My Perfect Mate

What is perfect? What's perfect for you may not be perfect for the next person. There is nobody in this world that is perfect. To quote Robin Williams in the movie Good Will Hunting, "You're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense, this girl you've met she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other." What are the qualities that you look for in a perfect mate? Well of course everybody wants somebody that is considered beautiful, so what else is there? Now I'm in no hurry to find my perfect mate but if I was I would want somebody who is intelligent, trustworthy, caring and has good moral values.

My perfect mate would have a good level of intelligence. No I'm not looking for a genius but someone who is well-educated and can talk about different issues going on in the world. I need someone I can trust to handle the financial situations and other important things in our lives. If she is very intelligent then she would likely have a good paying job. That means we would be pretty financially stable and be able to afford some of the nicer things we would like to own.

Trust is the key to any relationship. If you don't have trust then your relationship will not last very long. So my perfect mate must have trust in me and visa versa. If she tells me she's going over her friend's house or is working late then I don't want to have any doubt that's exactly what she is doing. If I want to go out and hang out with the guys one night she wouldn't have any problem with it.

I would also look for someone who is caring and loving. If I had a bad day at work or wasn't feeling good she would do her best to cheer me up. No matter what was going wrong in my life at the moment she would be there for me. She'd also have to have respect and love for my family as well as hers. If she doesn't care for my family chances are she doesn't care for me too much either.

Finally, I want a mate with good ethical and moral values. I don't want a mate that has slept with the whole town. I'd hope that she had saved herself for the one that she married. If she doesn't have good morals then how can I trust her making financial transactions with our money? I also need to trust her with our kids.
