Relationships?

My Take on Them

To start this off, we'll begin with one quick question:

Have I ever been in a relationship before?

The answer: no.

Why? Honestly, by choice.

I find myself to be a VERY picky person, so when it comes to dating, I'm not going to just allow any random person to just walk into my life and throw it off course (not saying that they WILL do that though, haha). But I want someone who I'm attracted to mentally and physically. Like, no, I'm not the type to date someone solely based on looks, because that's not right; however, looks do play a role into the equation. I'm not going to date someone who I, myself, am not attracted to, because, as they say, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." I may find a guy cute, but my friends may not (nine times out of ten, this is the case, lol), but this ties into the mental attraction part. If I find out this dude is not only dumb, but his personality is trash...then he ain't the one for me. I don't care if he's the "most handsome man on Earth," I don't want no guy with a dull, boring, and lame personality. So I guess, at the end of the day, personality reigns higher than looks, and that's moral. But I still prefer both though :) .

On the note of being picky with others: I'm picky with myself. I feel like I want my life to be a certain way, and going down a certain path before I just allow someone to be a part of that journey. Call me selfish if you want, but I just couldn't bring upon my draining energy on someone else. When I say "draining," I don't mean boring or bad personality. I just mean that I have a lot going on with myself mentally and I wouldn't want to bring that onto someone else. They might think I really am selfish for focusing on myself and my own issues if I were their girlfriend. I just want stability with myself first before dating someone because I am not totally comfortable with things going on in my life. I'm being very open because I know there are people out there going through the same thing and probably need to know that they aren't alone in this situation. But, no, I am not 100 with myself, although I am working on it and improving every day. I will reach that pinnacle one day where I want to be in a relationship, but until then, I'm chilling and working on me.

Do I understand relationships?

Simply put, I don't completely understand relationships, but I definitely have the gist of them. I get great ideas from relationships because of my relatives/friends. It's like everyone wants advice about relationships from the girl who hasn't even been in one before, hahaaa. It's okay though. I give great advice and I also receive great advice. From always being on the outside peeping in, I've learned a great deal about handling a relationship, the pros & cons, the good, the bad, and of course, the ugly. I learn so much that I just appreciate being single even more.

Single, for so long?

Yes, being single my ENTIRE life has been struggling, I guess. But it took time for me to realize that I'm okay with it. No sense in rushing myself into something that I'm not ready for. I just dealt with a lot of wondering simply because I wanted to at least experience being in one. It just gave me more time to help and better myself. So, at the end of the day, I became content with it.

How do I write topics on relationships?

Even though I haven't been in one, as stated above, I've received a lot of info on relationships through others. Plus, I reach talking stages with guys from time to time. Feels like a relationship but really isn't, haha.

Will I ever be in one?

The future holds everything. I'm not pressed to be in a relationship, so again, I'm literally just chilling. I'm still attracted to guys every now and then, but it's not like I'm pressed on looking for anything. I'm so oblivious to relationships now that I don't even realize half the time when a guy is flirting and/or interested in me, LOL.

So, now that you know all this information, I am currently living life, enjoying my fun moments of being single, and doing me.

Hope you all liked this post, could relate to it, yadda yadda, LOL. :D
