Memsy - I've done the distance thing, too (not thousands of miles, but far enough) and I know it didn't work out well for me either...

ON TOPIC (that's a switch for me, eh?)
WHAT I FIND ATTRACTIVE, BY BLACK KNIGHT...
She has to be happy with who she is, confidence is great...she has to have a sense of adventure, likes to laugh. Doesn't have to be into everything I am, as long as she doesn't expect it out of me. Has to be her own person and not identify herself around US.
And I do believe that becoming my best friend would be a big step in marraaaaa....marrriggg.....that thing with the rings? (whew)
(did you notice how I didn't mention ANYTHING physical there? Although if you were talking about what Attracts me to a women, it would be a totally different story...)
