A guy who runs the last few miles of the New York marathon at my side to give me the motivation to keep going, but lets me cross the finish line myself.
A guy who watches me while I sleep and thinks his heart might explode if he loved me any more, not knowing that I do the same thing and feel the same way about him.
A guy who laughs endlessly at me for crying during America's Next Top Model when the mean, bitchy girl lets her guard down and finally shows her "human" side, but secretly thinks it is adorable.
A guy who brings me a disposable raincoat for the Yankee game since he was smart enough to listen to the weather report and I was not.
A guy I can feel safe showering with kisses or putting my head on his shoulder, knowing that he won't shoo me away.
A guy who will laugh when my niece and nephew bring up bowel movements during a holiday dinner.
A guy who might not admit it often, but needs me.
A guy who I, more than anyone else, can make feel better when he is sad.
A guy who thinks nothing less of me because my father is a compulsive liar and a narcissistic, self-absorbed thief.
A guy to whom I want to give the last piece of my favorite salmon avocado roll.
A guy who might not sing well and who might not enjoy being the center of attention, but could be inspired to sing a song to me at a karaoke bar just one time.
A guy whose kiss actually makes my legs shake.
It's the way the twinkle in his eyes sparkles brightest when he looks at me. It's the way his wink from across the room sets the butterflies in my stomach in flight, and it's the way the soft brush of his hand on my shoulder as he passes my chair makes me blush in anticipation of what his touch will do to me later.
HE is the guy with whom I want to be paired in the soap opera I call my life, and it is those things above which, at least for me, will catapult us from simply being "a cute couple" to "super couple" status.
Not withstanding my hopelessly romantic aspirations, I am not so naive as to think real life couples can or should be compared to soap opera "super couples" . Although it is what I want, I think I can be happy with a man who does not meet ALL of the above criteria, as long as he meets some. I do, however, hope that preparing this list and keeping it in a safe place (my heart) will help prevent me from wasting too much time and emotions on a man who meets NONE of them.

Will do! I just hope that WHEN I find him, I won't be too blind to SEE him.

When you find him, ask if he's got older sisters please ?

Wow, I can't think of a single thing I would add! That was beautiful, Meredith. I like the way you think. Am compiling a "Man Plan" of my own, thanks to your post! We're supposed to put what we want in a mate out there for the Universe with specifics, right? Well done!

Read your post four times in a row and I'm blown away. I believe that if you really want something you can count on getting it, it's just a matter of time before it manifests. It becomes difficult when we know exactly what we want, kinda narrows the avenues, doesn't it? Enjoy the journey and don't settle for less than the "weak knees" feeling :-)
