Dear Darla, so let's get down to the business of serious analysis.

What are you looking for in a man?

Because there is no man on the scene right now, this question of serious analysis, though

you are thinking about the qualities of a man you would want is actually a question

of serious self-analysis.

You can't analyze him because he's not here yet.

You can come up with a list of characteristics and qualities and you can write them down.

Go ahead and do that.

If something comes to mind, put it down.

Make a stream of consciousness list.

Just put it down.

You can edit later and you can prune things from the list later and you can change things

on the list later.

This is a working draft.

You are not examining a man, but rather examining yourself.

Now suppose you made such a list and then a guy comes along who checks all the boxes.

Suppose he takes you out a few times and you decline going out with him a third time.

Why?

You just weren't feeling it.

This is certainly your prerogative and nobody's arguing that you should continue to go out
