All I want by AppleGravy
All I want is a relationship. Someone whom I can constantly trust to be there for me, someone to be physical and not have an issue about it, someone to share things with. Sure, I have someone similar to that already, but she's 2000 miles away and not interested in a real relationship with me, which I accept and it's cool. But things are still lonely. A friend, I want, a lover, I want, a fellow nerd, I want, and make sure they're not half bad looking, mmkay?
Such are the issues that arise when looking for a mate while having remarkably unrealistic standards. But therein lies another problem- why the hell are my standards unrealistic? Why aren't more people quality catches? sighs
And while I'm asking for things that are never gonna happen, I'd love a cushy, well-paying job, a house, no debt to worry about, and a keyboard whose o key doesn't stick. And as far as why I bothered tagging this... It's because I feel selfish and shallow anytime I think about the type of person I'd like to date. For having standards of society. Thanks, television.

Indeed. You seem to be popping up all over the place, heheh. Actually, I have had something that felt like the perfect connection. Dated them, and... It kinda fell apart. Lasted a whole 3 weeks. So caution will definitely be exercised here. In a way, this is more of a "Hey, I just wanna put things out into the aether" sort of journal. Poking fun at not only myself, but at the expectations of I'm guessing a lot of people. I just kinda wish people in general were higher quality~

Yeah, I get that a lot lol. I've got nothin' better to do, might as well be semi-productive, right?
Mm. I found someone who I thought would've been perfect for me. Dated for 4 months, but then it just crumbled. Still miss him terribly, despite knowing better. Even when you meet the "right" one, it might be at a bad time, or they could eventually show you that they weren't who you thought they were. Such are the lessons of life.
We're out there. Keep up the good fight.

For me, it's more of a "continue to learn fun ways to ignore the fact that you're waiting for time to happen", but it's all a ridiculous exercise anyway, or so it seems, lol. Here's to waiting for magic.

Oh hey, I remember you from your Musings journal. It might not be PC, but I see nothing wrong with being shallow; don't listen to TV please. A healthy, good looking person generally indicates they have a higher chance at survival and reproduction. We're hardwired for this, why be ashamed of it? "Being beautiful on the inside" doesn't increase one's survival chances, so it's generally selected against. I'd like my partner to look healthy, too, if I had one. Granted there are extenuating circumstances and it's only a piece of the puzzle. There needs to be something good on the inside, too.
Anyway. You're 20, right? Give it some more time, see the types of people you keep running into. I'm 25 now, and I can't begin to tell you how much every year changes you, how all kinds of people come into and out of your life. You know what you want, but not how to get it, right? Me neither. It's just dumb luck, and the only way to overcome dumb luck is to keep putting yourself out there subtly. Always talk, always get involved, be friendly. Even if it doesn't work 99.999999% of the time, all it takes is just once. One right connection.
Still waitin' on that myself, but, you know. I think your standards are fine. Don't compromise, or you'll just find yourself in an unfulfilling relationship.
