Most important quality in a man: "Romance is a must, and manners are very important."

Ideal date: "Going to a nice dinner with candlelight, great company and great conversation."

What makes me want to see a man again after a first date: "If I get a good feeling about him. It has to be an evening I won't forget, have to laugh a lot as well."

I would never date a man who ... "sits on his butt all day and does nothing! If he has no goals, does not talk, likes to get into fights, allows sports to dictate his schedule (sorry), is jealous, disrespectful, controlling, or possessive."

How I show I care: "By doing things for him and taking care of him, being there for him."

What makes a man unforgettable: "Someone who is charming, smart, funny, outgoing, fun, romantic."

I wish men understood ... "women need to be able to talk things out, we can't guess what's in your heads either, you need to express yourself ... and understand women like to be made to feel beautiful, unique, cared for and respected."

One thing a man has never done for me: "Surprise me with a great home-cooked meal with candles and good music. I also would love someone to take me out to a place for dinner that has live music (jazz, piano); a nice place, not rock bands."

... on RELATIONSHIPS  

On relationships: "I am more of a relationship person and I think it's important to have a  significant other in your life, someone you can share your day with, the good and the bad, be there for each other. I believe you have to be friends, very important. I would love to only get married one time."

Top relationship keys: "Trust, honesty, communication, romance, common interests, friendship, loyalty, be willing to meet halfway on things."

A man in a relationship with me can expect ... "total loyality, respect, commitment, compassion, attention, romance, me to be there for them ..."

What I expect: "The same things back that I give."

When I'm in love, I ... "fall hard and love unconditionally. I go out of my way to make someone happy."

What makes me feel close to a man: "When I can talk to him, and he is there for me during the good and bad, and makes me feel that he understands me."

Greatest relationship lesson: "Never rush into a relationship, never get involved with someone too young or too old, never date jealous, controlling men. It just does not work with me."

What makes a man marriage material: "If he has all the qualities and then some that I like, and he has to be dedicated completely."
