Over the last few weeks I have been thinking of partners and relationships. Mine mostly finish before they start properly. There is a small band of men that I have had half-relationships with, but really only one that I would count as a 'proper' boyfriend, and that was years'n'years ago, and he was a freak.
Anyway, I have been thinking about what it would be like to have a boyfriend. For a while I could only picture him as a really little man so that I could lock in a cupboard when he started to get on my nerves, but I know this is unrealistic.
I decided to make a list of ideal traits that my imaginable boyfriend would have. Here it is so far:
1 - A little older than me (35-40ish - maybe a wee bit older than that, I have to keep an open mind)
2 - Must be independent and non-clingy (I only want to see him Friday or Saturday night and maybe on night in the week). Plus maybe one Euro city break and one 10-day holiday per year, and I may consider Christmas with him if he has an Aga.
3 - Must live close, but not too close. Maybe somewhere on the 38 or 55 bus route. Clerkenwell would be nice, but I'd be happy with Essex Road, and actually would even sink to Dalston for the right man.
4 - He must have hair. His own. On his head.
5 - He'll have to think it OK/normal to sleep with a cat, and to talk in a baby voice about kissing a kitten's belly.
6 - He'll have a dull, yet very well paid job (and be generous).
7 - Must have a car. A bigger car than mine (which means that he'll always be the one doing the driving). Ideally I would like him to have a Saab convertible, but he'll think this a little flashy. Maybe if his job was really dull but REALLY well paid, he'd buy me a Saab...
8 - Be nice if he wore glasses and a Hawaiian shirt, but I think he'll be too dull for that. I can buy him Hawaiian shirts for his birthday and he can put them in his wardrobe and not wear them.
9 - It might be nice if he was really into boats, or some other macho nerdy thing. Golf maybe. I could pretend to take an interest.
10 - He must have the same size shoes as me so I can borrow.
Of course I know I’ll never meet Mr.100% Right. I think he only has to have 7 out of these 10 points as I have to be realistic. Any suggestions where I can meet him?
Maybe I should just get another cat...

Ok I am responding on behalf of smileserena. We have a friend in common. Here are his details.
1. Age: 37
2. Yep.
3. Fails on this one. Lives far away but loves to commute.
4. Yep. Dark hair with a small bald spot.
5. Don't know. Generally an animal lover and particularly likes goats and ducks but I don't think he sleeps with either.
6. Yes on both counts.
7. Audi GT?
8. Yes to glasses. No to Hawaiian shirts.
9. Gardening?
10. Size 12.
You go spend a weekend with serena and check out your options.
oh my gosh, he is an 8/10!
He only fails on the commute (buty he has an Audi GT so who wouldn't love the drive), and his feet are 4 sizes too big!!
But he lives in beautiful Pembrokeshire.
Yes, his feet are rather large.
It's a TT not a GT but nonetheless....
Come visit!!!
I would love weekends in Pembrokeshire twice a month.
Yes, his feet are HUGE!
An Audi TT does it for me.
I'm *so* visiting.
Go for it you can then drive me to Pembrokeshire in your Saab, and drop me off at my parents on the way. helps of course if it's North Pembrokeshire. | |
