Hi Zero,
Nice poll.
It was hard to pick though because I "think" I know what I'd like, but as a friend always tells me, "God won't send you what you want (necessarily), He'll send you what He knows you need." I've also found in life that some people who have qualities I never thought I'd like turned out to be some of the best people for the situation I was facing.
Other things were hard to choose because I'm very middle of the road--if he plays video games, who cares? As long as it doesn't interfere with his everyday life... I don't really mind either way if he's into those kinds of things or not.
And, the old standbys--faithfulness, loyalty, commitment, openness (doesn't keep secrets), and a willingness to pray together about ANYTHING--certainly have to be there as well.

When the time comes for me to be with someone, it's important that he is capable of loving as completely and deeply as I intend to love him, and I would like for him to be all of the things that I am not so that if I am stumbling in some area, he will be strong, and vice versa. To me, this is what it means to be "one" with him...whoever he is...someday
I guess this has been my biggest problem. Its not the qualities that a person possesses which MAKES me love them, it is their capacity to experience the entire spectrum of what Love is. Almost in a sense like the way children see the world is the way I want it to be, where everything means nothing and the slightest nothing means everything. Like when I was throwing mud at the girl I liked in school and if she threw mud back, I knew it was for real.
The stuff the poll talks about is cool and I find it interesting that everyone hates smoking more than anything. Well, that doesn't bug me nearly as much as Ladies who are obsessed with horses.

To me what is most important is honesty and someone who shares my values/morality/religion. Without those two things, how can you hope to make it through problems and struggles together? Without honesty, you can't even know what the problems are or count on anything. Without shared morality, you may not even see the same most basic things as "problems" to begin with.
