So I signed up for eHarmony

I felt like God told me to sign up for eharmony. I picked up a q-tip, made sure my ears were clean, asked again...and he said "now's the time." WTF? There has been an urgency this last couple of weeks that I haven't so much felt before. So....I'm open to suggestions. Here's my basic criteria: 33-39 yrs old. I'd be willing to consider over 40, maybe. I happen to be attracted to multiple races. My main non-negotiable is that I want a passionate worshiper of Jesus. If he weeps at the mention of Jesus name, I'm hooked. We can live in the suburbs, the ghettos or anywhere in between. He should have a job of some sort too. I was not created to be a sugar-mama. Of course there are a lot of other qualities that can be broken down from there, but that will give each of you a good starting point, for your husband scavenger hunt assignment. :) Since I'm sending you on this wild goose chase, I thought I would tell you what character traits eHarmony thinks I would be most compatible with. Here we go:

You will do best with someone who is attentive and available when you need him, but doesn't smother you with attention. You are most compatible with someone who believes that communication is vital in creating a healthy relationship, but you may have problems with someone who feels a burning need to know every last detail about your past or every thought that crosses your mind. Your ideal mate is someone who isn't afraid to stand up for his opinions, but doesn't always feel the need to do so. However, you will not do well with someone who needs to dominate every conversation and win every argument. You will be happiest with a man who works to control his temper when he is upset. He generally has a long fuse, so he doesn't get mad very often. However, your best match needs to have a strong backbone in order to gain and keep your respect.

You will be happiest with a man who appreciates romance but doesn't shower you with chocolates and flowers every day. He's the kind of man who can be affectionate and cuddly in private, but doesn't overdose on sappy sentiments or public displays of affection. His friends and family see him as someone who is funny and interesting but who knows when to take things seriously. You'll be happiest in the long run with a man who's generally outgoing and vivacious but who appreciates a regular dose of quiet and relaxation to keep him at his best. You will be best matched with a man who is eager to find out more about things that interest him. He likes to learn about the world by trying new things, like exotic foods, a far-flung vacation destination or conversations with people from other cultures.

Your ideal mate is knowledgeable and well-read. His friends and family know him as someone who enjoys knowing a lot about certain subjects, without being someone who always needs to be the "smartest" guy in the room. Your ideal mate is the kind of man who is serious about putting his values into action. He feels a personal responsibility to make the world a better place and, unlike many people, he practices what he preaches. You are best suited to someone who shares your view that there's more to life than work.

So good luck to you in your search for my husband. God speed!

Wow - you go, girl! If I meet any potentials I will send them your way - if I don't keep him for myself, that is. Haha - I need another man like I need a hole in my head. (:
