10 Signs

Got this off MSN, for the benefit of the ladies, i will attempt to answer them as honestly as possible.

1. Is your date kind, respectful and appropriately generous to waiters/waitresses, bus drivers, sales clerks, etc?
- I'm exceptionally kind, especially to service staff. It's because i used to be in the industry and i know exactly what they are going thru.

2. Has your sweetie confessed to any immoral behavior: Cheating, stealing, lying, inappropriate aggression? If so, how much reflection on this and desire to change has this person shown since then?
- I've always told people i'm not the perfect human being, but hey, who is?

3. Does the person you’re dating have any addictions: Drinking, gambling, shopping? Does he or she want to change—and is he or she working to make change happen?
- Drinking seems to be my biggest problem, and singing of course.

4. Does your honey have a lot of lasting friendships—or hardly any?
- Yeah you can say that my friendships are pretty long lasting. But i'm guilty of being extremely lazy and anti-social when it comes to class gatherings.

5. Does your date always tell stories about bad dynamics he or she experiences with other people? Or does he or she seem to get along easily, even swimmingly, with others?
- At the present moment, i only have ONE enemy whom i bitch about everyday. The rest of the time i have decent human skills.

6. Does your sweetie comment on news stories with a sense of empathy and awareness, or is he or she low on expressing compassion for all that is going on in this world?
- If the topic is of a certain importance to me or something i feel strongly about i will tend to be more aware, else i can be rather detached sometimes.

7. Have you witnessed your date doing small acts of kindness (leaving a very big tip for no apparent reason, helping someone with his or her shopping bags)?
- If i do that, i'm most probably trying to impress someone special. I'm what you can describe as an "intentional" person.

8. Does this person donate time, money and energy to good causes/charity?
- I do, honestly. Just not a lot.

9. Does your honey value self-growth—and show this by being open to hearing your grievances, accepting responsibility for problems when merited, and sharing with you how much he or she values learning lessons in life?
- One word, Yes.

10. Does your sweetie truly value open communication and know how to listen? When you’re upset or need nurturing, does this person deal with the problem at the speed of life... or shut down/stonewall/attack/condescend?
- I will listen to you as long as you listen to me.
