like Lionking said - when you least expect it, it will happen. Leave yourself open to chatting anyone up. You never know.
I met my husband (recently married both of us the second time around) as a result of a car wreck!! If the truck hadn't hit me - I would have never taken it to the guy who fixed it and then fixed me up!! Now most would think - how would a body shop owner choose someone with my upbringing and social status (nose up in the air sort of thing). I was open and willing and Wow! seven years later, we are married and great partners for one another.
It is easy to have an agenda and a look that you seek - but think outside of your scope. You may not really know YOUR TYPE. If you find someone who isn't for you, cut it off early and toss the fish back. Do both of yourselves the favor.
It is also much easier to meet someone doing activities you enjoy doing. There is an organization in NYC called social circles that puts activities together for groups of people to meet. It may be national. who knows? They go skydiving and meet at pottery places, go wine tasting etc..
Yup, the cooking one is tough, just about none of them can cook any more.
Wow...I'm just going to laugh at that one!...lol

Again, Wow...lol

I don't think you need to worry about a "cook" as I see you are pretty good at stirring a pot....lol

Cosmic I must congratulate you on your selection methodology but I bet the real issue lies in just trying to get the person to fit into the backpack in the trunk or the bus! LOLLLLL.... (I've been reading for a while ;-) )

Well I do not have to worry about the cooking part as I am / always have been a pretty good cook.
These days I tend to think go for the ugly first then try to fill in the rest of as many blanks as possible. Poor girls can be tough, a good driver with a new car is way up there on the list too.
There is an extra benefit in the method. Most of the other guys will not try to mess around with her too much either. Lot of happy guys with ugly wives, probably never been scientific proven why. Lot of sailors use this method. Never worry about her when they are out to sea.

Well my best lady is a she and always rides in the back which is the trunk laid down. We tend not to take buses much these days.
Is the best lady your four legged companion???
Those ARE the best!
Yup and she is going to be impossible to replace. She can't cook but is super at everything else. And SHE already has been to Oil City, unlike our Mr. NAH.
My mother always told me that there was someone for everyone. But I some times wonder if that's true. I have been single for the last 2 years and I have yet to meet the gal of my dreams.
I did like this one girl but she went and became a minister. So I lost yet another one. I just want a girl who is beautiful, funny, intelligent, creative, spunky, and can cook me a nice supper.
There's nothing wrong with not settling for less than what you want but you have to be realistic. You want someone with all those qualities but what are you bringing to the table? Are you good looking, funny, intelligent, creative, spunky and can cook? If someone was meeting you had a laundry list of what they want, would you pass the test? You might be a great guy, I don't know but if you keep a list like that you will have a hard time meeting and retaining a relationship. Maybe try to meet someone that's a nice person, get to know them and some of that other stuff won't matter. More than likely they will possess other qualities that make up for it.
My ex said he would only marry a woman who can bake good biscuits. I told him to marry my mother.
OMG that made me laugh so hard!!
I love it!
