Hi. I followed the link in Karen's siggy and ended up here :)
I've been thinking about dating, about what I would look for in a man etc. Some say you should write out a list of likes and dislikes in order to determine what would make a suitable date. The theory is that if you find yourself dating someone who doesn't have the traits on the list, it should be a red flag. Has anyone done this? Does it even sound feasible? LOL
I guess the idea appeals to me because I do have a history of getting involved with unhealthy people and being so enamored with them that I ignore the shortcomings. (codependent, as they say) Now, being in the process of divorce, I am much more jaded and wonder if taking a more hard-core approach to the terms of acceptable dates is realistic.

Hi!

Okay, here are my red flags, which I ignore time and time again! Mind you, I'm a successful woman making 6 figures with my own home and a bimmer and a winter car. However I always end up breaking a few of my own rules.
1) Job
2) Driver's License
3) Vehicle
4) No prison record
5) Not living with parents
Sounds reasonable enough, right? Are these rediculously high standards? I think not!!! Be stronger than me and don't settle for less than 4 out of the 5! :)
I hope you have better luck with your list
