I’m watching the Millionaire Matchmaker on BravoTV.com. The dates are horribly awkward and I can’t stop watching. Schadenfreude.

Patti Stanger (the Matchmaker) just made one of the Millionaires make a list of his five non-negotiables / deal-breakers for dating. I love the idea.

Here’s my list.

1. Must be outgoing and social. I am not Beryl Parmenter.
2. Must communicate well. No passive aggressiveness.
3. Must be drug free. Including Marijuana.
4. Must be respectful to others. Specifically – he must be respectful to his family, my family, his coworkers, and especially assistants and people in the service industry. That is very important. If you are rude to an assistant or a waiter, then you are a douchecanoe.
5. Must have passion. For something. Be it career, art, hobby, etc. A tell-tale sign of a lack of passion/direction is if someone is constantly bored.

Not too crazy, right?
