My Life as a Rainbow: I'm Single and Ready to Mingle

Chapter 16:

I've been officially single for a good year now. I think it's time for me to start something new in my life. That's right, I'm talking about dating. You see, I used to be in a long distance relationship with my ex-girlfriend and unfortunately the relationship didn't work out because of the distance, along with other issues, which got to us and she broke it off. I decided to remain single after that since I wanted to be alone for a bit.



Now that I've had enough time to find myself and know what I want, I'm ready to start looking for a woman who has my interest. What do I look for in a woman? Good question. Here's what I think an ideal woman would be for me. You see, I tend to look for personality rather than facial features in women. Sure she can be the prettiest one, but if she has an ugly personality, then that's definitely a turn off for me. 

I would like my ideal woman to be smart. I want to actually have an intelligent conversation with her. I don't mind if she's smarter than me as long as she's not boastful about it. I want someone who is laid back. I mean there are moments where a person has to be serious but if that girl is serious all the time, I'll feel awkward about it. Since I tend to be a kid at heart, I want someone who is just as goofy as me. I want someone who loves to laugh since I like to make jokes and say the craziest things to make people laugh out loud. 

As a Scorpio, I tend to be a romantic. My ideal woman can be either romantic or passionate or both. I am a total hopeless romantic and I would be the one to go an extra mile on the romance scale. Honestly, trustworthiness, respect and patience are biggies for me. Especially patience since I'll admit that I can be too much to handle sometimes.

I have lots of flaws. But then again who doesn't? I want someone who can not only understand them but also accept them as well. I don't want a woman who uses my flaws against me. I hate that with a passion and I think it's one the worst things anyone can do. I also want someone who respects my career goals as well. If a woman thinks she can make me choose her over my career, then forget it. She'll be put to the curve. 

Of course these are just examples of what I look for in a woman. I don't have a required list that my ideal woman should fulfill. If she has most of the qualities that I look for then hey that's good. If she has half of them then they that's still good. Basically it all comes down to the fact on whether your personality interests me or not.
