What do you normally look in for a person to date?

Hey guys thought I'll make a light hearted thread. What would you normally look for in a person to date them?

For me they have to be down to earth, funny, kind, caring and at least show an interest in getting to know me.

- Honestly and openness are pretty important to me
- Someone who's spontaneous and up for new things
- Someone who can have a laugh and doesn't take everything too seriously
- The kind of person who I can have fun with no matter where we are or what we're doing
- I like people who break conventions too, sure dinner dates or the movies are nice, but there are so many other fun things to do with someone you're getting to know that a lot of people seem to neglect

-They have to be educated, that's a number 1 for moi.
For example: All A/A*s in GCSE's (they're easy anyway)
-I want a middle class boy, not too posh but not a Brixton estate chav.
-Good looks. 6 pack (I can survive if he has a 4 pack), toned arms.. the whole package basically.
He has to be taller then 5ft10 (I'm 5ft6 if I wanted a short guy I would date a girl).
-He must be confident and funny, I like to have a laugh... I'm that type of extraordinary gal'
-Would love for my baby boy to have a car, I'm not to blame am I? I'm a girl we love money.
Intelligence/cleverness, a good sense of humour, funny without trying too hard, someone who is willing to go out and drink but also have nights in, similar values, good taste in film/books/music, etc.

I am so glad I am nothing like you.

Also, speak for yourself, not all girls LOVE money. It obviously has its uses but love? No.
I hope you find the person that you're looking for and if the are fantastic, great, but if not, maybe find someone that just some of the qualities that you are looking for because you could be missing out on someone great.

I bet you're actually a guy on a female account.

I have my suspicions about imsoacademic as well.

Exactly! Material qualities don't really mean anything

Define 'old school' :smile:
They must have a nice body, but then I wouldnt be dating them if they didnt. I dont work my ass off for mine for girls who dont give a damn about theirs. Seriously, do a sport once a week, problem solved.

As for the date; they must be funny, and the more I feel like we are sucking each other into a tornado of geekish destruction, the better.
