It's impossible to start a first date with said qualification (jumping the gun a wee bit), but man. I imagine it will be the true challenge of any potential future long term relationship I might have. (awful lot of qualifications there)
I don't even understand this qualification. You don't want to give your kids a middle name? You feel very strongly that middle names are bad news? You think this will be a major issue at some point?
Personally I've never met anyone with strong views about middle names. You know...except you. That's if I'm understanding you.
Also...you're looking for a man right? Unless you're a man yourself....isn't it usually the man's last name that goes to the kids? Possibly you're from a different culture though.

oh, I do love that game called flirting!
whilst in the company of my male peers, I'm not sure if I ever actually stop! Its ingrained into me!
OK, not exactlly an imponderable, but nevertheless:
Your house is on fire, everyone else is out safely, what do you save? (besides your firefly boxset, of course!)

Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics.

ooh I love that one SBDB- um ( of course after pets, husband, and firefly) I'd save my jewlery case( or maybe not as it is all insured and I could get new stuff..hmmm) ok definitely my ipod, my cell phone, and my good shoe racks with all my favorite shoes in them( yes I have more than one shoe rack- I have 3 and actually I need one more)ok I appear to be weighing myself down a lot...hmm maybe I need a cart in case of fire to throw stuff into.I can't even think about all my beloved book burning up.
I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

I would throw out the gun locker and ammo boxes. Don't want the Fire Dept. Hangin' back while my house burns down because of live rounds cookin' off. That and the kids' papers.

Apparently just my cat, wallet and car keys.
A while back the fire alarms went nuts in my apartment building because someone had set off their sprinklers. After unplugging all my smoke detectors and swearing a lot cause they were still going off, I looked outside. Everyone else's alarms were going off and they were leaving. So, I felt stupid, grabbed my cat out from where she was hiding, grabbed my wallet and keys and took her to sit in the car and wait it out.
I didn't feel there was any real threat though. Don't know what gave me that impression, but I was right.

Actually had some kind of panic attack at this. It would have to be my hard drive, and the armful of hardback notebooks stacked against it.
Weirdly enough, I used a house fire as a life-changing event in fic. Perhaps because it is one of the scariest things I can think of.
So far, what makes my marriage work is that the H gets me a cup of tea in the morning 
I am a useless zombie without it, and unable to even feed my poor kitcat. In return, I tolerate a weird obsession with tools (why does anyone need twenty near identical screwdrivers, and then have to buy another, because it is 'exactly the right one' for the job?) He is not a Browncoat, but puts up with a lot of random oddness, involving a wife who stares at him blankly occasionally and mutters about gorram purplebellies.

wow, MSG, looks like you need a fireproof house! I would save my two venetian masks, my pendrive and the stuffed yellow elephant I have had since I was a baby. oh, and my schoolbooks (nothing sentimental there, I just refuse to do all that work again!)
I get what you mean, Marina. I would only refuse to take my husbands name if it was something really awful. Other than that sure!

Hey, I haven't gotten to do the first one yet!
Marriage, in order:
1) commitment - to the marriage, not so much the person
2) compromise - a willingness to surrender your personal autonomy in favor of the community
3) common goals and values
4) communication - this encompasses a great deal, so much that I won't even bother trying to get into it
5) copulation! (not the best word, makes me think of snails for some reason, but I figured it should start with "c"; plus I'm not sure it's absolutely necessary, but what list would be complete without it?)
To those of you who have expressed a distaste for playing games with each other, my first reaction is, you're either going to have a lot of lonely years, or you're going to get used by people who are playing games but will take advantage of your belief that they are not.
Oh, and watch Wedding Crashers ("Maybe we'll play a little game called just the tip, just for a moment, just to see how it feels")

No freakin' crap. I pretty much understand everything you're saying. I've seen both sides of the non game thing. I just won't play back. Distance seems easier than putting up with too much poop.
I'd rather be lonely and gameless than be used as I have in the past.
So I was going through some paperwork and realized that I have been an Administrative Assistant for over three months. Kinda wierd.
