If you build it they will come

Patti says-
“What is your type? What do you value in a partner?
A fun and provocative way to get started with this is to take fifteen minutes to make a list of your most recent boyfriends, not listing more than five. Write down their top five assets- the things that really attracted you to them in the first place and made you stay with them as long as you did. Then list their five worst traits- the things that drove you crazy, that made you break up with them, or want to punch them, or kill them, or both. “
My lists (in no particular order):
BF 1
Likes: cuddles, in shape, did nice little things, had good friends and hobbies, loves work
Dislikes: not an open communicator, didn’t seem like he wanted to know me, bad taste in music, not as socially aware, not very passionate.
BF2
Likes: loved work, non-traditional, passionate, funny (I can only name four….not a good sign)
Dislikes: always late, smelly, no follow through, dirty, wouldn’t settle down (why did I date this guy?)
BF3
Likes: cute, sexy, disciplined, smart, consistent
Dislikes: too rigid with routines, wouldn’t settle down, not very many friends or hobbies
BF4
Likes: sweet, loving, unconditional, smart, accommodating
Dislikes: door mat, needy, didn’t floss

So, if I build what I want, will he come? Is the Field of Dreams right? If I build it he will come….
Likes: smart, physically fit, passionate, consistent, sweet
Dislikes: smelly, antisocial, won’t settle down, uninterested

  1. Just curious...was BF1 the oldest or most recent?

  2. You are correct. BF1 is the most recent. Is it that obvious?

  3. In that case, BF2 had dental issues as well. Put that down as a negative! Yeah, why did you date that guy?
