Are you looking to date with the possibility of it growing into a relationship?

Yes I am now in the mood to seriously start dating men. I'm tired of the casual hook ups with boys. I'm tired of meeting people in the club. I'm getting older and maturing, so I think its time for me to get a lil deeper in the relationship aspect of life.

Are you dating as a sport?

Dating as a sport was something that I picked up towards the last half of 2007. I must admit that there is really a thrilling high that you get from dating so many people at one time. It was something that I needed to experience and go thru because for a long time I was fixated on getting the attention of one male in particular, who was less concerned at being receptive of me. It made me open up more to males and I got to meet and be involved with different types. It was a real experience of getting to know what qualities I liked and didn't.Then I fell for one, and it was pretty much a wrap after that. I can say that it was an experience but nothing I want to try again any time soon.

Are you looking for sex?

Negative. You don't have to date just to have sex. I could stand outside and scream off my porch that I'm trying to have sex and some non-serious person would hop to the opportunity. I'm tired of just having sex with someone. Sex is just sex, and nothing has to come along with that. Ive caught feelings for a small few with nothing coming back in return. I want something more than a sexual relationship with someone. There has to be deeper connection out here to have with a man than them just putting their dick deep inside of me!

Are you dating because you are scared of being alone?

If you would have asked me this a couple of years ago, I would have said HELL YEAH. I thought that I had to be with someone to feel complete. I wanted to be with someone so bad. I was reckless. I probably looked like a desperate chick out to attack. I was trying to turn everything into a relationship with any boy that crossed my path. Then, I went through a personal healing period in which I didn't talk to any boys. It was then that I realized that it wasn't necessary for them to make my life complete, for them to make me happy. A true test is to be able to stand alone-- which is a very hard to face in the beginning.

I love being single. I can go out and meet and mingle with whoever. I have no one to answer to. I can have a fun and random lifestyle in which the only person I have to please and answer to is me! But I'm ready to share me...

Do you feel pressure from family and friends?

My family really doesn't get in my business about who I'm dating. I have a mantra that whenever there is a serious relationship, they will meet the person other than that it is no need to be concerned about the person because they are not that serious. I'm careful about who I let come to my house and who people I know meet. There has been very few that have been exposed to people in my life. As far as my friends, my best friend is getting married so hell yeah I'm in a rush to find my husband! SIKE. Nah, I have friends who are in relationships and then I have friends who are single like me. To each is own and no one person influences me to be on either side of the fence. The time will come for me...I BELIEVE IT!

Interesting. How do you rate?
