Dooce has a blog entry on Relationship Dealbreakers with tons o'hilarious comments, and I bet some of your Disastrous Date Stories would fit right in. XD

What I mean by physical attraction is that I think he's hot, and I want to touch him and kiss him. I don't actually have any set... set of physical traits that make me feel that way, though there's certainly physical attributes that generally turn me on or off. But I've been attracted to men who aren't my usual type, for sure, and not been attracted to men who were objectively very good-looking. Intelligence and sense of humor are turn-ons, but there has to be that subjective feeling of sexual attraction too. If intelligence and sense of humor was all it took, I'd be hitting on you. ;)

Then we must be star-crossed, unrequited, tragic lovers!

(I watched a kick flick starrign Jet Li not too long ago where the character of his mother disgused herself as a man to fight a neighboring fmaily's mother, who'd sworn to marry her daughter only to the person who could beat her, so that Jet Li could marry the daughter and of course the other mother fell in love with Jet Li's mother in disguise. And one of the best things they did with that was later on, when the other mother died of ... I don't remember, a wound or a random mysterious illness or something - by then she'd figured out that Jet Li's mother was really a woman, but still confessed her love anyway, and Jet Li's mother held her as she died and seriously promised that they'd meet again in their reincarnations. Too bad most of the rest of the movie was sort of dull.)

After a few too many first dates with nice, funny men I would have loved to spend time with in any non-kissing context, I finally realized how important that is. It honestly takes more than an attractive personality to make me want to kiss someone, and I don't see the point in dating someone I don't want to kiss.
