I'm thinking strengths and weaknesses, rather than what I personally find attractive. And man, is this a different kind of dream guy than I've ever imagined . . .
Positives
- Someone practical, a doer
- Someone funny and goofy
- Someone grounded
- Someone confident and assertive
- Someone social, with a knack for glossing things over
- Someone good at cooking (or who likes to cook)
- Someone outdoorsy
- Someone thick-skinned
- Someone math- and science-oriented
- Someone willing to embarrass himself, especially for the amusement of children
- Someone generous with compliments
- Someone handy
- Someone open-minded
- Someone who puts people at ease
- Someone who understands the value of leaving notes
- Someone who likes to drive long distances
- Someone punctual
- Someone who asks for directions
Negatives
- Someone kind of down-to-earth (so I could bring out his imaginative side)
- Someone unorganized (so I could remedy that for him)
- Someone not very introspective or reflective (I'd be reflective enough for both of us)
- Someone a bit impulsive (so I could put my wariness to good use)
- Someone who may or may not drink socially (because I could always be the designated driver)
- Someone not-so-great at public speaking (so I could write or deliver his speeches for him)
- Someone slapdash about grammatical rules (so I could copy edit for him)
- Relatedly, someone all about the big picture (because then I could be the one to obsess over the details)
