‘Sleeping in separate rooms. I am an extremely sensitive sleeper and for the life of me cannot fall asleep if someone else is in the room. Has nothing to do with how much I love you. I still like bedtime cuddles, but once it’s time to actually sleep, I need you elsewhere.’

‘Left my last girlfriend because she didn’t completely open anything… I hate having that tin foil cover under the lid to the sour cream. It’s now a requirement, and the first thing I ask about anybody I date.’

‘For me, it’s fear of birds.
‘What a freaking turn off it is to feel your man flinch while making out because a bird in a cage chirped.’

‘Here’s something that took me well over 50 years to realize: I have to be with someone that isn’t negative. Like, if your whole persona is tearing down others, or looking for the worst. Yeah, I start to lose my mind. I’ve been told by past partners, “oh you’re so easy going.. you don’t care about anything”. Nah, girl.. I care about a lot. But I can’t spend all effing day consumed with shit I can’t control.’

‘Minimal social media posting. No constant Facebook, LinkedIn, Insta, Twitter/X/etc… No online check ins and a hundred pictures of every meal at a restaurant, or curated albums of dates or vacations. Message boards are fine, but I don’t need or want everything we do chronicled online.’

‘How they drive is really important to me. If they tailgate, have road rage, or speed up when people try to pass them, I’m out. I’ve had my life endangered too many times with men getting emotional about driving.’

‘Maybe not unconventional, but after a number of relationships without this it kind of feels that way:
‘Be a competent adult on your own.
‘As in, if it’s not quite commonplace to hire or otherwise pay someone to do a certain task for you, you should know how to do it yourself. You don’t need to know how to change your own oil, but you do need to know how to do your own laundry sort of thing.
‘We’re in an age where it’s really no longer a matter of someone never having to balance a check book because that’s a partner’s job, or not having to learn how to cook, mow the lawn, take out the trash, wash dishes, make appointments, whatever, because that’s the partner’s role. We should all know how and be capable of living alone, with the caveat that we’re not homesteading here, we do live in a world where we have mechanics and plumbers and tax preparers and the like.
‘We don’t all have to be great at everything or totally self-sufficient (I mean, most people buy food from the grocery store rather than growing their own, so nothing wrong with relying on other people in that sense), but just the basics of living an independent adult existence.’
