QOTW- Aug 29 08

We constantly talk about what we're looking for or will put up with in a partner, so I thought we'd turn it around a little bit:

What do you bring to the table in a relationship- what makes YOU a good catch?

Hey Ali. I would love to read your answer to your own QOTW as well.

I will quote a friend about me: "Markle Sparkle, you are the full meal deal – good looking, introspective, smart, funny, sexy and fun." Plus several years ago I did an exercise from one of those books on Shadow (a Jungian concept) and asked people (male and female) who know me to tell me what are my strong, positive attributes. Most people were not comfortable about telling me about my shadow/negative ones. I still have that list.

I work on being authentic and in integrity. This means being aligned with what is going on inside (emotionally and core values) with my outside behavior – words and deed. I work on living my spiritual values, i.e. Compassionate, accepting, kind, and living from my heart as well as with a sense of fun and joy. I am a great listener and have a high emotion quotient (EQ). I am willing to try different and new things, willing to risk but also know myself on what I do and do not want. I don't sweat the small stuff for life is short and too precious to focus on what is not important in the whole, grand scheme of things. I've been told I'm funny and have a nice sense of humor as well as intelligent.

I also have been told that I indeed "dance as if no one was watching."

As I told my single guy friend,after reading things here about women's ex's; we don't have a criminal record, we have good jobs,we have our own homes, and we are not pathological liars so we must be good catches yes?

I work hard. I work to maintain the relationship, to maintain the house, maintain myself both physically and emotionally, to earn good money and to have fun. Example: to get RG to kayak with me I loaded up the kayaks and gear, made the lunch and drove to the lake. All he had to do was meet me at the lake with a pair of shorts and a t shirt to kayak in. I did all the work.

I love to discuss topics of various types. The boring topics, the heated topics, the goofy silly useless topics. Whatever floats your boat, I enjoy talking about. But I'm not all talk- as I have lots of quiet moments too. Don't HAVE to jabber on, even though I can. ;-)


I love sex. I like being the crazy sex kitten in private while being the responsible one in public. Keeps things exciting, keeps the man on his toes, keeps the man (and me!) happy physically.


I am flexible when it comes to a sudden change in plans. As long as it doesn't require things like tickets or travel plans where there is an outside limit to a certain time frame, I'm very flexible to spontaneity. When it comes to the set time frames- I can be pretty strict. But if you are one of those "on time" people... you can rely on me to be on time.


I am a loyal friend, I am a generous friend. And once you are a friend, you are a friend for life, even if our paths might not cross often. I don't require constant contact to consider someone a friend, as I know life gets in the way- but life can't take away memories of friendships.


I am open and accepting. I am stable, smart, fun, funny... I don't do drama and jealousy.
