I'm out of the dating game since I got married. Still, I voted for no minimal requirements based on my past behavior. I know that sounds like I was desperate, but it isn't really true. After one particularly bad experience, I always insisted on a pulse.

eeep! this thread is very hard to read. at first i was thinking that you need to relax and get over it BUT then after thinking about my own personal experiences, i can say with certainty that finding someone who holds your interest is SO important. Usually that means having the same intelligence level and same appreciation and interest in academia. What i do not agree with, however, is that you need to date someone in the same field as you. It might become overwhelming. If you're parents would be ashamed of you for dating a non PhD then that is sad :(

Just look for someone who makes you happy, and someone who challenges you on several levels - and someone who is either in your intellectual demographic or who is passionate about many of the same things.
