you're charming and you smell good, you're well-mannered and defiant, you're a goof-ball, you have a come-hither stare, you want to own an OED (and if you don't, you certainly know what it is and covet it), you love to kiss and are GOOD at it, you crave good comedy (mostly british) almost as much as the air you breathe, you secretly love barry manilow or john denver, you have an inquisitive spirit, a sense of diplomacy, you love your mother. you understand that some of the greatest character strengths are borne of a willingness to be vulnerable (and silly). you smoke and drink when you want to, you don't fear the idea of being trapped in an elevator with william f. buckley or jim carrey. you're kind, witty, generous, quirky, sarcastic, open-minded, well-educated and well-groomed. you want to throw back a few drinks with me when absolutely (un)necessary.
