I really dread these 'describe your ideal mate' questions - but sigh, like brussel sprouts, or certain unnamed political figures, they're a necessary evil I guess! Well, in a nutshell, my ideal guy is someone who is: intelligent (a must), likes at least some of the things I do, is compassionate towards his fellow human beings when they need it, financially secure, spontaneous, not afraid to 'let his hair down' and live in the moment, is kind, has a wicked sense of humour, likes to be affectionate, can appreciate small gestures, and not just the big ones, isn't afraid to cry if the situation warrants it, likes the outdoors, can appreciate the marvels of life occasionally, isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and help me with cleaning up, or washing the dishes, and importantly, he believes there is a God out there, and that we aren't all just some random accident!
