What do people say they like about you? People have positively described me as nice, sweet, smart,peaceful, strong (emotionally and mentally) and cheerful

What characteristics do you dislike in a person? Arrogance, cruelty, selfishness, dishonesty, negativity, the inability to take anything seriously, immaturity.
And now for a very open-ended question. What is love?
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

THE MATCH
Is he/she...(explain if you'd like, it's not always black and white, so gray is allowed)
Serious or playful? Serious, but not humorless or without his playful moments.
Quiet or talkative? Slightly more talkative, to balance my quiet nature. But not to the point of completely dominating a conversation; he needs to be able to listen as well.
Leader or follower? Able to lead when necessary. But willing to follow when there is somebody more capable and qualified.
Kind-hearted or tough-minded? Kind-hearted, but not to the point of being a pushover or unable to make difficult decisions.
Dominant or submissive? Neither. Our relationship should be one of equals. I don't want somebody who is going to walk all over me, or would let me walk all over him.
Traditional or unconventional? Probably traditional.
Planned or improvised? Planned, mostly. He should take the time to think things through.
Controlled or impulsive? Controlled. He thinks before he speaks, acts, etc.
Calm or energetic? Mostly calm. I couldn't keep up with a very energetic person, and he would quickly become bored with me.
Optimistic or pessimistic? Somewhere in the middle. Definitely not somebody who's a complete pessimist- that would be too depressing. I've had enough experience with negative whiners while growing up, thank you very much. However, he should be realistic, not optimistic to the point of ridiculousness.
Realistic or idealistic?Realistic. He needs to have a good head on his shoulders.
Secretive or open?Open. Trust and honesty are important in a relationship.
Mature or immature?Mature. Though not without an occasional goofy moment ;)
Compassionate or just? Why can't he be both?
Confident or modest? Both. Has faith in himself and his abilities, but isn't an arrogant braggart.
Outgoing or shy? Maybe a little more outgoing, to balance out my shyness. I need somebody who will help me open up and try new things.
THE RELATIONSHIP
What's your ideal first date? I'm honestly not too picky. Dinner and something fun, like a movie or the symphony. Or perhaps the zoo or a museum. Of course, we would spend time talking and getting to know each other better.
Describe your dream house. Hmm...I really don't have a dream house. If it's spacious, comfortable, and in a safe, quiet neighborhood, I'm happy.
What's one thing that's absolutely necessary in a healthy relationship? Respect. Love and everything else will stem from that.
IN STAR TREK
If you couldn't date a human for some strange, odd reason, which species (Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan, Borg, Ferengi, etc) would you choose to date instead and why?
Definitely a Vulcan. I would enjoy spending time with such an intellectual,calm, logical person. And most importantly, they have pointy ears ;)
I would, however, consider dating a Klingon on one condition: He must be Worf.
If given the chance to live anywhere in the universe, what sort of planet would you live on?
A planet similar to Earth. It would have great diversity in landscapes: lots of forests, mountains, deserts, etc. Also, politically stable, please. I would prefer not to die or watch other people suffer and die in some crazy, senseless war.
What are some of your favorite pairings in Star Trek and why are you a fan of them?
Picard/Crusher (TNG)- They had good chemistry, and I enjoyed the little hints in the series that there was something more to their feelings for each other.
Riker/Troi(TNG)- Do I really need to explain this? ;)
Spock/Uhura (Reboot)- Two intelligent people in an obviously loving, mature relationship. What's not to like?
For my own amusement, make up a Star Trek-esque pickup line. Really. Give it a try.
Umm....no :P
