What am I looking for?
If you are trying to figure out why I dislike dating and think that asking me what I am looking for will help you are mistaken. I know tons of people who date in tons of ways and who are looking for very different things and you know what they all hate it. The shidduch system is not to blame, the secular system is not to blame. My pickiness or lack there of is not to blame. Dating is hard, Period.
That being said, here is my perfect (or not so perfect) guy in a nutshell:
He has to be a sincere, open minded, open hearted guy, with somewhat of a personality and somewhat of an intelligent mind. He must love Yiddishkiet and strive to grow in some way or another. He can't be one of those people who looks to bend halacha to fit his needs but tries to live the other way around. He does not need major money (but a job or job prospect would be nice), movie star good looks or the mind of a rocket scientist. He needs a sense of humor of some sort (though all guys think they are funny and most aren't). He needs to love children. He need not live in Ny or aspire to do so. It would be nice if he wanted to give E"Y a try.
Basically I want a guy who is more appreciative than cynical. More mature than adolescent (not just in years). More forgiving than fault finding. And more aspiring then settling.
That being said, I want a human, not and I know we are all far from perfection. I really just want someone compatible with me (cause good on paper is only good to till you meet), which is hard to explain to those of you who don't know me but obvious to those of you who do. Hope that helps, let me know, k?
Have a great night children.

Go Flairrah, go! Wow, for not being able to just "answer on the spot" that was pretty good! Please note the lack of Yeshiva names and "types." I'm impressed! Btw, have you been around recently? Haven't seen you for a bit... ;-)

Sass dear is that you?
I am all over, but mostly in brooklyn, if it is you havn't seen you either. Of course I leave out all the types I don't believe in them. You know that.

So what does a guy do if he thinks he might meet you description?

conntact my dating agent but I don't date anonymous blog stalkers, I need a name at the least.

Tehe, Flairrah, it's me, you guessed it! Been lurking but haven't signed in a while...wowee has your blog become popular or what?!? I know you left out the types on purpose and I was merely sending your blog-readers' attention to that point. If any of them wants to date you based on your blog I can't blame them...just let them know that they haven't even scratched the surface of what a gem you are! Come visit if you've got time, or if not, keep blogging...I love reading up on ya...;-)

"tastic" is right. you never really know. it could be a date, a shidduch, an internet thing like sawyouatsinai or frumster, or even a fellow blogger! but sooner or later we know and we go for it.
sometimes we have to be picky and sometimes we gotta be like what the heck, why not. We don't know how Hashem plans things, and one of of those "why not!"'s seem to be working for me right now, maybe you should try and just go for it.
Who says anyone has to know and who says you need to tell them in the first place. It could be your and his own special secret.
If your not doing much now anyway, so then just go for it. what do you have to loose?

If I could decribe in detail what I am looking for I would have found him, cause I don't think I will know specifics till I find him. And tastic, your description is as general as mine.

Tastic-you have my email address (hint hint)

Sass, do you have internet? cause if you do I am coming over to visit more often. Just joking, actually I have not seen you in a while and would love to get together but I can't find your number, so call me. K? Will be in baltimore for shabbos, so I will send regards to your cousins, even the annoying one you introduced to my fam.

i'd figure with all those job and graduate school postings, being a blogger, you might be interested in this: CUNY Graduate School of Journalism,

also, these maybe interesting
Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Hunter College
http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/creativewriting/degree.shtml
or visit their English Dept. homepage http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/%7Eenglish/
Also you should know, that f you'd like to go to israel, they are always in need of English teachers, and it is very easy to find part-time jobs to work at while raising a family and running a home, and if you are interested you can always pursue creative writing and freelance journalism on the side.

Now, now, that surely won't do. We're not trying to make decisions for anyone, just commenting when we notice certain trends. That is all.
