Quoting softncudly:
Life is very busy these days. It's so easy for me to get caught up in the day-to-day activities that I don't always think of life down the road. Up to now, if I were to think beyond my box, my mind always goes straight to thoughts of my daughters who live three hours away from me in NW Indiana, up by Chicago. I thought that my life was full enough and, it is, but lately I find there is something missing.
Lately I've been seeing that I miss having someone to share things with on an intimate level. I've been divorced 5 years now and have been through all the ups and downs that going through a divorce brings; the sadness, anger, guilt, emptiness, all of that. This past year though the feeling of wanting to complete my life keeps getting stronger and stronger. I guess it's time for me to get back out there and start looking.
I've grown very particular as I've gotten older. Not in an arrogant or snobby way, I'm still as nice as can be to everyone just because I think being nice is the right thing to do. What I mean is that, after years of self-assessment and discovering that I can make my own choices, I pretty much know exactly the type of man I want and feel secure enough to pass on the men that don't fit the type. Maybe my requirements are restrictive by some people's standards but I've kissed enough frogs....time for a Prince or two.
If I could create my perfect man it would be simple; dark black skin, tall, nice build, hard-working, independent, free from past baggage, funny, cuddly, open-minded but not too much so, generous, honest, healthy, happy-spirited and joyful by nature.
I do believe there are a lot of men like this out there. My perfect man would come from Chicago (the city, not the suburbs)and live in a nice apartment or townhouse. That's not written in stone because love knows no boundries, right? I'm a Midwestern girl and I absolutely LOVE Chicago. This is where I feel most comfortable and at home. I also love the plains and the farmlands where I live now. Farm people are as basic as the earth itself. Good, hard-working, friendly people that always have a smile for you if you make eye contact. They love God, they love the land, they love their families and they love America. For me, with all due respect to the rest of the country, the midwest is the place to live, Illinois or Indiana.
So, I guess the search is on for me in 2010.
