Describe your ideal husband, wife, or partner
My ideal husband would have a great sense of humor definitely. I love someone who I can make laugh.// Intelligence is also a bonus. I don’t mean someone who knows how to solve every mathematical equation either. I’d just like someone who can sometimes think outside the box. // I also think hobbies are important. It seems like there are too many people who spend most of their time in front of the television, playing video games or on the computer. A guy who likes to fix stuff around the house, garden, tinker with cars, or even collect stamps would be better than nothing. In other words, someone who has a real passion for a hobby would be interesting! // I know men don’t tend to be talkers either, though I like guys who can talk freely and express their feelings. I’m not saying that they have to be all mushy and emotional. But like men, sometimes women don’t know what guys are thinking and if you clam up then we are even more lost. // Being a good lover would be important too. I want a guy who can sometimes be that sweet, gentle, romantic lover . //Faithfulness goes without saying it really. In today’s world with the amount of diseases out there, I would sincerely hope that he would be faithful.
