Ok.. So I've gone on a few dates and can honestly say I'm attracting the WRONG people. Not complaining, please hear me out. My theory is I'm not taking this profile thing serious enough. Decided to talk to my closest friends and family to see how they feel about me. un-filtered.. Some things I knew already. Some things were surprising and a few things damn near shocked me! Here's what I gathered from our mini interviews. lol.
Here's some of what my closest friends had to say about me -
I'm compassionate, idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. I'm a healer and like to help others. People often use my shoulder for support and I tend to like to give advice. I need to find a balance between interfering and helpfulness at times (yeah.. stung a little). I pursue the skills to give me greater insight into helping others and may be a counsellor rather than just a sympathetic ear. I enjoy responsibility and like to lead by example rather than intention. I am generous, sympathetic and kind, and have no problem making personal sacrifices to help others. I'm a relationship guy. Sometimes the attention I receive surprises me. I have a desire for sweets (major sweet tooth..) and have the ability to communicate well across all age groups. I'm a realist about life and dedicated to my home, family and friends. I need to avoid thinking I can save the world at times. There are times I can tend to exaggerate and be a little self-righteous (yeah.. this stung like a bee!! but I see it, and am working on it! ;) I'm creative but they all thought I don't appreciate my natural gifts (to which I responded.. Natural?!?! Please.. it's hard work and dedication..) I'm charming and have good businees instinct (to which I said.. Thank you :) lol
Side note: Sorry this is sooo long and boring. In an effort to give this a real shot and discourage the "wrong" people.. this is very necessary, haha If you're still reading.. I wrote this for YOU.
Here's some of what my closest relatives had to say about me-
I'm impressionable and sensitive.I sense the feelings of those around me and the environment easily influences me.I love beauty and harmony in my world. I'm very affectionate and need to feel physical affection in return. I enjoy my solitude but mostly prefer to spend time with friends and family. I'm good at making people feel good about themselves and my insight into the universe persuades people to see my point of view (that one threw me off too, lol). I need to be quietly confident in my abilities (not gonna lie.. that one stung like a wasp!). I'm generous and sincere, almost to a fault. I'm dependable and loyal. I don't mind laughing at myself. I'm secure and trustworthy.
What does it all mean? In my own words..
I'm looking for a girl who also sees the bigger picture. Who can see traits that unite us rather than divide us. Someone who enjoys deep conversation and is capable of critical thinking, but also loves to Laugh and be silly. Life is really NOT that serious. Don't know if you've heard the news, but we all DIE in the end. I like reminding myself of that as often as possible. It reminds me to not leave things for tomorrow. And to try to be happy NOW. So why not live?
Oh yes. Not that any of this should really matter - But, in an effort to keep it honest, real and clear - I'm fit, a mans man and got a decent six pack. lol. I live ALONE and share a house with my Dog and best buddy Butters. Used to have a room-mate, but it didn't work out. Please don't feel bad - turned out good! One of us enjoyed using the stationary bike in his underwear. Won't say who of us was the perpetrator.. but I'll give a you a hint... ;) LOL
If you're still reading this (I commend you) and are somewhat interested or at least a lil intrigued and entertained.. Thank you. And please, HIT ME UP. Been looking for you, didn't think you'd exist! You're like a needle in a haystack the size of space!! Really. Feel special
