| 1. Describe an interest you
have that you would truly hope your partner could share
with you. |
1. In general, how many nights a week
do you go out for entertainment? What sorts of
things do you like to do when you go out on the town? |
| Exploring/experiencing new places - whether
it's trying a new restaurant or traveling to new places. |
It depends on my partner in crime. I typically
go out with my friends one or two nights a week (hey,
I'm single!?!?!?). I enjoy going out for a simple
dinner, then a movie perhaps. Nonetheless I enjoy
just hanging out at home sometimes & cooking a
nice meal & watching a movie... |
| 2. What is the most adventuresome thing
you've done in the past year? |
2. What is the most spontaneous thing
you have ever done? |
| Snow boarding. And I have the scar to
prove it. |
Without getting vulgar :-) The most spontaneous thing
I've ever done is decide to go to Indonesia after going
on a two week trip to the Maldives. Fortunately I had
a few friends that met up with me in Singapore &
had a great time! (Surfing, sun, different culture &
more!) |
| 3. What do you think are the three best
traits you have to offer a partner? |
3. What do you think are the three best
traits you have to offer a partner? |
| I'm a great listener, sense of humor,
kindness, even-tempered (I know I listed 4 instead of
3...is that a bad thing?!) |
1) Sense of humor - I'm all about having a good
time, I mix well with others. If you like quick witted
people to help make you laugh, look no further ;-)
2) Organized/neat - I'm not over the top, but I'm
definitely into things being clean/tidy. I'd also
like for my partner to be neat as well.
3) Very confident/optimistic - A lot of people tend
to look at the bad/evil, I tend to look for the good/fun!
Life is to short, I'm all about enjoying it while
you're here! |
