UPDATE - Friends and Forums
Some people say dating is complicated. I say it is a bit like golf. Lost balls, swing and miss, or on those "rare" occasions I silently say the F word and think about tossing my clubs into the lake, none of this is important. Effort is what counts. But if the "practice makes perfect" saying is true we will eventually CONNECT with that one, perfectly straight drive that makes you say "SWEEEEET".
I'm looking for that connection, for that guy who gets me, that and all my beautiful imperfections. The challenge, of course, is how? According to my nieces, who, at 6 and 9 are experts on dating, the BEST way to find a decent, considerate, honest man who is your respected EQUAL in every way, is to simply wear lipstick. Ok then. (Mental note to self: be more girly, got it!) But if I don't find him here, I'll never regret the friends I have made in the meantime.
If you want to know more, read on. If not, have fun in your search and I wish you all the best!
What my friends and family say about me:
"Extremely industrious, incredibly strong, equally determined, bold, outgoing, fun and fiercely loyal." (Must be the Taurus in me, so we can't omit stubborn, its part of my charm.
)
What strangers say about me:
"You are WAY cuter in person". "Great smile!" "Nice skin!"
What I say about me:
I am kind, affectionate, giving and not afraid to communicate what I want or need. (Or are you psychic??
)
I will not ask people to do things for me that I can do for myself.(Back to stubborn)
I may be curvy but I am very fit(run/walk everyday)and as strong as an ox. (Think you can keep up??
)
I have a "tom boy" side.(I am handy and I bait my own fish hooks.
)
I also have a "girly" side. (I shave my legs, like to feel pretty and generally clean up nicely! Just ignore my shoe addiction.
)
I sometimes have a busy work schedule but I do make time for everyone who is important to me.
I don't do options, only priorities. I'm a no BS kinda gal. Don't be offended.
I speak English, French and Spanish, not Diva or Princess. In addition to said languages, I can curse in Italian, Punjabi and Croatian; it comes in useful when I am travelling alone! LOL
Your Sex Appeal Factor:
You live in my postal code (or a decent drive - my truck is a pig on gas)
You can take control on the dance floor.
You smell nice.
You think a confident woman who can look you in the eye and challenge you is hot.
You can talk dirty to me in French and/or Spanish (that is, eventually, after we are dating, not on the first IM you dirty pig!!!!).
You are not intimidated by woman's best friend, "BOB" (this is a deal breaker LOL).
You are open minded and unpossesive.
Ok so that list seems pretty inclusive. All JOKES aside, sex appeal = sharing core values. This is the essence of any lasting, meaningful relationships. And you can't discover if you have those important commonalities without intelligent conversation ( I am not as blond as I look!!! Which is why I became a red head...)
Most importantly: Be real. Be true.
I prefer emails first, then IM's. It is part of my 12 step dating program. If you read this far, welcome to step one. (LOL) Helps weed out the freaks, weirdos and "Hey, how's it goin" one-liners. Once we have set up a comfortable rapport then I am pretty flexible and always up for new adventures.
