Hey Everyone!
A quick Google search says that "Kryptonite" is: "an alien mineral that has the property of depriving Superman of his powers; something that can seriously weaken or harm a particular person or thing."
In this thread, let's talk about someone's "kryptonite" as a relatively GOOD thing.
What are the qualities that will always make you notice a person, and maybe even "knock you off your feet" about them? (Whether as a potential date, or a potential friend?)
For instance, I'm always impressed by:
* Good manners -- when they open doors for people, say "please" and "thank you", treat others with kindness, etc. I'm always impressed by those who are kind to employees and fellow customers in all situations (at restaurants, theaters, stores, airports, etc.)
* Biblical knowledge without superiority -- someone who can discuss the Bible well but without trying to impress with "exclusive knowledge" or pride; is gifted in meeting others humbly where they are at.
* Willing to talk about spiritual experiences and gifts but with humility, and is willing to listen about the same in others. For example, I often seem to have a calling to those who have gone through a lot of abuse, often as children, and that can be a tough subject to engage in.
* A realistic attitude -- someone who's neither artificially exuberant nor exceedingly sullen or apathetic. Someone who feels genuine and comfortable to talk to -- which can be frustratingly rare to find.
* Compassionate but with the wisdom to set boundaries -- someone who has the knowledge experience with knowing when to help, and when to avoid enabling.
* And of course, someone who has a great sense of humor and curiosity about life!
How about YOU?
* What qualities in others are YOUR kryptonite -- what things do you see in other people that makes you feel almost "powerless" -- and wanting to know more about them?
* How long does it take you to notice these things -- or are they usually evident early on?
* What is it about these things that you find so attractive?
* Do you find that you have all of the same qualities you're attracted to in others, or do you like the feeling of "opposites attracting"?
