So what's the deal?
I'm not bad-looking by most people's standards, I reckon. I mean, I'm no Megan Fox, but I would consider myself above average-looking right. I mean I'm some lame-ass pageant finalist and 1st runner-up (as lame-ass as it is) and that must mean something, I'm hoping.
I'm a truly interesting person. I'm funny, I'm witty, I make dry, sarcastic, sometimes senseless but hopefully amusing remarks, and I always have an opinion which I'm willing to share... and after a nicely passionate light-hearted debate, agree to disagree in the end.
I'm intelligent. OK, so the Degree's a bit of a fluke, but I CAN plow through a thousand page textbook and understand it if I need to. Beyond just that, I'm street-smart, I solve problems, I have an unbelievable amount of EQ and empathy and I can relate to people just as well as others can relate to me.
I'm a good influence on people. I'm charming, charismatic. I host events, parties, fashion shows at others' requests because people love my energy, style and fun-loving nature which makes everyone relaxed enough with each other to get hyped up with fun. My students from 2 years ago STILL continually message me because they truly feel a connection with me, and when I listen, I LISTEN because I really care.
I say exactly what needs to be said, when it needs to be heard, by whoever whose hurt needs to be fixed at exactly the right times.
I've stopped being as clingy as I used to be, and am so much more focused on who I am as a person. I love my family ferociously, I make it a point to keep in touch and keep as close a connection to my friends as I can, I am uber protective of all my loved ones, and I stand for peace, justice and everybody's growth and happiness.
So my question is - why haven't I met Mr Right? What's up the the less than eligible people I have been seeing. Dude, 25 (almost 26) years on this Earth, do you realize by now how HARD it is to have 2 people meet and have a CONNECTION with each other and have Peace cascade down peacefully in their little worlds?
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not whinging about some asshole dude who cheated on me, or some weirdo freak who stalks. It's not even about the big things. That's the problem, we can't even get past the small things - like pettiness, or mindgames, or bad tempers, or lack of motivation, or lies, or inability to express.
A friend whom I had lunch with told me that if SHE can find loving, understanding, sweet, yet manly (and straight) Mr Right who doesn't have some horrible history with an asshole father leaving him an angry, distrustful and grudgeful person... So can I.
Pardon me. I choked.
So this is completely eluding me at the moment, and I'm pretty sure the problem potentially lies with me somewhere, but yes, while I sort that part out... The big awesome question I'm asking right now is: Where have all the good, eligible bachelors gone, and how do I get them to find me?
I am THIS close to making this some Bachelorette column because this is fucking ridiculous, and on some strange obscure level, terribly amusing, I'm sure.
