Do you have a full basement capable of handling dungeon equipment being safely mounted within it? Because it's important to know these things when dealing with kids...

I don't have little children at home anymore but if I did those would be, calm, collected, steady, with a good sense of humor and diplomacy. Also a man who understands well the boundaries of this kind of relationship.

Good question.

Someone that doesn't have a criminal history. No past drug/alcohol abuse. Someone that has a great sense of humor, patience, etc. I wouldn't settle for just any kind of man around my kid.

I love kids. It's kind of tough getting them to cook at just the right temperature though. Usually just end up stringy and tough... devil

I like those. Humor is a must to me.

Honesty, patience, understanding, compassion, sense of humor, a willingness to be a kid (play with them), be an adult - not their friend, and share the responsibilities.

With these there shouldn't be a problem of a criminal record or substance abuse problem. They would be an adult.

Since anyone I marry ( shudder ) would be the one bringing the step children into the relationship ( my daughter will be over 18 by the time that happens ) all I can go on is what I WOULD have wanted.

Basically, someone who has patience, who can handle the way I discipline my child, and can be a positive role model.
