Raise your hand if you noticed.
Apparently I forgot to update yesterday, oops.
What do I think is datable?
Joking answer: Them wanting to date me?
Ok, sorry, got that out of my system.
I want someone who's smart, who can challenge me intellectually without feeling the need to make me feel stupid. That doesn't make you look smarter, friends and neighbors, it just makes you look like you have no confidence in your own intelligence. Someone who has a sense of humor, even if it's a painful one. I'd like them to have enough in common with me that we have stuff to talk about, but enough different to make for a wacky sitcom atmosphere interesting conversation. I'd say what I like physically, but I've proven time and time again that I don't really care.
What I don't want:
*A spaz. I'm generally looking for someone whose energy can help balance mine out. I'm so high energy that it helps to be around someone who is pretty chill.
*A user. I mean this both in the physical and emotional sense. I don't want someone who does drugs, alcohol, or whatever. I don't live that lifestyle and I don't want them to either. I also don't want a damn mooch who sees me as a meal ticket. I'm not your mom. It would be creepy if I was.
*A pedant. I screw up. A lot. Despite being intelligent, I make a lot of stupid mistakes and I don't need anyone ruining my self-esteem by going "omg, hahaha, you used which when clearly it was a time you should use THAT. Obviously your writing is below adequacy!" Take the stick outta your bum, then we'll talk.
What would make me happy, but I don't expect to get it: Someone who'll sit and deal with all the stupid projects I do and give me feed back. Like... what Kelsey does for me. Only with sex too...and not Kelsey. Sorry Kelsey.
Aside from that, I'm not sure. A lot of what I do and don't want is so internalized that I don't even really notice it. Despite what I've typed, I have pretty high standards. I've yet to meet anyone who fills those standards enough to be interesting yet.
