Notwithstanding that I am in some way an Eleanor Roosevelt-type person, I feel Spring is most definitely in the air. The sun shines. The sap rises. Thoughts turn to women. Well mine do but that's my problem.

My chum Stephen has a set of prerequisites before even contemplating stepping out with a female. They make for an amusing read:

i) she must be not mad. He's very insistent upon this having met a number of my girlfriends over the years. 
ii) she must be English. I've never quite agreed with S on this point. But he did once step out with a Welsh Girl, and an Italian lass or two, and his family are Irish (of a particular kind) anyway.
iii) she must be a 'gentlewoman'.

Now I would tend to include article iv) that the woman in question should actually be interested in him. Stephen, being a certain sort of chap, never has problems in believing that all women of taste and discrimination should find him fascinating. Stephen's chums, out of kindness, have not yet cared to disabuse him of this delusion for fear of making him unhappy.

I've stepped out with women of most hues and cultures and I've come to the conclusion my needs are easier to fulfill than Stephen's.
Not mad would be an advantage.
Same continent would also be good.
Over thirty (younger falls into that horrific category - young enough to be my daughter is a disconnect too far). Well preserved and of my own age would help.
Witty....this should go first on the list really: I'll put up with a lot if I'm laughing.

But somewhere at the core....
Spring is really in the air.
A seasonal disorder, no doubt.

Or precisely seasonal order. Also, for the record, Swiss girls rock the LTR.

as i get older i find myself less sympathetic to hearing any kind of music. there are certain things i like, but only very precise things. like i like mozart's requiem, but nothing jollier. i like ballet music but not much opera, i like jazz that is very close to being systems music, but not noodle jazz or really anything involving a lot of screeching or high hats.

otherwise, anglophone is good, age appropriate is good, humour always a winner.

not so much smoking drinking to any great extent and SNORING!

Do you have a particular 'gentlewoman' in mind? And can I ask, what exactly defines a 'gentlewoman'? With all due respect to S., it sounds horridly limiting to me.

Spring really IS in the air!
*pondering list*
The lady I'm seeing is:
- in the same valley (a city away)
- not at all mad, I think.
- under thirty... (but I'm not -that- far over 30)

although it comes to me - what do you consider 'mad'?

Not mad is an exceedingly important facet in a romance, I have come to learn.
