How to find the one by vwruleschick

"It was unexpected, but I couldn't have imagined anyone else to fulfil my need as my soulmate as he did."

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

Patience - it is a learned art that I am still not good at

    flankdubtechnojazz Ii determined to be happy even if I havn't found a reason to live yet

    How do I do this? 1 week ago

    I feel like the most self-conscious person on the planet and maybe I’m not but I’m not good at hiding it. Whenever I’m see people I know when I’m out with people that make me look weird I get embarrassed when I know I shouldn’t. If something seriously embarrassing happens, I’m either incredibly angry, or incredibly sad whereas most people would just laugh it off or get over it. I’m still getting over something that happened over a year ago, I hate all of those people so much put I’ve never hurt any of them. Anyway, I don’t know how I would ever ask anyone out ever. Also, I see myself being rejected and I can’t get that negative image out of my head.

    I’m on my journey to find “the one” for me. It’s something for which I’ve waited far too long.

    I think I’ve found him. The problem is, we’re both thirteen and I’m not even sure if he likes me (anymore).

    Intimidating. 12 months ago

    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.
