☆Your Other Half
What are the main attributes you look for in another half?
Good Points attract you to a man? Patience above all, since I can be a lot to deal with. A dry sense of humor is great, it helps to balance out my over the top antics. The ability to be loose and have fun, without worrying too much about how people will react. However, since that describes me as well, I've always needed a guy who won't go overboard like I do, who has the manners and charm to apologize for BOTH of us at the end of the day. And being good with kids is a must!
Bad Points attract you to a man? Before I met my husband, I've always been attracted to the sly, "bad boy" type. Maybe it's because I grew up in a strict household, with a police officer for a father? I think I've grown out of that by now... If there's anything I can fault my husband for, it's that he can be really kind of slow to catch on when it comes to things like my emotions and needs. I know that I require a lot of attention as part of my personality, but there are days when that just totally goes over his head. I have to keep telling myself that it's not that he's not caring, he's just, you know. A guy. :p And there are days I wish he'd loosen up a bit, and let go... but I think that's more an issue of my not quite having grown out of my party days yet. :3
What are his good habits Very polite, very polished, and makes a good impression from the get go. Honestly, he kind of makes me look bad. :p Well educated and involved in the world around him. Always willing to help those who need it. Not always the most romantic in the world, but when he is it surprises you, and means that much more because of that.
What are his faults Sometimes a bit too much of a lecturer - I didn't marry my dad for crying out loud, so I don't always need to be told what I'm doing wrong. He can be a bit high and mighty, as if my faults are very apparent, but his are non-existant. And sometimes his caustic way of putting things can be surprising hurtful.
What kind of looks do you go for? Tall (although, my being 5ft means just about everyone falls into that catagory) with a slender build, but fairly broad shoulders. Dark hair, dark eyes with a certain intensity. A smile that's often slow to appear, but dazzles once it does.
Do looks matter or do you look for something else? Looks do matter for me, but they're not a deal breaker. I fall for people based on what's inside of them, and after that is when I usually find things about their appearance that I'm attracted to.
☆You☆
Brave or Coward Brave (Though some would call it foolish), I don't want to miss out on things because I was too scared to try, but this gets me in trouble a lot...
Modern or Old Fashioned Old fashioned when it comes to love; I'd harboured dreams of being carried away by a white knight in shining armour ever since I first began to dream of romanance...
Are You more Lustful or Loving? Lustful, but driven by love. Since I met my husband, I've never wanted to sleep with anyone else. I am utterly devoted to him, but I lust for him still, very passionately and at times spontaneously. Like my other moods, my sexual drives can be very quixotic, and a bit overwhelming.
Moody or Happy I'm generally happy, but have moods that come and go easily. I've never been a person who could rein my feelings in.
Pessimistic or optimistic Always optimistic to the extreme!
Home or Adventure Very adventurous, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy being at home. After all, there's adventure to be had there too. I'm the type of person who will find adventure wherever I am. :p
Impulsive or think things through Too impulsive, I'm afraid, which is why I'm lucky that my husband is able to remain uncannily calm under pretty much any circumstances. He talks me down. :3
Romantic or Not
☆Him☆
Brave or Coward He's very brave, to give his life to a girl like me! LOL! Like I said, I'm a person who needs to be the center of attention, and marrying me was a commitment not lightly made. His family is Muslim, mine is Catholic - that was another show of bravery, when he married me despite their disdain.
Modern or Old Fashioned Probably more modern than I would give him credit for, but in my mind he'll always be my white knight. :p
Is He more Lustful or Loving? More loving, but passionate, he's the kind of guy who burns slowly. He'll generally let me lead when it comes to the act, but he's definitely a part of it. Just not in the wild sort of way I am.
Moody or Happy Stoic. He doesn't smile a huge amount, and looks a bit embaressed when he does. It's totally adorable, btw. XD But he has a content, peaceful soul and doesn't get moody easily.
Pessimistic or optimistic Optimistic, though not crazily so like me. He weighs the options in a bit more of a realistic manner.
Home or Adventure When I married him, I was surprised by his inclination to let me lead him on crazy adventures. He may not come up with them himself, but he's always game. :)
Impulsive or think things through He's the one who thinks things through in our relationship. Someone has to and... it wasn't going to be me. :p
Romantic or Not Seems not to be, and then suddenly he'll surprise you with his thoughtfulness. In someways I think that's the most romantic thing of all.
☆Couple
What do you do together? Go to events like art shows, concerts, political rallies, etc. We love travelling together as well. Both of us trained in ballet and modern dance, so when we started going out we took ballroom and swing dance lessons, and now we go dancing in Chicago each New Year's Eve. We mostly share the same group of friends, so there's a lot of hanging around with them as well. We both teach, so we spend a lot of afternoons either at home or Starbucks, sitting together and quietly going over lesson plans or grading assignments. We both like acting, or working backstage in shows, and we both love sports (but tend to be VERY competetive against each other :p). Our absolute favorite thing to do together is to watch our nieces and nephews, we both adore children.
Do you enjoy spending all your time with him or do you spend most of your time apart
What would you do for valentines day/anniversaries.. do you celebrate these events? We don't really celebrate our anniversary, and Valentines Day we usually go somewhere with friends. The holidays we celebrate are more along the lines of New Years and Christmas.
Who would most likely start arguements? ME. :p
Who would most likely end arguement? HIM. :p
This is not a "likely" scenario. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. LOL! Although I may say often that he started it, the truth usually comes to show that he did or said something perfectly innocent, and I took it the wrong way and lost my temper...
If he cheated would you forgive him I don't know. I love him with all of my heart, but I'm possessive as well, and part of my love for him is my faith that he wouldn't cheat, so I find it hard to even imagine being in this situation. I'm ashamed to admit this, but if I'm being honest... if one of us was going to cheat on the other, it would be more likely to be me.
☆Anything Else☆
I'm sure you noticed, but I didn't fill this out in reference to a hypothetical "dream guy," instead I wrote expressly about my husband and our relationship. It's weird, but I really can't think in an abstract sense of what I want in a man anymore - Nick keeps popping up in my head. I suppose that's a good thing, right? :p
