@Cygan Angel I didn't find asexuality strange just that you were looking for that in a partner, but again it's wiki tropes so that's pretty normal around here.

You find it strange that an asexual girl would like a asexual partner?

Actually, forget what I just said earlier.

I just want someone who'll put up with my shit and give me a shoulder to cry on, and allow me to do the same thing in return. Sexual relations, appearance, none of that matters. The above, and a personality that complements mine, the same way mine complements theirs. That's all I want.

Though I doubt I'll ever get it.

Well, seeing as most of the people here are single, wouldn't that mean we have no grass at all, green or otherwise?

Be not afraid...

Obviously it's not a binary situation but I couldn't think of a metaphor to reflect that oh I don't know >:O

@Cygan Angel No.

Let's see female,someone who is at the least around my level of attractiveness, slightly nerdy,18 years old and hasn't had that many partners.

Well, let's see.

  • Female (let's start with the basics, yes?);
  • Adult (as above);
  • Younger than 35 years or so (dunno about the precise cutoff, it probably varies);
  • Ambitious (not in the "money and power" sense, or not in that alone. But she should want to accomplish something with her life, and be willing to work hard to achieve it);
  • Intelligent (I would not particularly care about her formal education level, though);
  • Not in need of near-constant reassurance;
  • Genuinely likes me (duh);
  • Does not work in my same area - some couples of my colleagues do, and they never stop talking business...
  • Does not need loud noises and parties to be entertained - once in a while is fine, and I can even enjoy that, but not if it is a near-daily occurrence;
  • Is not vegetarian;
  • Has a belief system which is compatible with mine;*
  • Is willing to postpone sex for the time being;*
  • Thinks that Bowties Are Cool tongue (OK, I may be willing to compromise on this, if I really, really have to ;) )

It... it may just be possible that my standards are a little too strict...

[up][up] I've met quite a few girls that fit most of those - however, there's a big sampling bias there tongue Plus, some are taken.

Perfect lover traits... Hmm...

  • A good sense of humor is encouraged. The ability to not kill me over bad puns and silly shenanigans is a must.
  • Must have an interest in sex, without being afraid of trying new things and exploring kinks.
  • Preferably sorta old-fashioned in romancing. I want a guy who's willing to pay for the date, open doors for me, and be somewhat protective.
  • Have a sense of empathy. I've had a pretty shitty life, and I have issues. I need someone who's able to be a shoulder to cry on when stuff comes up, and be supportive while helping me move past it.
  • Not be a pussy. I'm looking at you ex-boyfriend. Don't make me feel guilty because you can't get me off. Sitting on the edge of the bed and crying because you've "failed me" will only make me angry. Also, be able to take constructive criticism without acting like a five year old. If I'm talking about problems, it means that they're things that we need to fix, not things that you get to whine about until I stop bringing it up. Likewise, if I'm doing something that irritates the shit out of you, tell me! Don't assume that I'm telepathic, especially if you lie and tell me that nothing's wrong when something is. I hate that.
  • Not be shallow. I like you for who you are, and I'd like it if you returned the favor. By all means, encourage me to be better, but make sure that you're encouraging me to be what I want, not what you want. I'll do the same for you. Deal?
  • Cannot be overly jealous. I can't deal with possessive men. They drive me up the wall.
  • Have something interesting to talk about. Sorry dude, but if I'm feeling awkward and looking forward to being elsewhere by the end of the date, I'm not going to stick around very long.
  • Want to do fun stuff sometimes. I'm pretty easy to please, but if you can't be more creative than "go out for dinner then come home and possibly sex" then I'm going to get bored. Especially if I'm the one that's always suggesting date ideas, and you keep turning them down. I like going out and seeing new things, and trying different activities. It's easy, seriously! Just take me to a nice park that I've never been to before! Lets spend the day in a different city and just walk around and oggle the nifty old buildings! Lets go for a hike, or go swimming, or fishing, or camping. There are museums that I haven't been to, trails I haven't explored, aquariums to visit, zoos to peruse, photos to take. Anything to break the monotony of endless dinner-and-a-movie type dates!
  • And most importantly, we have to be able to get along, and I need to be able to trust him. I'm not going to stick around with someone that make me want to claw my face off after spending a long amount of time with them. Same goes for someone who can't tell me the truth, and the next guy to drop me for someone else is getting punched in the dick.

Someone who'll push me into new experiences, and with whom I can have long rambling conversations about absolutely nothing. Someone whom I feel not only that I can open up to, but whom I know will get it when I do.

Oh, and she has to have a positive outlook on life.

You're an ad hominem attack!

[up][up][up] Yeah, it's not an impossible combination - but it is not an incredibly common one, either, and then there is the matter that I should be a close enough approximation of their own ideal.

Eh, if it is meant to happen it will eventually do so.

Thanks for the tip, though - if I ever end up in Australia, I'll be sure to ask you for possible suggestions tongue.

Basically, something close to my current boyfriend, but without all the anxiety, and talks a little less.

Banned entirely for telling FE that he was being rude and not contributing to the discussion. I shall watch down from the goon heavens.

This, really. Not asking for much.

Of course, that's something of a lie, but it's still built around a grain of truth.
