I'll never find a perfect person for me because I love heavy metal music, don't drink coffee or alcohol, never pumped my own gas and am left-handed.

Well being left handed at least you are in your right mind (just like me cuz I am also left handed).

I throw left, kick left, shoot pool left, shoot guns left, write right, eat right, play tennis right, play golf right, swing a hammer both, and drink lots of coffee and occasionally lots of alcohol. And not changing any time soon.

I haven't been asked out that much...two of the three men that I have gone out with started out as just friends that kind of grew into "lets try this as a real date". One lasted over a year and broke my heart ... and the other, we both recognized that although there is some attraction, we are NOT a match and it would be stupid to pursue this to the point where we would have to end it. We are still friends. The last was someone who had noticed me at the ballpark where we both had kids playing. That took a huge stretch to accept because I only knew his first name when I finally agreed to just meet him for dinner. I have decided to seriously consider anyone who asks me out unless there is something in me screaming that there is something not to be trusted about the man. I don't care what he looks like...as long as his hygiene is adequate, I can eat with someone in a public place.

The man that asked me out was obviously enough of a good dad to be spending time watching his son play mediocre ball. That is what finally convinced me to return his call. To be honest, I didn't even know if he was single...but I had my car so I could leave if he turned out to be a jerk. He actually was an okay guy...but our schedule never seemed to mesh and nothing came of it...

I am not naturally much of a "social" person but I am working very hard at trying to not turn down when people ask me to join them. I seldom regret it and have met some interesting people ... both male and female.

Someone in a professional field, intelligent, hard working with ambitions who understands that I like my independence and who doesn't want children. Perfect!

Pick me! I meet all of those qualifications!:clap:

These two seem perfect for me. I met them on an over 40 Singles' Cruise. One is from Chicago.The other one is from Miami. I never get this lucky in California. Where I live.

My husband did not meet hardly any of my "qualifications". It took 8 years for me to finally accept that I really did not want to live without him in my life. Although he was far from perfect, he turned out to be perfect for me.

I will not prejudge a book anymore...even if I think I have a template in mind.

You can go overboard on "qualifications" but I think it is important to have enough things in common. If you have great differences on some core beliefs so that you go to one church and your partner goes to another church, you are living in a kind of polite "agree to disagree" mode and that is not ideal. If you like mostly quiet activities and your partner likes mostly activities where there are a lot of people and noise, then one would see the other as tiring and the other would see the one as boring. I had thought that a partner a little less introverted than me would be helpful - she could help me with social activities like when we have to go to parties and such - I can be somewhat awkward and clueless. But someone really extroverted would probably find me either dull or exasperating.

lol .. ya, the opposite is only on a few characteristics I think for it to work. Clearly opposite on everything would leave the couple with nothing in common.

I would just love to spend the rest of my life with someone who has the same positive traits that I have,but not the same negative traits that I have.

As an analogy,two Dr.Jekyls would get along a lot easier than Mr.and Mrs.Hyde. IMHO.

I honestly don't know what I want. Somedays I desparately wish I had someone to help me thru this life but other days I don't have the energy.

But I look at my "happy" friends on FB and one thing I DO know is that I want someone that really loves me. I don't think that's too much to ask as I am the kind of person that's "all in" if I'm in, so when I love, I love deeply too and that's what I want.

It's SO sad for me to think, this will probably be the crappiest birthday ever. I work ON my BD and if my SIL hadn't offered to cook my favorite dish and celebrate, it would just be another boring day. Oh well. that's life.

Well being left handed at least you are in your right mind (just like me cuz I am also left handed).
But you are still sinister. I love saying that to my uncle and his reply is what you said.

Proverbs 31 gives all we men need for the right woman.

I'm not understanding the sinister comment. I am still a sinner either way, but is that what you meant. And I don't think I can live up to the Proverbs 31 woman, although I would like to.
