No type. And when I met my future wife, I thought no way, but we became friends. The awkward stage was when I had more than friend feelings. Do you express your feelings and quite possibly ruin your friendship? Then, kissing your friend? It was awkward. But I highly recommend marrying your best friend....well...ummm... It worked for me.
exactly what happened to me. i had this fear of losing my best friend...went into the relationship thinking, either we'll end up married or this will end in a really awful way. 8 1/2 years and 2 kids later, i'm so glad i took the chance.
Tall (slightly) older brunettes rock! But that's just one biased opinion, which is part of my subtle plan to infiltrate everyone's consciousness until everyone's prototype of the most desirable woman just happens to resemble... me. What a coincidence. I don't have a "type". If there's one thing I've learned, and it's about the only thing, it's that everything you know is wrong. Everything I've always thought has been able to go out the window. I don't have many "rules" anymore (except for religious/spiritual compatibility... and must be of the male gender). I've been able to learn to like a lot of things that surprised myself. Age is somewhat of a consideration... I was never "into" older men, Ferdinand was the one exception in that he seemed so young, turned out he never grew up no matter how old he got. I'm not doing that again. My type now would be younger, as I ended up being young for my age with younger friends. The problem, understandably, is getting any guys to go for that. So I may just be friends with everyone for the rest of my life. Besides... then, like was said above, you worry about losing the friend if anything happens, and the transition is rather weird... the problem is that I have a lot more tendency to have feelings for someone I know well than some random guy I just met. But I don't act on it. I was friends first with Ferdinand too, so not like it always works... I don't know anything, so don't take advice from me.
i'm very happy to see here people being honest, mature and loving. I knew you guys had it in you. and also, the line about being your best friend and like spending time together sounds wonderful. i'm ready, just waiting for the rock.
My standards are pretty high in general, but nowhere near my best friend's. He had gorgeous chicks all over him, but he'd seem to find some miniscule thing that he would focus on, until he was convinced it would bother him to the point he'd have to end the relationship. Also he didn't want to move too fast, at a young age he had a ridiculously hot girlfriend practially begging him to make out with her, but he didn't feel like it was right. Anyway, after a while i'd have to hear all the time how lonely he was, needed someone, etc. This went on for about a year, dude was getting straight depressed over his bachelorhood. I told him just to start dating, even if it was for a little less than expectation, just get out there and try. Well he met the girl he always wanted back last January and they are getting married in 3 weeks. I'm not sure if she's everything he really wanted, but who really gets that? I guess the moral of the story here is that if you are good looking and very appealing, you might just get something close to what you want. For the rest of us, we have to take what we can get and hope we aren't making too much of a mistake.
The one I found at RussianWives dot com came with a money back guarantee. Unfortunately, I didn't read the fine-print and now I am stuck with her.
Physically, yeah, pretty much what I had been chasing--blonde, big boobs, great body. Personality-wise, not at all what I had been expecting to marry--but I know I'm an ass to say this, but something just clicks--it just makes sense somehow and you find out later how much you actually wanted what you married, not what you thought you would marry. Anyways, that was vague and gay. I'm done.
No $hit. For most of us, it's like: whoever would put up with me, find me attractive, be willing to settle for me. And it seems like even trying to be the best possible person or partner you can doesn't change your chances. Well, maybe if you're a guy, it does. For us ladies, I think it's just somehow written in stone how desirable we will or won't be and nothing we can do can change it. (just bitter right now... I probably need to have some sort of operation that permanently cuts off the center of your brain that wants relationships or love or sex or intimacy or anything of that nature, so I'll never miss it )
