About Me

I make mistakes, I'm not perfect, I'm out of control, sometimes a lil crazy, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.As with material possessions or professional achievements, relationships give our ego a method by which to identify who we are to the outside world. The problem is that we attach so much of our identity to the external appearance of our relationships that we lose touch with the parts of ourselves that are wise and conscious. The attachment to this false identity leads to a feeling of desperation rather than fulfillment. After all, without the relationship, or the job, or whichever other false identity we have chosen, who would we be? Besides the ego identification, it's easy to develop a dependency on companionship. That independent person that we once were starts to evaporate. Our mind becomes fogged and as our self-identification begins to attach itself to the other person, unconsciously or consciously, we become afraid to lose that person. We become dependent on that person and fearful of loneliness. Out of our emotional insecurities, we start to become needy and to seek out validation from our partner. So, *** focusing on the celebration of love and partnership, it becomes a game of how to protect ourselves from loss. Out of a desire to avoid appearing needy and out of a fear of losing our partner, we start to filter what we say. In doing so, we do not communicate our needs clearly, openly or bravely. We somehow become convinced that our partner will magically know what to do to fulfill our needs. When our needs are not met, we secretly blame the other person and begin to resent them. When we are unhappy, our partner will pick up on the clues, and in turn, secretly resent us, thus starting a vicious cycle in the silent destruction of a romantic partnership. So much of what needed to be said was not said, and bad feelings are bottled up and start to accumulate for both parties. Have you ever had a friend come to you and complain about all of the things they are unhappy about with their partner? Those are the kinds of things they should be telling their partner, if they actually want a change. Worse yet is when one partner openly communicates their needs only to find that the other party is simply not listening, or does not fully acknowledge what was said, or makes them feel guilty for having those needs. Deep down, we are all really good people. But this doesn't mean that any combination of two good people will make a good partnership. There is such thing as a bad fit, and it is okay to admit it. The best fits are ones where the most important values for both people are met. They must have life goals that align with one another and have a mutual attraction, understanding, and level of respect for each other. Both people must be committed to making the partnership their top priority. Sometimes, even when we realize that our relationship isn't a good fit, we justify staying in it with what seem like logical reasons. We may feel that we won't find another person who accepts and loves us as much as the current partner. Or we may be afraid to be alone, so we simply settle by default. Each time we are reminded of the bad fit, we brush it under the rug and distract ourselves with some other thought. We may feel that we are doing a service to the other person by staying in the relationship, but in reality, we are hurting them by not being honest with them and ourselves. And we are accumulating bad feelings and bad energy in our inner space. The problem comes when we find ourselves in a relationship and we are constantly comparing our partners with this conjured-up "perfect" person. When that happens, we stop appreciating our partner for all the beautiful qualities they do possess. The truth is this perfect person does not exist. More importantly, we may not actually need all of these qualities in a partner to be extraordinarily happy. What we need is to identify the most important qualities that we must have in order to feel satisfied and fulfilled . By not having identified the must-have qualities in our chosen life partner, we end up settling, and since the person cannot give us the things we truly need, we start to resent them. This will snowball into larger issues. In life, we will get random results if we have not specified what we want. Identifying and understanding what it is that we need in a relationship, allows us to set clear intentions, and in doing so, moves us closer to realizing our intended desires. I'm up for anything fun.........

    Woman. 31 years old. Zodiac sign: Scorpio.

    Looking for: man. In age: 28-38

    I like to go to movies, shoot pool, hang out with friends. I love watching sports, football being my fav :) Go Bears! I have a tad bit of a smart ass type of humor. I have all the seasons so far of Family Guy on dvd. I'm a very chill girl that does not do drama. The bar/club scene is not my deal but once in awhile its fun but definitely not a place I see myself meeting a great guy at. I dont play mind games and I'm looking for a guy who knows what he wants and says what's on his mind. I have my own home, been working at my job for over 10 years, gotta love paying bills :) I try to eat healthy and visit the gym (love those endorphins). If you want to know more about me feel free to shoot me a message. I'm seriously looking for something real not something right now so if you are not seriously interested in getting to know someone on the off chance that it could lead to something you have to put thought, trust, and emotion into you can save time writing me and me reading your message and look for the girls with the "hang out" or "intimate encounter" status :) I believe a first date should consist of having conversation so a movie is not the best idea. I also like the guy to be creative and come up with the 1st date scenario :)

    Woman. 32 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 29-39

    I enjoy the challenges of everyday life. I'm always looking forward to the future and finding the good and fun parts of it. I enjoy trying new things. I also enjoy bike riding, volleyball and the Cardinals. Sarcasm is a spice of life. I know to admit when I’m wrong. I love my job, with the occasional not so much today. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family. I surround myself with excellent people, great food and good music.. The man that I am looking for wants the same and also wants to get the most out of his life. You are curious about the world around you, and generally happy. I truly appreciate it when a guy opens a door for me. A first date would be to grab a drink and go from there.
