"Date"ability

Just out of the blue, these thoughts. I don't think I'd ever date a guy who...

1) isn't chivalrous and a gentleman.

2) doesn't speak/spell good English. Mean, I know. But. It just gets on my nerves, reading/hearing bad English.

3) doesn't have a sense of humor. Ugh. I'd rather talk to the wall.

4) doesn't appreciate food.

5) doesn't read. As in, literate-but-don't-like-to-read.

6) isn't on the same wavelength as I am. Communication would be pure torture.

7) doesn't drive. You think I'm materialistic? Wrong. I'm just practical. I can't see myself driving my date.

8) can't carry a decent conversation with me. Like if we have nothing in common. Intellectual stimulation = mucho brownie points!

9) isn't intellectually and emotionally mature.

10) is younger than I am. Not even by months.

11) chews his food loudly/has atrocious table manners.

12) doesn't hold the door open for me or offer to carry any heavy stuff.

13) doesn't make a move to help if I've dropped something, or look like I need help. It doesn't matter that I can handle it myself, it's the thought that counts.

I'm not picky, am I?
