Sounds to me like you are working through a lot of feelings and ideas here. Pros and Cons if you will. I think that's great! It's nice to have some idea of what you are looking for in a relationship.

I think when the time comes and you meet that someone special, you will know it in your gut. They may or may not be exactly what you are looking for, but you will know if the majority of their personality is a good fit for you and what you are willing to compromise on.

youOme is right about not rushing into a relationship just because a lot of your friends are getting married, buying houses and having babies. Like the old saying goes "if your friends were going to jump off a bridge, would you follow them?".

Because you walk to the beat of your own drummer makes you who you are.....and there is nothing wrong with that. I happen to find uniqueness a wonderful quality in people. I look for the uniqueness in folks

One way to find out more of what you might be looking for is to date different folks. I don't mean by getting involved but casually. It's a wonderful way to help you figure out exactly what you are looking for.

I wish you well in your search for a mate. Be patient with yourself and with that of others.....the time will come when you find what is right for you!
