What do you look for in a significant other?
someone who i know is going to keep me laughing, but can also be serious. I need someone to keep my head out of the clouds all the time and remind me that there is a real world. I look for intelligence and someone who is a bit unique and has a lot of depth and things for me to figure out about them. It also helps if they are cute and over 6 feet tall.
Do they HAVE to be "Mr/Mrs Righ" or will "good enough" do? Do you just sometimes need to be with SOMEONE (anyone?)
good enough will never do. i have to have exactly what i'm looking for, and i will not settle for anything less.
Do you have 'friends with benefits' and if so, how do you determine who you'll do this with and how does this relationship play out?
I had friends with benefits back in high school when i was dating this boy that was younger than myself. I would never do this again. I only did it that time because i really still wanted some sort of a connection to him and i wanted him to stay away from other girls.
Are you a traditional 1 person at a time monogamous type or do you play the field or have ambiguous relationships or else nontraditional arrangements with people?
I'm the traditional 1 persona at a time monogamous type
How to decide when to step it up from casual dating to something else?
When i start feeling like there is really a real connection and the other person and i start spending a lot of time together and i really miss them when they are not around.
Are you a tease? A flirt? Do you flirt with intent or just for fun?
I've been called a tease and a flirt but i've never noticed these qualities in myself, so i must do it without noticing.
How do you get out of relationships?
breaking up i guess. heh. if i want to break up with someone, i usually find a way for them to want to break up with me, because i don't want to hurt them. it seems sort of manipulative, but i can't live knowing that i hurt someone the guilt will be there forever.
Are you usually calling the shots?
yeah i'd say i usually am.
Can you tell when you first meet someone that they are Dating/Long Term/ Fun material?
most of the time, but i've been fooled a few times.I dated this one guy for awhile that i thought was going to be a long term sort of thing, but once we finally had sex, he stopped talking to me. sadness.
Do you ask people out or make it clear that you want to be asked out or are you very sly about it or does being asked out catch you off guard?
there is no way i would ever ask anyone out. i would be too scared. i prefer to be asked out but i'm usually sly about it, i would never come out and say that i want someone to ask me out.
Even if you two had great chemistry, are there any deal-breakers?
drug use is a huge deal breaker as well as any sort of violence of course or if the guy has a girlfriend or a wife which i've encountered a few times unfortunately.
