30 Things I've Learned: #16

 -Have a list of non negotiables

1. Non smoker
2. No kids
3. Never been married
4. Doesn't poop with the door open
5. Works out
6. Travels
7. Has a 401K
8. Doesn't own a cat

Sure there are other things I'd like, other things I want, but the above are what I need. The important things (relatively speaking). The things I won't compromise on. The things that if I did would compromise me.

So while I think being the girl with the "list" is borderline obnoxious, being the girl with standards is not. So get some. And stick with it.

I know the above guy exists. I've dated him several times over. And just because it didn't work out doesn't mean my list needs revising, it simply means that things beyond a list happened and it ended. Im happy to say though it never ended because of a no.2 door open incident.
