Seriously, if a guy is a fan of Bill O'Reilly, there is no way we would ever work. Also, if the guy doesn't have a sense of humour about himself, there is no way it would ever work. And one last one - if he never uses adverbs properly. Ex: Says over the pulpit "I felt the Spirit so strong on my mission." Because any conversation would entail me loudly correcting his grammar.lpxaoScullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620935129369892579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-75962879890445471952006-12-08T13:17:00.000-07:002006-12-08T13:17:00.000-07:00Burping and not excusing himself.

When people spend like 5-10 minutes each morning in intentionall trying to hack up stuff? Ed's roomate did this. It was so repulsive. <br /><br />People with reptiles.<br /><br />Sloobery kissers.

1. ...If I were still looking...here would be mine:<br /><br />1. Gets together regularly with guy friends to shoot each other while playing xbox.<br /><br />2. Is afraid of laundry or diapers. <br /><br />3. Talks about himself...like all the time...and forgets my name...even though we have been dating for over a year...and gives me a guilt trip when I try to break up with him...so I dont...and forces me to move far away to get away from him. (Not saying that it happened, but if it did, I would totally take that as a red flag...) <br /><br />4. Exercises his "priesthood authority" to give me weekly interviews to see if I am still worthy of him. (Wow. I actually went out with one of those.)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931656703800469915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-14764109461255105702006-12-08T12:42:00.000-07:002006-12-08T12:42:00.000-07:00Ramblings...did you mean cynophobia - an abnormal ...Ramblings...did you mean cynophobia - an abnormal fear of dogs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-16287785651019345222006-12-08T12:28:00.000-07:002006-12-08T12:28:00.000-07:00Mine are:

This makes me very peeved.<br /><br />2) Must open doors or at least attempt chivalry in some way. <br /><br />3)Don't have me plan the date and get people for your friends to date. I plan stuff for me all the time. I don't want to worry about throwing a group date together for a guy who asked me out.<br /><br />4) Doesn't make me laugh. It's not a first date deal breaker for me since I know we can all get nervous on the first date. However, I love a good sense of humor. It's actually rare I can find a guy who makes me laugh consistently. When I do find them, I date them for awhile. I don't want to provide the comedy enjoyment in my family all the time.<br /><br />5) Doesn't have a work ethic. I realized this when I dated someone who was unemployed and had no motivation to look for a job. <br /><br />6) Doesn't have an intelligent conversation with me. I'm intellectual and I enjoy using my mind.<br /><br />7) Cracks librarian jokes or makes fun of my home state. I love where I'm from and my profession so a guy shouldn't make me want to slug him for his discourtesy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-36726447590426243142006-12-08T12:15:00.000-07:002006-12-08T12:15:00.000-07:00Oh.

I was a missionary and can shake hands like a pro, if his handshake is more feminine than mine, it may as well be a handshake goodbye.<br /><br />2. Has to tolerate my cat. Not necessarily love her, but not wince when she walks in the room.<br /><br />3. Has to think I'm funny. I don't know why any guy would be interested who DOESNT think Im funny, because then I would just be annoying, but some of them just don't get my sarcasm, wit, dry humor, corny puns, you name it.<br /><br />4. Ditto on the rudeness, anger management, road rage, etc.<br /><br />5. Has to have a vocabulary comparable to my own.Saritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094278384918808776noreply@blogger.com
