I really need to slow down on my reading, because that is not how I read it.

"I was a guy once" is what I saw.

Shakes head.

I'd love to be called beautiful all the time, would never get boring for me.

I agree. It's appreciated when it's used out of the blue, but overkill if done all the time. Ditto with sexy and hot, and I begin to think he doesn't actually know my name...

General rule of thumb - if Hallmark can't fit your list on one of their cards than it's not likely realistic to expect.

I was perved by a cabana boy earlier...

instead of worrying about what someone else can offer me, i concentrate on what "I" can do to make "THEM" feel good.

i can only control my input into the relationship and usually good things tend to follow when i do.

i can tell by your overwhelming responses to peoples answers that noone typed what you wanted to see

For most of that, I think there are guys like that out there. You just have to be patient.

That being said, wow there are a lot of bitter people here.

There are guys like that. I found one. But, personally I appreciate the fact that he calls me beautiful, hot AND sexy.

Ha! My ex (in her 40's) *still* does that, to her friends, parents, kids, ad-nauseam.

I don't think people are necessarily being bitter, but
rather honest. I'd say most all of us have had this "list"
of traits we hope to find in "that one" person we want
to spend the rest of our life with and have discovered
it to not be true.

Think about it. A vast majority of folks in the world
have had multiple failed relationships (I'm not just
talking about marriages).

So what you are seeing are folks responding to the
"hope of finding someone who matches the list and
why can that person not be found", especially from
someone so young. People are just voicing their
opinion based on years of experience.

Such a person can be found, it takes time, fortitude & integrity.
Hold tight to your dream, you will be tested.

Sure, they may be honest about what they're saying, but some are sounding extremely bitter. If I met someone I was interested enough to date and they sounded that bitter, I doubt I could handle it for long.

If you hang up on me, you're not getting a call back, that's just plain rude. Now if you put me on hold because you have another call, don't expect me to be there when you wrap things up with them. Putting on hold is a faux pas with me.

Don't hold your breath? It could take a seriously long time to find someone with all those qualities.

Maybe try to worry about what you can bring to the relationship instead?

Good luck! And Welcome!

If a woman hangs up on me, I don't call her back.

She can call me back and apologize. Just as I would do, if I were the one being rude.

And I think guys that stare at women (or vice-versa), while they are sleeping, can be kinda creepy, not romantic.

I think that's nice in a relationship... I don't want to be called that in an email but if I had a man and he did, I would appreciate that he thought that...

ehhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well, even if the unicorn is elusive if you really look for it you might just find one.

Just once I would like to be in a relationship where it was all about me too.
