Having a sense of humor is sooo important! I think in general one has to have a sense of humor to be healthy, life isn't a simple "walk in the park"......
I voted yes, but I don't think I've ever actually listed out the qualities I looked for in choosing my husband. At least not in a certain order. I know my number 1 is absolutely that he must share my Faith in Christ. I would never have dated a guy who didn't. After that, he had to be a man of Integrity. To me that would mean being someone who keeps their word and is responsible. Also having a calm personality meant a lot to me. I guess humor is tied in with that some. DH and I do have similar senses of humor and we have a good time together, but overall he is the calm to my turbulent emotions....to say the least.
DH isn't perfect, but he's definitely my match. I enjoy living my life with him.
Humor is important to me, I can be too serious and I like a guy that can make me lighten up
Other traits I look for are:
tolerance- I won't date a person who looks down on anyone for any reason. Many times someone I've dated has made an off hand comment and that's the end
intelligence- not someone who can necessarily expalin the theory of relativity, but someone who can think critically. I'm a bit lacking in common sense
so someone who has common sense serves as a balance
introverted- I'm not a social person and don't like to be dragged to parties and the like where I just sit in a corner people-watching. My ex was a very people-oriented person and I went along and never really had fun
honest- I want someone who will be true to me and another side to honesty is being able to tell me when something is wrong, I'd rather have my feelings hurt now than later if that makes sense (also something I dealt with with my ex)
another thing that is important to me is chemistry, I wouldn't say I have a particular "type" (mr bear
) but there has to be some sort of physical connection, that is something that just cannot be faked
