In reality would like a cross of a few of them, however in general I'm not drawn to one or the other in particular and none really disuade me either.

I would have a problem with night crawlers or someome who constantly entertains at home. I like my/our private space - but always welcome family and close friends, unless the are over every day.

I'm the type, im very easy to satisfy as far as a type of person to date. no fuss kinda thing.

Do you find yourself meeting the wrong type of girls, or in relationships that don't work out? "You may be easier to get into than a community college."

If you are not selective enough, you might tend to meet all the wrong people, or if you are too selective you end up alone.

I wouldn't say I've been in bad relationships, I usually stay friends w/ most exes to a point. However, I had 2 bad relationships in my lifetime, one as an early adult and one around 27.

The one as a young adult, I chalk up to my maturity level of the time and not being the best of people to have one with and just poor selection.

My later I chalk up too the distance, it was around 5000 miles in between and in the end we both knew it wouldn't work, even after met face - face. There was no way to really make it work w/ her in Austrailia & myself living on Eastern Coast U.S.

That's a pretty good track record then.

ty, I'm very careful who I lend my heart too. The last above really sucked to lose, but I figure, all ya can do is grab yourself by the bootstraps and continue.
