I’ve gone on about how Mr. Right is nowhere to be found, but have yet to explain what it is I’m even looking for. Thus commences the first Side Note of the Rules & Roses series.
I’m going to make this list as extensive as possible so that readers (and myself) can keep better track of what it is I’m looking for.
Physical
Height: 5”9’+
I’m already quite short so this is a hard rule.
In good shape
They don’t have to be buff but at least show that they care about health to an extent
Nice hair
Washed mainly…
Well kept
I make sure I always look good, I want my man to as well.
Mentality
Respectful
For obvious reasons.
Chivalrous
I think I’ve made my point on this by now.
Sweet/Kind
Being rude for no reason isn’t cute neither is it when disguised as “brutal honesty”.
Ambitious
I need someone who’s working towards big goals, because I am too.
Smart
This and the next point go hand in hand, but I think a lot so I need a guy who thinks a bit too.
Well-rounded/ Open Minded
Even on the small stuff, don’t be close minded.
Is a gentleman
I think I’ve made this apparent.
Extras
Can hold a conversation
This is crucial, and hard to find unfortunately.
Has a job
Seems obvious but putting it in writing.
Has graduated college or plans to
Goes with the ambition part. I’m going places, either meet me there or be left behind.
Has a car
I barely like driving myself, I’m not being chauffeur for a guy I’m not locked in with.
Manages money well
I know I can overspend sometimes (most times) but being broke isn’t cute.
Has similar interests
Being able to have deep, intellectual conversations is paramount
Is NOT a Conservative, Moderate, or “Not Political”
I don’t want to have to teach a grown man how bigotry is bad. Or that even if you “don’t do politics”, politics will do you.
