My significant other, and everything in between...

This is a subject that has been coming up and it is something I've been thinking about. If it's meant to be then it will be, if not... I have the "ideal" situation for a significant other in my head as well as his "ideal" character. My ideals for a significant other change as I change. I'm sure they won't be the same a year from now as what they are currently, and now are totally different from what they were a year ago. I don't want to start with physical attributes, so let's start with generally what I'd like. The biggest thing I could want for my "ideal" man is to be able to get along with my friends. That's the biggest thing... Even at this point I'm sitting here staring at the screen for about five minutes thinking what else I could want and I'm totally drawing a blank. I could think of a million situations of how a perfect time would be but I think it's not the situation but the person/people (significant others and friends alike) that make the moment. I heard a joke a while back about a man that was searching for the perfect woman and he found women of all types and the joke goes on to explain some of the types he ran across until he finally found the perfect woman and the friend that he's telling the story to asks him what happened and he replies with, "it didn't work out, turns out she was looking for the perfect man." Even though it was just a joke it sticks out in my head. I'm physically attracted to guys of all shapes and sizes; and ages for that matter. I'm not really attracted to men of color (though it has happened, and I'm sure will happen again). Love is a strong word and I think can even have a jumping off point from a luke warm feeling. I have all the time in the world to find this guy or for him to find me. Until then, I will not hold a guy up to what I feel is perfect because that's limiting myself. I can still dream though.. :) When the time is right it'll happen. That.. and it's probably worth waiting for...
