When I was 25 and just getting over a break up, my friend and I each wrote lists of 100 qualities we would like to have in our future mates. The list is provided below. It is definitely good for a few laughs. Almost like looking at an old journal entry. Many of the criteria were written in direct response to the relationship I was just getting out of, but some of them just reflect my personality. Lots of my criteria have changed as I have grown into myself and my values grown and changed too, but many have stayed the same as the core of me remained steadfast! Enjoy!
