1. Intelligence is highly important.
2. Use of that intelligence is highly important. I want someone I can talk to.
3. I wouldn't mind a fellow gamer.
4. Physically, I'm looking for a short girl (because I'm short - 5' 4'', currently :confused:) with long, dark hair. Race isn't a concern and I do like girls on the slim side. I don't want this person to be a twig who starves themself, but I would like someone who has a healthy weight and body shape. I can't describe facial characteristics I like as I don't know what they are, really. I'm not incredibly picky on specific things... or at least not conciously, anyway. I just know when I find someone's face attractive, so the knowing of why doesn't matter too much, to me.
5. This person would, preferably, share very similar interests (biology, history, I already mentioned gaming, if possible, similar musical and culinary interests, etc.).
6. This person would have to be the one to ask me out.
Really, though, I'm far too shy of a person to initiate conversation with strangers and... how do people meet other people they end up dating, anyway, while we're on the topic of initiating conversation with strangers? How do you know which strangers to initiate conversation with if all these mental characteristics are something one cannot see? You can't possibly ask out every girl you find physically attractive... and so many girls seem to already have boyfriends. It seems as though getting rejected would be a very awkward experience and I have to wonder how people become friends at all, in the first place. How do possible couples meet? :huh:
