I satisfy most of your criteria. Except I’m 30, emit many aromas, prefer dogs to cats, don’t care much for watermelon and could not possibly love you unconditionally (particularly if you need 12 hours of beauty sleep). I can do most of the extreme stuff, though. But I’d have to concur with the 23 going on 12 thing.

Thanks for the list, **Merla**. I am so going to enjoy printing it out and framing it or making it into a certificate or something. I may make a small-size version and carry it around in my wallet **all the time**. Apart from the age thing (I’m waaay too old for you), I can tick every box. So, now it’s official: I’m perfect! As if my female friends ever doubted it…
