I use to have this laundry list of what I looked for in someone. It started it out with the "givens"..honesty, faithfulness, emotionally available, sober, good conversationalist, responsible, financially secure, developmentally mature, good hygiene, accepting of my daughter, understands my love of horses, and of course, trustworthy.
I have dated people who were not those things...in one or more ways. I thought that I could ignore these characteristics I desired or I thought they had the potential for these things and in time would come around to them. I was just plain stupid in thinking that! But until recently, I was angry at them for not meeting up with my desires. Fairly recently I have pretty much decided that the real answer lies in me. I need to be all of the above and not quiver away from it when the other person doesnt seem to fit. Its ME that doesnt fit them! ME! So, I have worked hard at making sure I am secure in myself and that I have myself, what characteristics I want in someone else. right now I have a LDR with a very nice guy. We are moving very slowly...very very slowly....meaning no geographic changes, and no making decisions in our personal lives based on the other person. We love and care for the other...but we both are working on ourselves. Until we are ready, we simply arent ready for the Big Stuff. So...what I needed in someone, was for them not to grab for the brass ring when the ride just started. What I needed was to have that brass ring and enjoy it and wait awhile befire I am willing to share it with someone else, and not just give them a free ride. What I want, is to live happily ever after...and what I know, is I am doing that..with or without someone. I am the only one who can make me happy. Me. Someone can match me, like a twin, in happiness but I am not relying on anyone again, to do for me what I need to do for myself. I am so much calmer nowadays...lol.

I have never been the type that can't live happily unless partnered with someone...quite the opposite really. I will admit that I have gotten into a couple of relationships that I knew in my heart wouldn't work out....as my gut is never wrong....but when all of my friends are coupled and I was the only single going to all the events with them, it got old, so I thought I could make something work with someone. WRONGO G!
I have learned that I would rather be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones. Sachita is the one that mentioned secrets I believe (without going back and looking..correct me if I am wrong), and while I think everyone has skeletons in their closets, myself included, I think that secrets in relationships do not work out in the end. I try to be an open book to everyone I know...within limits of course, but I don't want secrets to come between us. Feelings get hurt, resentment starts, trust is damaged, and those are all things that are hard to overcome and move on from....yet they are all things that you need in any kind of relationship. One of my exes kept some things from me that my friends knew about, and after the break up, they all came to me and told me they knew...which then made me resent them in a way because they didn't come to me sooner. I thought my friends were supposed to be there for me....not just after the fact, but when it went down so that I didn't get hurt to begin with. I had to distance myself from them and when I see them out, they want to act like nothing is wrong and hang out like before. My grandma always said, "secrets don't make friends". Wise woman! So, I don't think secrets have any room in a relationship.

As others have stated I make myself happy. And I do enjoy my alone tiime, as well. That being said when I seek a partner I seek for starters basic things I need just for a friendship. I dont want someone in my life that isnt honest and who I cant trust. That being said here are the other things on my list per say :
Loyalty. Has staying power through good times and bad. Able to laugh Communication. Can talk to her about anything Someone my age or older Someone who lives in Dallas/Fort Worth Someone who can accept the fact that I do not have family. Someone who like me doesnt have or doesnt want kids Someone who doesnt have cats Very Affectionate Passionate Romantic Nurturing Sensitive Someone who will attend services with me Financially Secure Good Hygeine Kind to animals, kids and older people Someone who is monogamous What I will not tolerate is: Lying Cheating Abuse of any kind emotional or physical |

1. Should have the ability to cock one eyebrow at me.
2. Must like children, animals, and plants. 3. I’ll share my closet but not my bookshelf. Bring your own. 4. I don't mind weird but I don't do well with inconsistent. 5. Should be non-religious. 6. Unwillingness to let me push the cart in the grocery store is a deal breaker. 7. Never, ever compare my Italian Greyhound to a rat. |

I should add to mine
Someone who is a complete girly girl. But who isnt materialistic or stuck up. Down to earth, and funny, kind and sweet. Someone with a huge heart like mine... I love to spoil and pamper my partner. Someone who loves it but doesnt expect it. |

I have learned so much about myself this year!
I learned I need to be the Dominant in a relationship. I learned I need to be in a female run relationship...meaning regardless of what gender I date, *I* am the one who leads in the dance I learned I need to be the lead in bed too. And I need to be with someone I can reciprocate sex with. While I have enjoyed my time with Stone Butches, I know to be sexually satisfied, I need to be the one giving. And if *I* feel like it, he can give back. I learned I need this to be a 24/7 in and out of bed I learned I am not shy sexually and certainly not submissive. Assertive doesnt even begin to define what I am in this realm and trying to be anything different (a role I was taught to play from childhood) just wasnt working for me I learned that I am still coming into myself and am single for this reason. I dont want to mull it over while engaging with the energy of another person.

I am at the 3/4 part of my life.
I really don't have expectations anymore. I do want to have the freedom to do what makes me happy. As I would give you the same respect to have happiness. I don't want to have a list anymore, to much paper work to keep up with. I would like the respect part of the relationship to be there. I guess basically what I'm saying is when the right person comes along. It's most fitting to say both will be different, and it's up to the both of you to establish a well balanced relationship. You can't change anyone, nor expect them to change, because it's what you want. As relationships grow, we to change, and sometimes the change is together, other times there changes that are apart. If you grow apart, it's okay, because we all move at our own pace. Only then will you know if you can go on together or it's time to seperate. Which ever it is. The love and respect will always be there. Because no only were you lovers, but you are best friends, and friends are there no matter if your up or down. Once again, no more expectations in my life... Live hard, live fully, open your eyes........... |

at the risk of sounding needy I would rather say is that I do best with someone who is not afraid and can handle me! Someone who wants the same things in life as I do, someone who is not afraid to lock the chains to me...someone who is not afraid to cage me. Someone who is interested enough to see past the crap and to the next layer. Someone who is not afraid to give me what I really need especially when I need it. Someone who is real and lives and walks their own truth. Someone who is not afraid to tell me what they need and want. Someone who challenges me and puts me in my place when I push the line. Someone who is tender when it's needed and also throw me to my knees when it's time.. Someone who is not afraid to commit and capable of loving themselves enough to take care of themselves.. someone who takes responsibility seriously and acts accordingly. Someone who I can't live without. Someone willing to walk the walk... not just talk the talk.
and oh, must love dogs. |
