Dealing with Deal Breakers

so life's been interesting to say the least...i'm hardly ever alone except for when i absolutely choose to be, which is the complete opposite of how things were just two months ago. In my old blog i talked a lot about my separation from people and how sad i was that several of my friends were so far away in different states, but i've made new friends and gotten closer to associates i've had since freshman year of college. honestly, i can't imagine my life right now without them.
i've also been dating this guy who is 10 years older than i am, which i had a problem with at first, but it's not such a big deal really. every time we hang out, i feel guilty though:-(. that's mainly because i'm not very attracted to him. he's a cool person, but there are deal breakers that i have that are interfering with the relationship. i think ALL women have "a list" of things they want in a boyfriend/husband. i know i definitely do lol. i first wrote one when i was like 10 or 11. some things have changed, but what's funny is most of them haven't.
First and foremost, the guy i'm with has to love my God...not just any god, but MY God--Jesus. the guy i'm dating now said that he wouldn't necessarily call himself a Christian, which means he is NOT one because there should be no doubt about who you serve. that right there is a deal breaker. Now the next parts of the list are broken up into two categories: personality and appearance. Personality: He must be funny; if he can't make me laugh he's boring and must get the boot. He should be sensitive (not wussy sensitive, but caring and understanding, not hard, stern, and cold all the time). He should be ambitious and self-motivated--i'm not his mother, so i shouldn't have to check to make sure he's doing his self-improvement homework every night. he must also be intelligent. he doesn't have to be like ginsu knife sharp(is that how you spell it?), but definitely not the dullest knife in the drawer.
As for Appearance: I want someone taller than I am (so 5'10 and under need not apply:-) I also like athletic to slender build (i'm not into the teddy bears, but i've never tried so i could be wrong). I prefer chocolate men, but two of my exes prove otherwise. I am so attracted to smiles and dimples. they make me melt lol...
so anyway, i've thought a lot about this. i wonder what would be on my friends' lists. maybe i'll ask soon.
