None Smoking.. Spontaneous... meaning whenever ... someone who can go for hours and hours and hours... a respectful loving man, who remembers what type of coffee I like and that I don't take sugar.

Someone who can stand up to people who are sneaky and manipulative. And someone who looks good, in 7 years there has been only 3.. one tall bald guy in CA who was good looking but not boyfriend material, he was a contractor. Then there was another here in Jersey well I wont go there but nice tall blonde - flirts a little non smoker but has the wedding ring on his finger ... and then well.. the cute detective seems sweet! Other then that.. nope, to big of an EGO too little of a brain!

The top traits that I look for in a man (in order of importance) are:
Trustworthy
Honesty
Respectful
Thoughtful
Good Sense of Humor
Similar Faith
Good Work Ethic (I look at what and how long he's worked, and what his views are on employment. If he can't keep a job, or quits his jobs...it's no go for me.)
Oh...I have more!

Someone who seeks balance in life, likes his mom, has friends, treats people with respect, is not arrogant, is positive, trusting, smart, has goals, and is affectionate. oh yeah, and does not have addictions to alcohol, drugs, work, etc!! oh yeah, and someone who does not have a big ego or is macho.

Has a positive, balanced nature. At peace with life and has learned from past mistakes. Highly intelligent and insightful. Curious, humorous and analytical. Allows the child in them to come out, but prefers the adult ego to be in control most of the time. Patient, listens well - doesn't need to talk incessantly. Monogamous, sexually charged, compassionate and truthful. Views life for the most part as an interesting, learning experience.
