My ideal match will have an easy and genuine smile, spark in his eyes, and playfulness in his heart. He will enjoy laughing as much as I do, and will try to do so on a daily basis! He will be patient, but still posess a sense of urgency, enjoy his accomplishments, but not be identified by them. He will believe in God, and wont shortcut anyone, for anything, at anytime. A healthy dose of ornriness doesn't hurt, either!

Opening doors for his woman will not be foreign to him, nor will holding hands at any opportunity be uncomfortable for him. (Honestly, youll probably find my index finger hanging on in your back pocket most of the time--) Visiting quietly together over coffee, teasing each other over an occasional beer during a barbeque, or just sitting on the front porch together will be things he truly looks forward to.

...Plus, the one I am looking for will love making me go weak at the knees when he kisses me, and that will happen on a very regular basis...

Things I love: Heartfelt laughter, whispers in my ear, a pat on the hip, love notes left for me, strong yet gentle hands, a playful appreciative whistle, or a wink from across the room, followed by that look that lets me know he can't wait to get me back home.

Things I dont love: Poor hygiene, poorer manners, disrespect for the elderly, the underpriveleged, the handicapped, or other groups that had no say in how they came to be where they are in life. If you can't (or worse yet, don't want to) communicate with someone you expect to share your life--pass me by. I dont much care for chewed fingernails either, so just gotta say it.
