RAISE THE LEVEL OF LOVE IN MY LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP.

And we just moved in together. Although this will always be a goal I’m constantly maintaining, I feel like I’ve accomplished getting into and staying in a long term relationship. Frankly, it was easier to get into than falling off a log, and although there have been a few bumps in the road here and there, we’re rock solid. My primary advice to those out there looking is to forget about everything you think you want in a partner, date EVERYONE, and practice being loving instead of critical.

He’s a great guy, and although we have our ups and downs, the relationship is fantastic. I really love him. Will we marry? I don’t know. But the love is growing.

It’s been over a month. Still going strong. Still expanding my love.

It’s been almost a month. I’m spending Thanksgiving with him. Yay!

Someone wonderful. via online dating. Who would have guessed? :) So far, it’s going really well. Stay tuned.

I joined match.com. I have a date tomorrow morning with someone who, so far, seems wonderful. World, wish me luck!

I have definitely started re-investing in my friends. That was a good first step. I’m going to join a dating service. That’s my second step. I’ve written my little descriptive “blurb”. I still have to take a couple pictures. I’ve always been sort of wary of these things…but it seems pretty innocuous. At the very least it will get me out into the world, and help me to take a new risk.

I decided the first step was to re-invest in all my friends, and start putting more effort into my social life in general. So that’s what I’m working on.
