DOND: Is trying to pay off an extremely large debt
"Trying" is the operative word here. And of course, what is the reason for the debt?


quote:

DOND: He/She has a job where they put their life on the line every day.
Too many dependent outside factors to make a blanket DOND statement. MUCH prayer would need to be involved in this answer.


quote:

DOND: Someone who is critical.
Critical in his behavior towards me and how he speaks to me? I would probably encourage him to look for someone else.



quote:

DOND: Has an occasional rebell against authority streak.
Depends. Rebelling just to rebell is usually not indicative of a mature person. Rebelling because of one's very firmly held prinicples, on the other hand, shows a depth of passion that deserving of respect.






And John . . . just to clarify my last question . . . NOT pliable with her / his opinions; but rather realizing that things aren't always what they appear to be on the surface and realizing that each side of any particular issue should at least be intelligently explored so as to be able to allow one to reach their own decision. "That" kind of nothing is black and white thinking. Clear as mud?






DEFINITELY -or- NOT IN A MILLION YEARS: He / she has very opposite political opinions than you do.

STAY -or- GO: While he / she is a devout Christian that has a deeply spiritual relationship with Our Lord, some of y'all's "dogmas" don't agree.

As long as they wasn't catmas that wouldn't break the deal for me- as long as it wasn't you aren't REALLY saved as long as ____________. Preferences, I can live with.

Hmmm . . . Do you mean that they greatly annoy me and wear on my nerves -OR- They outwardly don't like me? Either way, it would not be a reason for me to not have a relationship with their son.

If the first option, I could endure being annoyed. If the second option . . . well, whether they like me or not is really not my business.

And also, either way, I would endeavor to treat them kindly and with respect.



OK -or- NOT: He / she doesn't have any family relationships.

That would depend on the circumstances- was he kicked out of the home, did he leave, or was there something else in play. I don't think I can answer this directly- but it wouldn't necessarily be a no.


His/Her favorite music in the morning is Polka.

I'm not sure . . . I don't think I know what a fan convention is. However! I do like to go to festivals focusing on specifc eras and dress in period costumes. Technically, in this regard, I've only been to a couple of mountain-man rendezvous. I really want to go to some Reniassance festivals though.

ROFLOL! I just now got this! I kept thinking, "Catmas? I've got to go research that because I've never heard of that aspect of Christianity before."

As long as he didn't turn it on and hit me with the blades- I wouldn't have a problem with it. Not that a fan convention sounds all that exciting (Actually depends on the costume- some are actually tolerable- Comicon was in San Diego)

TAKE: As long as his alarm was quiet, de preferencia not polka- that's cool. He gets up, leaves me coffee made, and goes to bed leaving me to my LAN parties Cool with that!

Depends. Do I get my Miami Dolphins room??? Actually, since I already have a coca cola kitchen, we might have to compromise and he could just do the bathrooms. Do the Packers drink coca cola??? Maybe they could coexist in harmony. Either way, if that decor is that important to him, I would make sure that we could have it in the house somehow. I'm easy to get along with.

Open or Closed: They decorate in Coca Cola, and your a Pepsi fan, or vice versa.

DOND: Someone with a mental illness (i.e bipolar)


No deal. I can't do mental illness yet. While M died of a seizure she struggled with a drug induced mental illness for the last two years of her life. Mental illness is the cruellest form of illness. If your spouse is dying of cancer at least they are still there (they may be in horrendous pain but they still know you and you can try to help them.) In some mental illnesses you can see the torment they are going through but you can do nothing to help them.

This thread is a discussion of what would break the deal for you.

Assume your intended is perfect EXCEPT for the questioned characteristic, would that break the deal for you. Please also explain why. This will help us to know each other better as well to have a better understanding of what we are looking for in a mate.

I took the last question from the closed thread as a logical starting point.





DOND: Has to deal with the impending deaths of immediate family within the upcoming year.

Moderator's note: this thread has administrative approval.



Great Idea, John!

DOND: Has to deal with the impending deaths of immediate family within the upcoming year.

Deal! I know it would be difficult, but I wouldn't shirk from providing emotional support from anyone. I know how painful loss can be, and most often, I find myself being the shoulder to cry on; the ear to listen, or just someone to comfort with some kind words or conversation. I'd do this for anyone who'd lost a loved one, so this is no stretch of the imagination to do it for someone I was considering a future with.

Deal or No Deal: You love them in every way, except, He/She is a forum's administrator who keeps shutting down really cool threads for reasons that don't make sense to you.

Deal. I've found that there are many things about women that men are genetically prevented from understanding. I'd just mark this as one of them.

DOND: While they are friendly to everyone, they have very few friends

Take. I'm a night owl - I hit the snooze button a couple of times and don't like to get out of bed in the morning, but I have trouble putting things down at night, and crawl into bed when I can't stay awake any longer. This could work quite well, actually, because it'll give me my "quiet time" in the evenings.

quote:

Deal. Some people are more comfortable with a small group of friends. It doesn't mean they're unfriendly or that they're not attracting people as friends. I know that I'm friendly with a lot of people but have just a small group of people I call close friends.

Keep or Release: They have periods of time where they need to be alone to process a difficult emotion before they can talk about it with others.

Deal- I think that's pretty normal for a lot of guys. The thing is- a lot of women don't understand that, and they push or pressure guys into sharing their feelings. In the book, Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus the author describes that a lot of guys need what he calls "Cave Time" or time to withdraw into themselves, and that the smartest thing a woman can do is to jsut give the guy his space at those times.

Deal. As long as they eventually get back to me on it. One thing they cannot do is just storm out for a drive or something. (Worries me like you wouldn't believe) Telling me they are going to go drive and think is OK

This one is a little tougher. Since I still want more children I'd also like her to be a stay at home mom at least until the children are in school (assuming we don't homeschool). So if she knows that family comes before career, then deal. If she doesn't recognize that, no deal.

dond: They are very adamant about homeschooling!

Hmm, tough one. I'm not opposed to home schooling at all. However, being adamant might indicate they're dogmatic about certain things, and possibly unwilling to think outside the box or try to come up with alternative solutions. In that case, no deal.

DOND: They shun all modern appliances, including dishwashers (not me!! just a question )
