I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
when I had an eharmony account, anyone that I agreed to an initial date with would get at least 3 dates if:
- they asked for at least every other date - they did not make me feel physically unsafe - they did not offend me
lowest standards ever and I only had a third date with 1 guy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think potentially misleading red flags could be looks, or other physical characteristics; job and income; interests; beliefs; sophistication and education. I think wanting to spend time with the other person is a non-negotiable, real red flag. Most of the other stuff you will get over if the latter is there.

Always Anti-fascist!
I would love a partner, but I don't think I could ever trust someone who would pick me if they had ANY other choice.(Mostly, people don't, you know.) And like, what's most attractive? The sarcastic attitude, the joblessness, the assloads of debt, or the way I always have to have help around? Yeah, that's hot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Helicopter flight was a success: I got to sit in the copilot's seat. What I learned: helicopters are really frelling loud and there's no graceful way to get in and out of them. I had to wear a survival suit over my clothes, and I'm so glad it fit! Pity about the view, though: it was mostly grey and overcast, so we didn't see as much awesome scenery as I would have liked. But the guys were awesome, and I'd love to go again some time.
That sounds awesome! What was it for? Just fun? My grandmother did a helicopter ride for one of her big birthdays, and loved it. And wanted to set up the pilot with one of us granddaughters.
I just totally blew off a meeting with my boss, and feel awesome about it.
I think wanting to spend time with the other person is a non-negotiable, real red flag. Most of the other stuff you will get over if the latter is there.
And this has always been my criterion for a next date: Am I interested in spending another couple of hours with the person?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are we sure this is really Friday, and not Monday? It sure feels like a Monday.

In theory I would like to be in a relationship. In practice... I think I want to be in a relationship with someone who lives in another state. Not a neighboring state, either.
I think LD relationships are as much as I'm capable of.

Am I interested in spending another couple of hours with the person?
Exactly! That's really the only thing on my "list." Aside from "isn't married/doesn't have a girlfriend/isn't gay."
Those are the things that always trip me up though. Man doesn't exist as far as I can tell. Or, if he does, he's not interested in me.
