I've started compiling my most magical man list. I was chatting with a friend recently about dating, finding a man and sticking to principles. What's more important - a man that doesn't smoke or one who does but can carry a conversation? Why should I have to settle? Why am I not entitled to both! I am!
We got to talking about the book The Most Magical Man List about a woman who sets out to find love by writing up her list of characteristics that she most desires and won't compromise on. Could she find a guy that held all the qualities she sought? Was it worth a second or third date if a majority of the list was lacking?
That conversation got me thinking - what would my most magical man list look like? Looking back at all my exes - what qualities would I keep? I know which ones I don't want, obviously. I started compiling my list - its easier than I thought, when I actually sat down and started thinking about it. I did feel a little like Jane and Michael Banks though. Should I put them to song and sing about …y most magical man - after all, when they did it they ended up with the perfect Nanny. Surely if it worked for the kids in Mary Poppins it would work for me, right?
Well, I don't know that I will be putting it into song anytime soon, but I have a good list going now, and every once in a while I find myself adding a quality or characteristic to it. Now to find a man that has a majority or all of those qualities!
