I’m on my journey to find “the one” for me. It’s something for which I’ve waited far too long.
How to find the one
How I did it: We met online in 2001, I was looking for friendship ONLY because I had just gotten out of a horrible relationship. We emailed back & forth for 4 months although we lived in the same city. Finally, we did meet with our friends for bowling, BBQs, etc & he finally took our strong friendship to another level in wanting to date me. Weird thing was, that I knew I was going to marry him before we even started dating him & marriage was the farthest thing from my mind. He proposed in May 2002 and we married in September 2003 and still going strong!
Lessons & tips:
- Stay true to yourself
- It is OK to be single
- Give yourself time to figure out yourself, your goals, and your dreams
- Best relationships are based on strong friendships & respect
- Keep your standards, don't settle for second best

I was told by a guy that I “intimidate” guys because I have a great personality, humor, and because I am attractive. I don’t get it. I understand how guys could be intimidated that I am a great package, but why run away? Why not run towards me, since I’m not anything to fear?
Of course, it doesn’t help that the guy who told me this had liked me and doesn’t have very great self-esteem. He said that most guys don’t feel they deserve me, and don’t pursue because I intimidate.
I know this was supposed to be a ego booster from him, but it made me feel actually worse.

Yeah, I haven’t found “the one,” and you know what? I really don’t mind. I’ve decided to stop this never-ending journey and just go on with my life. I’ve heard that you find so many things when you’re not looking. For example, you’re not looking for money and you find a penny on the ground. Well, love is like that. And it’s so frustrating, every day of my life remembering that I haven’t changed at all in the past 6 years of my life, and I probably never will.
It’s frustrating. It’s not healthy. It’s not … safe.
Sometimes you just need to let life go, and see where it takes you, and that’s what I’m doing.
