What do I look for when interviewing a new, um, victim? applicant? (Aside from appreciating a copy of his latest bank statement?)

Likes:
Honesty, reliability, ready to meet his commitments, supportive nature,
good social graces, smart casual, generous smile, pleasant eyes,
an interest in the arts/music, creative, charitable,
openmindedness (he'll need that with me), enquiring, a happy drinker

Dislikes:
Preachy, Lecturing, self-centred, tied to social conditioning,
romantically pushy, beard and/or stubble-faced, confronter, mind-gamer,
obsessive, abrasive, obese, smelly, poor self-discipline, laziness.

For a possible partner. The interview could take a couple or three dates! It would have to develop into an easy friendship first and I'd have to like him.

Edit. In truth I think you just get a "feel" for people (in the mind, not a physical feel - at least, not on first meeting. LOL. Those days are over, shame but how it is!!) Just if you think you like someone, give him a chance.
