't see why everyone is harping on me about this. Two other people agreed with me on the first page. Why does it matter so much? To be honest, it sounds like you are trying to live vicariously through these people with 'exciting' careers and it's not about the mental stimulation at all. If you don't mind me asking, what is your career/job? Earning my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I love it - it's challenging, interesting, rewarding, and difficult all at the same time.

Forgive me if I'm three steps behind you, have you tried online dating? In real life you don't get that handy tick box that tells you somebody's gay or bi, so at least it cuts out the awkward small talk portion when you're trying to feel out the sexuality question I tried it over summer. There are only 4 pages of W4W on match.com in my city, half of whom haven't logged in in over 3 mos and don't respond to messages/winks, whittling me down to 2 pages of people. I went out on one date with a bisexual girl who I was crazy about, but she has a boyfriend now. The others weren't my type - ex: one was 26 and was getting drunk every night (her Facebook page is also vulgar and crude - not into that), etc. I'm going to keep my eye on it and see if anyone new joins. I'm also trying to work my way into the gay community here, so that could be an option too. sup

It's weird that people are getting this impression because I'm not getting this impression at all. I also don't get the impression that she is saying those without fun, exciting careers are unworthy of relationships like other people are saying.
