In a rip from Mel's page, I will showcase my current dating status. At the time of this post, it is more of a parody since I do not consider myself dating anyone at the moment. Still happily single but entertaining options that I fear will not turn up anything fruitful. Each time I engage someone, I seem to find little things that turn me off. This in turn makes me reflect on myself and question what I really want out of the people I choose to entertain. These introspections sometimes come during the actual date (as it has for the past few encounters), leaving me to give short answers and feign interest in the mundane details of someone's life.
The thing that comes up most in what I look for is someone to stimulate me intellectually. No matter how much game you run; how big 'it' is; how attractive you are, it all fails if you can't draw my attention to something other than those things. I operate in a way of obsession and addiction, taking in all that I can, as much as I can to digest and process it. Things of physical nature don't last too long with me. This is the biggest hurdle to overcome, but surely getting through it will open up layers of myself that are reserved for my closest and most intimate friends.
I feel you. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and see how they are for a while, but if they can't pass that ultimate test, there just won't be any compatibility. Admittedly the visual is what comes first... I can go gaga over some trade, but when i get down to it, I make sure they are intelligent and engaging. LOL
