RE: Steve's latest entry: darkush.blogspot.com/2008/08/when-lover-is-ready.html
Something I have problems with is getting specific or putting into words my 'picture'. Hell, even if I know someone, I have trouble describing that person to a friend, though I have a 'feel' for how different people I know differ for one another.
Maybe if people posted their lists that would help--I'd certainly be interested in seeing Steve's.

I no longer have the list, but I can reconstruct it approximately:

1) Highly intelligent
2) Ambitious and successful (within her field--she could have been a successful kindergarten teacher!)
3) beautiful
4) Giving and open-hearted
5) Physically fit and athletic--loves to move
6) Emotionally healthy
7)Sensuous and very sexual
8) spiritual
9) Funny and entertaining to be with
##
If I remember correctly, that was approximately what was on my list. As a result of my willingness to become the kind of man who could have such a woman, I got everything I asked for--plus two things I had never even considered.
In addition to the above, Tananarive is also
1) a writer
2) black
##
The first is important because she has become my life partner in every way. The second is important in that there are a whole range of life experiences I don't have to try to explain to her--and such explanations can be tiring and frustrating. She "gets it."
