Awwwwwwww, sounds like he's a keeper. While the big gestures are nice, they don't happen all that often. I think it's a lot more thoughtful to do the little things consistently.

I thought of a couple of other things I'd like:
He doesn't necessarily have to be a pillar of emotional support, but I don't want to hear "I'm burned out on listening to other people's problems" either. That gives me the impression that I'm going to have to watch every word that comes out of my mouth for fear of sounding needy. (The Buddhist guy told me that the other day. He worked in a halfway house over 20 years ago and now he doesn't want to listen to anyone else's problems).

I'm not looking for a new dad for my kids, but I don't want to have to pretend that my kids don't exist at all either. I want someone who's willing to do things as a "family" as well as wanting to do things as a couple.
