Matchmaking Opportunities and what I really like

Do I look or seem like the kind of person who looks for someone successful, accomplished, driven, financially stable to be a partner? :)

It's funny. This dear friend of mine, who either is anxious that I am old and lonely, or that she just enjoys playing the matchmaker, was suggesting someone I should date for the 2nd time already.

This is how the first one sounds like:

Hey. I got a friend from facebook. She saw your photo and is interested in getting to know you better. How about chatting with her? She's also a christian, she's in the States for another 2 years. High flyer, very successful, very nice. Blah blah blah. Many more things.

This is how the second one sounds like:

I have a friend. Applications are open. She's very successful, very accomplished, a writer, but now a pub owner too. She's very driven and passionate about her work, quite cool looking. blah blah blah.

I am just amused she mentioned qualities that got to do with material stuff before moving on to other qualities which are somewhat related to the financial stability of the person, like that is something that is most important in a partner. :) But I am not attracted to that, though I think being financially stable and being wise about finances is important. Maybe that's important for her, but not me.

I like someone with a heart who loves God and the things of God, I like someone open to being changed for the better. I like someone with a pure heart. I like someone who has a lot of love, not just for me, but for the people around. I like someone wise and mature, yet able to play at the same time. I like someone who is expressive, someone who speaks well, someone who uses words well, for the benefit of others, not for manipulative purposes. I like someone I can have a 2-way conversation with. I like someone I can share my heart with and likewise someone who lets herself be vulnerable enough to share her heart with me. I like someone who is open to falling in love when the time is right. I like someone who's gentle as opposed to someone who's agressive. I like someone who encourages and helps me in being a better person.

I better stop. :p
