I also think that making hard and fast rules - like knowing all the words to the Rocky Horror soundtrack (with dance moves) should be relaxed. Although come to think of it, he does do a mean Time Warp.
I confess, I'm intrigued. What is on your list, or at least the first third of it? That sounds like a really good idea, actually. You can't reach a goal unless you know what it looks like, right?

34% happy, LOL.

guessing.... here's a start for a generic boyfriend list

If seeker is female:
#1 penis
#2 doesn't like penis
#3 breathing
#4

If seeker is male:
#1 penis
#2 likes penis
#3 breathing
#4

.....

Ok, I'll bite. A little. After re-checking my list I have discovered that my boyfriend fails on one of these first twelve...I guess I can't have it all.

1. Tall
2. Strong
3. Great sense of humor
4. Humble
5. Liberal
6. Spiritual
7. Loves his kids
8. Gentle
9. Sexually adventurous
10. Good kisser
11. Good teeth
12. Doesn’t wear plaid
