find Mr Right

I met Josh in December and we’ve been spending a lot of time together lately. I really, really like him and I can see this going somewhere. He’s wonderful because he’s completely open and honest and reliable and kind. He’s not afraid to talk about anything. He’s not afraid to talk about wanting marriage and kids someday, just in general. It’s a rare thing, and it’s so refreshing. He’s a fantastic kisser. It’s still all very new, but I am so happy and grateful that he is now in my life.

I’m going to find a good one in 2009. I am, I am, I am.

I deserve a good one.

So I’ve been on a lot of dates with a lot of different guys in the past year. Most of them were really nice, but just not for me. I am 23 now. I would like to find the right one for me.

I am totally picky and cautious when I am considering relationships with people. I cannot fake feelings I don’t have; it shows all over my face. I have actually been dating one guy for a little over a month now. He’s a great guy. Really smart and cute and affectionate and often funny. I enjoy hanging out with him, but sometimes he just drives me crazy with his weird gestures and the way he says things, etc. It seems petty and shallow, but I think: If he’s annoying me already, is it only going to get worse?

I’ll put it straight out there: I want to get married. Once. And I want to wait have kids for at least a couple of years after I am married because I want to travel (I’m a bonefied Wanderlust) and enjoy time with my significant other (and get my Master’s degree in the meantime) before we decide to try and expand our family. This freaks me out a little bit because I figure that if I met the right one in 6 months from now, I’d want to be with them for at least a year before we got married, and then if we waited 3 years until we had kids, I would be nearly 28! As women, doesn’t it feel like times a’ tickin’? Scary business.

I should also say, I don’t believe that there is only ONE person out there for each person. I feel like so many people would be screwed if that were the case! I believe that there are many people out there in the world who you would be perfectly happy to build a life with. It’s just about finding a balance between love and logic for me.

More later… This is a hot topic in my life right now… ;)
