Dear Lilac09:
Pardon me for saying so, but it sounds like your ideal is the stereotypical WBM (White Boring Man). You know, some guy who smiles broadly, but doesn't smirk (doesn't even know how to); a guy who genuinely drinks two Scotches on the rocks, but has never been stupid on bourbon; a man who believes travelling means to have a 12-day itinerary of European capitals and hotels tucked inside his lapel pocket (and has never in his life even once thought of hitch-hiking in Vermont); a man who regards lovemaking as desirable (but only in the dark on weekends). Yuck.
Pardon me for saying so, but you do not seem to be this type at all! You seem beautiful and fiery and full of life. You sound like you are full of dimension and wonder and doubt. You sound like you genuinely love adventure and discovering the unknown, both the interior of your soul, and the untold secrets of the great world itself.
Do you really just want a man to hold the car keys, to know where you're going, to steady you when you're tipsy, to remind you of your pill when you forget, to keep your calendar, mind the books, open the champagne with a deft movement, and give your children his surname like Whitsome or Greer or Entwhistle? Pardon me for saying so, but why tie yourself down, why limit yourself to such a boring old stick?
Pardon my saying so, but I think you deserve a helluva lot more and a helluva lot better than that.
