Opportunities come to those who know what they want...

Often we hear people talking about Mr./Ms. Right. But when you ask them to describe this person, we mumble a few adjectives-Understanding, smart, intellectual, luving, caring...And that's the end of the list.

For whatever reasons, we can never have a clear picture of that person in our minds. And that is the reason, mostly, that we are never able to make out even when he is right in front of us.

Having a well-defined list of attributes- for a Mr. Right may sound a little too 'un-romantic' or like a 'job-finder', however, it prepares you for finding him.

Here is a list that is segregated on the criteria- 'Must Haves'-Things that cannot be done without; 'Wish list'- that if there is taken as a bonus; and the 'Knockout Punches' that can lead anyone out of the game-right away.

MUST HAVES:
  • Someone smart and intellectually stimulating, who is compatible with me in that- he likes to talk about ideas.
  • Someone spiritual or interested in developing himself and a spiritual life.
  • A good person with a big heart, who is kind and luving.
  • Someone who takes care of his professional and financial life.
  • Someone who is committed to the relationship, who is willing to work on it.
  • Someone who is supportive of my goals & dreams and can be supportive when I have rough time or a bad day. Some one who is willing to TAKE support from me in return, who won't hide or run away when he needs support.
  • Someone who is passionate and has a zest for life.
  • Some one who is not fooled by my self-reliance and can see and accept my vulnerability.
  • Someone with a strong sense of integrity.

WISH LIST:

  • Someone who makes me laugh and has wit.
  • Someone who can get along with my friends and my family.
  • A good lover who can express himself be it physically or verbally- lovingly with consideration and openness.
  • Tall

KNOCK-OUT PUNCHES:

  • Someone who is a sexist- thinking it's okay to abuse/hit, taking out the frustration on her.
  • Someone who is unwilling to be open and communicative, who withdraws when problems arise, leaving me in the middle of the way.
  • Someone who doesn't like my family or whom my familt doesn't like.
  • Someone who doesn't value or maintain his friendships.
  • Someone I am not attracted to.

Well...that's the list for now...amendments are inevitable...!

Stay Good.
