seriously? i just want to be happy, that is completely independent of whether or not i have a man in my life.
now, i will say this, i am 28, and have honestly never been in a serious relationship. does that make me dysfunctional in some way? perhaps. but i have plenty of interaction with men and women alike to feel confident that i'm not a sociopath, and i'm really good at communication (even perhaps too honest sometimes).
i'm honestly not "seeking" a relationship. for whatever reason, it has just never happened, and i'm okay with that, for the most part. sure, sometimes i wonder why that is, but it doesn't paralyze me in any sort of way. and honestly, i'm actually pretty happy at the way things are going in my life. i've got many friends who love me very much, and a family who loves me most of the time
. i get to travel a lot, and i'm pursuing my doctorate. and, like i said, i do like to have some fun with the fellas.
like most women, i like to feel pretty and confident. i've no problem talking to guys, flirting, and having a little fun. now, i've dated every once in awhile, but nothing has ever progressed to something more serious and long term beyond that.
i'm not going to sit in my room and try to analyze the minds of the opposite sex all day long. some men's behaviors i do find questionable, but i do respect everyone as a unique individual, and try really hard not to make generalizations.
i'm independent, and love being free. i also have a fear of commitment, due to my situation growing up, so that might have something to do with it. but i still feel perfectly affirmed in who i am and my pursuits.
i want to be happy. women want to be happy. doesn't everyone want to be happy? instead of ripping out your hair trying to analyze yourself or the preferred sex, why not just go out there, meet people, enjoy yourself, and take life as it comes?
