Reflection

I must sound like that old man who lives in the neighborhood and hates it when children walk on his property. I don't really hate everything and everyone. There are just a lot of things that I find annoying and all I am trying to do is expose you (my readers...there must be at least 3) to them.

In the past twenty or so minutes, I have been reflecting on my previous post. I don't hate couples. I don't hate seeing couples who are clearly in love. Just because I struck out does not mean that I get to rain on everyone else's parade. It also does not mean that I have some sarcastic, jaded view of what a relationship should be. I like love. It's a great feeling. I enjoy being with someone with whom I can share passions, ideals, aspirations, etc.  But I've found that, at this point in time at least, the pool of women who have a similar concept of what a relationship should be is slim.

I really want a partner. Someone that I can support, through good times and bad. Someone with whom I can do fun things. Someone who I can respect and support in their goals and aspirations. And someone who will do those very things for me. Someone who understands what they want and who they are. This is a person who I could see having a future with.

See? I'm not really an 80 year old, crotchety shut-in posing as a college student. In fact, I think my heart just grew three sizes...wait...maybe not. In any event, I just wanted you all to see that I do enjoy things, and that I have the same needs and desires as everyone else. Relish this moment, because another one like it is not going to happen any time soon. Back to the Grinch cave.
