Personally, i've never dated anyone with kids. Am i turned off or afraid by this? Turned off, no. Afraid, yes. What single person wouldn't be. It's a huge lifestyle change. However, if i'm interested in someone, it wouldn't deter me in the slightest. I would give it my all, try to be the best possible father figure i could, and a good boyfriend/husband.
I'm just curious, seems i have this problem on here. I know a lot of people simply use the forums, as they have made a lot of friends on here. In any case, back to the subject of this post. I browse profiles, and the forums, many times a day, if i see one i think is interesting, i will send them a flower, and if it really piques my interest, i'll send them an e-mail to go with it. After being here 2 months, one person has responded, that's it. Kinda disheartening, makes me wonder why a lot of people really are here. Granted, i can't be a match with everyone, but i know i can use friends, and would think at least some of these people could as well, and maybe a simple hello would be all it takes to start a friendship, or more. Sorry for the longwindedness, just getting a little frustrated, and wondering if anyone else has these same problems.
I've been listening to a lot of music lately, as it lets me escape, and allows me to just be free. I have always liked the song perfect situation, by the band weezer, but i really, really listened to the lyrics tonight, and it hit me like a rock. It's me. How many of you out there can identify with this? Here are the lyrics.
What's the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain. There's the pitch, slow and straight. All I have to do is swing and I'm a hero, but I'm a zero.
Hungry nights, once again Now it's getting unbelievable. 'Cause I could not have it better, But I just can't get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto. And just pass through...
Get your hands off the girl, Can't you see that she belongs to me? And I don't appreciate this excess company. Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander... Can you blame her?
Tell me there's a logic out there. Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come. Tell me there's some hope for me. I don't wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth.
I'd be lying if i said looks don't matter at all. However, i have found over the years, that my idea of what is physically attractive is not the "norm". Personality is more important, i don't want to be with a pretty woman if she annoys the hell out of me. I made that mistake years ago, and thankfully learned from it.
I have many thoughts on the subject, but don't think now is the time or place. I will simply say one thing: Love. I have the capability to love, that keeps me going on.
