I am more or less a lurker on this board. Been single for far too long (3 years plus) and not even a date in between. Found a poem by a woman which related well to me. I let go of the idea of finding a perfect man long ago but looking for a good man is just as hard. Anyway, what are your thoughts? Poem below:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Fussy!
Me?
No way
Desperate?
Maybe
But hopeful as always
Starting to wonder
Will it ever be
Will I ever meet
The man of my dreams?
Not that I’ve dreamt about him either
He does not even show up there
Unless I am day dreaming
Which is not quite the same

Fussy!
Me?
No way!
Brown skin
Black short hair
A job
A little cash…maybe more
Six foot tall
Good teeth
Fresh cologne
That’s all

Fussy!
Me
No way
Desperate
I am afraid
Starting to sound like a stuck record
A woman unsure of herself
Needing approval
Wanting a man
Not that I need one
But damn it would be nice
Guess I will just keep looking
For now daydreaming will have to suffice

Thanks for coming out of lurkdom. :) My thoughts:

Six foot tall -- I'd settle for 5'10" - just barely taller than me
Good teeth -- um, yeah, I'd say this is a must
Fresh cologne -- change this to clean shirt, I don't even need cologne
That’s all

Starting to sound like a stuck record -- totally, thinking my friends are sick of me; part of why I come here instead to vent
A woman unsure of herself -- this week, unfortunately, yes
Needing approval -- nope, not needing approval, just love and someone's arms around me
Wanting a man
Not that I need one
But damn it would be nice -- yeah, it sure would
Guess I will just keep looking
For now daydreaming will have to suffice --- sometimes even the daydreams hurt too much

AJ, enjoying life with C.
