Lisaq’s Dating Resume
So, sort of in jest on the What I’ve Learned About Online Dating post, I mentioned creating a dating resume to take on first meets. Then I thought, you know, that ain’t a half bad idea. Could serve as sort of a profile of sorts as well. I did a little research and found that many folks out there have created and posted dating resumes. Damn skippy I’m writing a resume.

Experience
Well, tons. Since I’ve been married four times and have been single and dating off and on for 20+ years, I think it’s safe to say I’ve racked up some experience along the way. On the plus side, I definitely know what it is I’m looking for…and what I’m not.
What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for a man who loves life and laughter, who can be sweet and romantic or fun and a little outrageous. He should be confident and know what he wants in life. I love a man who has a positive outlook on life and can laugh at himself.
On the physical side, I prefer tall men. Silly I know, considering I’m a mere 5 foot tall, but there you have it. I like athletically built men. I’m an equal opportunity dater and do not discriminate based on race or color. I have a preference for younger men. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will not be dismissed out of hand if you have a few of years on me. That being said, my definition of “a few” is 2 or 3…maybe 4 if you’ve really got it going on.
I have a sarcastic sense of humor and love someone who can match wits with me. I am outgoing and social. I love nights on the town, so a man who enjoys getting out and getting a little nuts is definitely preferred.
What I’m NOT Looking For
I’m not looking for someone who is emotionally unavailable, married, and/or isn’t over his ex. Neediness and desperation are not attractive. If this describes you, move along. I also don’t need a doormat as I have one right where it belongs…outside the front door. If I need to step all over something or wipe my feet, I can already do that.
If you feel a need to always be in control or have been compared to Narccisus, please do not apply. I’ve had enough of that crap to last 2 lifetimes.
Looking for a mother? Stop right there. I’ve already raised my children and have no desire to raise you.
Understand that I’m a strong, independent woman. I have a life already thank you very much. I plan to continue living it. If you think I’ll put everything else aside and my world will begin revolving around you, think again.

This is PERFECT! I love how you count everything, as if someone would mis-read what you have clearly written. Makes me wonder how my resume would read in the dating world!

Love it! For a second there I was afraid you were going to list all of your previous, um, “employers”. That might be TMI (it would be with me, at least).

Wha’? I thought all the while that you only make your resume when you’re looking for a job…Well, it seems I can use my CV to look for single girls, right? Oh boy, I can’t wait to find some resume writing tips to help me find the love of my life! Thanks for the information….anyway, Lisaq, would you care to look at my resume once I’ve finished it.
