First Date?

Shared lunch, dinner or tapas would be great! I love different cuisines and I find that food brings people together and makes them more at ease.
I'm not a coffee drinker so a first date at the local coffee shop doesn't really do it for me! But apple cider at Starbuck's could be a great beginning or let's share a pizza slice on a bench in the park!

Girls Facts: Some Truth in There.

This little blurb is going around the internet these days, I'm posting it here because I find it interesting and I can related to some of the "facts".

When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind.

When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply.

When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around.

When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine.

When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying.

When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered.

When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it.

When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.

Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person .... Find a guy ...

Who calls you beautiful instead of hot.

Who calls you back when you hang up on him.

Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy who ... kisses your forehead.

Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.

Who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! "

Shall I Say More?

What's With That?

I have a profile on an Online Dating site and I received a notification yesterday that someone added me as one of his favorites. Always exciting to receive such news! Can’t type fast enough to get to my profile and check out this prospective suitor!
When we build our profile on that site, we get to pick an option for the type of relationship we’re looking for; some pick “Friends”, some “Dating” or Hang out”, I chosed "Long Term Relationship". My new fav picked “Intimate Encounter”. Humm, I thought, at least he know what he wants and he’s not afraid to say it.
But when I took a closer look at his profile, in the section where he gets to pick the criteria a member must fill before contacting him, I see that, amongst other criteria, we must “not have messaged other users looking for Intimate Encounter or Sex”…!!!!!
I DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!! Why is it ok for him to look for an Intimate Encounter but it’s not ok for us do it??? I need an insight into the male psyche!
And to top off his confusing profile, he wants a woman to live within 75 miles from him….but I’m 750 miles from him!! Why add me to his Favorite List? What’s with that??

Friendship Before Love or Love Before Friendship?

The friendship before love theory has never bore fruits for me but I think I mastered the friendship after scenario. I believe that all the men who passed through my life, left an impression which somewhat somehow shaped me into the person I am today. With the positives and the negatives. I try to forget most of the negatives and why the relationship went bust and keep contact with most of my exes, just because I care about the special people in my life.
A little while ago, I was talking to one ex and he expressed how his life was miserable right now. I have my own share of misery but he also asked for my help to give him a hand to organize a few areas of his home, since I’ve done such a good job with mine. His words!
So I spend this week-end organizing his closets and making suggestions for a few home decoration/improvement projects. Even though I feel I did nothing but do laundry, fold clothes and linens and put them in an organized manner, he was very grateful for my help and expressed how he now has the energy to do more.
The wonderful thing about this successful week-end of friendship, even thought we had a very unsuccessful relationship many years ago, is that we both left our pride at the door and expressed our respective needs for help. As I helped him deal with a seemingly insurmountable situation, he fixed one of mine too: my truck headlight bulb had been burned for months. Seems simple but I never seemed to be able to get it fix. I just had to express my problem and since it fitted into his skills, it was easy for him to fix.
It’s now a great balanced relationship where we can both use the other’s forte to make our own life a bit better

About Me

Looking for someone who eats popcorn by the handful, not just one kernel at a time! Life is too short not to grab every opportunity that pops up.

I’m a passionate, independent, adventurous soul, looking for the light of my life. I’m a very down to earth, tell-it-like-it-is (sometimes just a bit too straightforward, my friends tell me!) kind of gal, looking for Mr. Right - not Mr. Right Now!!

Never really been into the bar/club scene, but do enjoy going out every now and then to a pub and sitting down with a drink and good food. I also enjoy a quiet evening at home, with friends or a day trip to explore & discover the area.

No children(too late for that now), no exes lurking in the background; I'm independent, unattached, free and would like to share everything with someone special.

Looking for a special spark to get things going towards the right direction. Love a guy that can laugh at himself, has his stuff together and knows what he wants and is not afraid to go for it!!! Sense of humour is a definate; life would be just too long and boring!

Welcome!

I've decided to write about my adventures in the singles world. Some are funny, some are sad but they all made me who I am today!
Being single is no longer taboo (I hope!!), friends know that I always make light of my "situation" and is always on the look out for a lead for a good man. Whatever a good man is, it could very well be a bad boy!! How knows? Certainly not me, I haven't found him yet!!
I'll try to enlighten you as to who I am and what I'm looking for and I hope you will participate by sending your comments, recommendations and send your friends to my blog, the more the merrier!! And who knows, maybe HE will come along through this...
