Ready to settle down

After being single for a couple of years, after dating various guys, after various one-night stands (and some that lasted for two nights), I think I'm ready to finally settle down. By settle down I don't mean getting married, but simply being in a relationship. I want to experience something new now. Melissa O'Neil, who won Canadian Idol a little while ago, has a great song called "Alive". The chorus is as follows:

I wanna run with the reckless emotion

Find out if love is the size of an ocean

Even if I crash down and burn out

At least I'm gonna know what it's like to feel alive

That is exactly what I want to do. My goal for this year is to fall head over heels for someone. Obviously not just anyone. They must go through a vigorous screening process. Every girl needs to make sure the guy that she's with isn't going to be:

1) a creep

2) an asshole

3) different when he's with his friends

4) a pansey

5) unable to stand up for himself

6) unable to crack a good joke

7) short (I got nothing against short guys, but I just like 'em tall)

and so forth...

I will chronicle the search for the perfect man.

Day1:

I have met a potential guy for me. He's tall, he wants to be a doctor (a pediatrician to be more specific), and he has a deep voice. From what I can tell, he's very intelligent and he's got a great sense of humour. He could be a potential "man" for me. The only problem is: I met him in training for my job, and I have no contact information for him. Oh well, maybe I'll see him during one of the events on campus. This man, will forthwith me known as Doc.

And so the search continues.
