Ten On Tuesday - Thanks Carole!

I finally signed up for the reminder, and perhaps I'll get this done before I read Carole's from now on?

My 10 Traits You Look for in a Romantic Interest are as follows (and realize there's no one filling the bill these days, so this list is open to change!):
1. Is Intelligent - I don't care about IQ, I care about the ability to think and...
2. Has the ability to communicate with words and full sentences (a grunt or nod just won't cut it) - enjoys conversation, too, about a lot of things, not just what happened at work.
3. Not afraid to hold hands in public - in short, something of a romantic.
4. Is perfecting willing to indulge in his own fascinations/passions and allow me mine (i.e. knitting, sewing...) - I'll stay home and knit, he can head to the golf course (or whatever)
5. Has a good sense of humor, but not one that's crass - you know?
6. Loves opera, the symphony, the theatre, and yes, even ballet
7. Doesn't mind stopping at yarn shops and fabric stores
8. Thinks the best way to "win/woo" me is with flowers, dinner out with a good red wine, a back rub (hmm...probably right)
9. Shares my political and religious beliefs (because I don't wanna fight anymore)
10. Loves to cook (or alternatively enjoys trying new restaurants). (Guess why?)
