I love to mingle with people and just plain start a conversation about anything, anywhere at any time. I am not a loner, so I like having lots of friends

I like girls that are flirty.

Bri_L's avatar

Humor, compassion, sincerity, when they show more interest in others than in themselves,

It doesn’t hurt if they have a big bowl of nacho cheese and chips

Wit. Maturity. Fellow humanists. Environmentalism. Education. Lack of machismo.

syz's avatar

Humor, intelligence, an open, inquiring mind.

witchhazel's avatar

Definitely humor, especially someone that can laugh at themselves and not take everything so seriously. Someone that has a sense of self but is not cocky.

rking1487's avatar

Smile, eyes and intelligence, it also helps to be able to hold a conversation.

susanc's avatar

Hey kev, that would be me.
I’m attracted to sweetness.

scamp's avatar

Sense of humor is tops on my list, followed very closely by compassion, understanding and open- mindedness.

kevbo's avatar

@susanc, Cue Marvin!

susanc's avatar

That’s what I mean, Kev!
“givin your love to me can never be wrong (oo) if your love is true.”
True sweetness.
You made my day. Again.

scamp's avatar

susanc and kev… get a room! ha ha!!

buster's avatar

i always try and be best buds with the kid that has a skateboard ramp in his backyard. I also like people that make me laugh and old men that tell stories about the good old days.

ketoneus's avatar

Intelligence, sarcasm and compassion

susanc's avatar

@scamp: I would get a room with kevbo if he hadn’t said that thing somewhere else
about his attention-getting package. TMI! Cyberlurve for me.

kevbo's avatar

But what about the all the good times we’ve shared? The laughter and the tears?

Remember Marvin? Can’t we just get back to Marvin?

ninjaxmarc's avatar

positive body language, the way eyes can speak, the bright aura of ones light.

susanc's avatar

Oh Marvin. Yes, Tammy. Ain’t nothin like the real thing, baby. No, no.

kev, you were always my fantasy. Yet the
laughter and the tears we shared were real to me and always will be.
And I believe there is a future for us kevbo. Somewhere, somewhere there’s a place for us. A time and place for us. Hold my hand and we’re halfway there. Because that
place is very close. Yes, it’s very close. It’s .. it’s right here… it’s fluther… oh my heart is fluthering so….

scamp's avatar

Do we have a front row seat to the first ever fluther hook-up here?? Awwww how sweet!

wildflower's avatar

@scamp
I was thinking that too….

wildflower's avatar

awww…...ain’t love grand?

rking1487's avatar

Let them have their privacy!

wildflower's avatar

no way! they flaunt it – we pick on it…....rules is rules ;)

rking1487's avatar

Now you know why some guys don’t like public affection, because its looked at as flaunting and wildflowers and scamps like to go home with them and watch.

wildflower's avatar

ah see, but some might be aiming for just that…....it’s all very subjective and depends on what floats your boat…
...and who says it’s just some ‘guys’ that dislike public displays of affection?

scamp's avatar

Go home with them and watch? I told them to get a room!

kevbo's avatar

@susan, no matter how much I get from other fluthers, nobody lurves me the way you do.

susanc's avatar

Wildflower, bless you for showing me how to send this about kevbo. Hope this works.

@all: plenty of people may lurve kev the way I do. Let me tell you why I do though.
He’s wise. He’s kind. He’s generous. He sticks to the point. He takes care of
business, getting relevant information for people who ask for it. He’s appreciative.
He’s funny. What’s not to lurve? And our relationship
has been lifting my spirits and making me laugh so much – as has all the commentary.
I have a husband I adore, ill with lung cancer. Not that ill yet, but he’s not likely to recover, and we’re sad together while hellbent on enjoying all the time we’re allotted. To have someone like kevbp be so nice to me, that’s pretty lurvely.
Maybe we’ll get a room someday. We could watch us some tv and tell stories in it.
Anyone could come by. Thanks for all the encouragement.

scamp's avatar

@susanc You’re right about kevbo. He is a great guy, and I agree with everything you said above about him. and you are a remarkable lady. We were just teasing the two of you. Thanks for taking it in stride. I’m so sorry about your husband’s illness. I’ll keep you both in my prayers.

susanc's avatar

Hey scamp the teasing has been part of the spirit lift. Thanks for teasing and prayers too.

scamp's avatar

((((Hugs))))

Bri_L's avatar

@ kevbo – you had me at simpson’s trivia (interests) ! That alone rules!

wildflower's avatar

yaay…..I’m an enabler for Fluther lurve..!

kevbo's avatar

@susan & scamp, Geez. What do I say to that?

Thank you both. And thanks, susan, for the song. That put a smile on my face.

@Bri L, Excellent.

(And don’t I remember you from educational films such as “Alice’s Adventures through the Windshield Glass,” “Lead Paint: Delicious but Deadly,” and “Fuzzy Bunny’s Guide to You-Know-What”?)

Bri_L's avatar

@ kevbo Awsome reference!! That is the one where Fuzzy bunny discovered he had fur where he had none before and never gave in to his biological urges.

@susanc I once read a true story of a man who was dying from cancer. Doctor sent him home so he told his wife to get the funniest movies, joke magazines, and anything else that will make him laugh and have a great time. He wanted to have a ball the last few days of his life. Time passed longer than he expected to live, so he went back to the hospital to have a check up; turned out that his cancer was reducing in size. Try it, you have nothing to lose and with prayer it will help.

I also heard another case in Malaysia where a doctor gave his cancer patient pure oxygen to breath. Cancer cells abound when there is lack of oxygen. This treatment allowed his patient to have less pain. It didn’t cured him but at least made it less painful.

I encourage all of you here on fluther to pray for susanc’s husband that a miracle be done to heal him from this terrible disease.
