So I’ve been single for seven months strong… Well a little over six months. The single life is great and all, but let’s talks about what I miss from the relationship lifestyle.

It’s nice to have that one person to call your own. That one individual that you can get close with, someone you can cuddle up wit when neither of you have anything else going on. Going out, having fun… I mean I can go out with my friends, but let’s be real, it’s not the same.
Maybe I’m too picky? My friends seem to think its okay to try to set me up with their friends. Am I screaming “girlfriend needed?” I don’t think so! Even I miss being the semi – perfect wife for someone; I’m not that needy that I require my friends help in finding someone that I’m compatible with. As I expressed to my cousin a few moments ago on the phone, it’s been a long time before I felt that school girl crush feeling. Loving being around that “one” person that makes your heart melt. Remember the days sitting at home after school or work, on the phone for hours upon hours on the phone laughing, my mistake; giggling. Doing nothing at all but enjoying the sound of the person’s voice. You could be talking about nothing at all, the only thing that mattered was the fact that you liked them, enjoyed their company, and you were on the phone with them!

I miss Anniversaries! I’m not the one for short term relationships. I was speaking to someone a few days ago, and they were talking about how they thought long term relationships were a waste of time, because they felt like all that time spent with that one person was for nothing. I rather be in a relationship for a while, and moving on eventually with a lesson learnt. What the hell am I going to learn from someone in 2 weeks? ---- Anyway, I miss planning weekend getaways, hotels rented, shopping together, holding hands. Yeah, all of that “mushy” stuff. Well dammit, why am I still single then?

Fuck all that! I will not settle. I’m one choosy lover. I can deal with flaws like the other average person, but what the fuck I look like trying to “love” someone who I have no interest in?

Am I vain? You know what maybe I am! All I ask for is:
1) An attractive person
: if I have to look at you; I can’t be trying to divert my attention because you’re not good enough to stare at ; then I’ll be staring at all the other attractive people walking by

2) Intelligence
: you don’t have to be Bill Nye the science guy; but jeesh, is asking for someone that is book smart, street smart, and has common sense too much to ask for? I’ve come across a few people who weren’t in line when God was giving out common sense. No scarecrow chicks around here please. “Oh I wish I had a brain! I wish I had a brain!” [Aly, will have a chuckle off that one]

3) Income!
: I’m no princess, although I’d like the think that sometimes, but who the hell do I look like paying for everything. Yeah I have money, and I work for it, get up off your ass and make some too, & stop blaming it on the recession!

4) Faithful & Honest
: I absolutely positively despise liars. It’s simple; be loyal and don’t lie to me because I can smell a lie from a mile away. You can expect the same from me.

5) Be secure
: Don’t be jealous when I go out of chill with my friends. Don’t question my friendships! I am faithful and honest. Just because your ex left you for a friend don’t mean I will. My friendships are just that; friendships; nothing more, nothing less.

6) I hate being questioned
: so don’t do it! I’m a grown ass woman, I don’t have curfews, and I don’t need to be questioned about where I’m going, who I’m going with, or what I’m doing. I’m respectful, I won’t be doing anything that I wouldn’t want you doing, so is it too much to ask for you to trust me?!

I’m sure we all have a long list of our perfect match, but I’m not looking for perfection… I get bored quickly! I’m just asking for her to posses six small but large requirements, and if not, I’m not interested! I suppose this is why I’m still single right? Wait, wait I just thought of number seven.
7) Sense of humor
: keep me laughing & smiling and we’ll be just fine.

I want to experience that school girl crush feeling, or am I too old? I think not!! I just keep getting bombarded with all these non compatible females!

Well that’s all for now folks! Talk to yall soon.
Smooches!
