"Settle for my love.." H-e-l-l Nah!!

Sike!!! It seems that there was a sign posted over my head once I became single a couple of weeks ago that said I was desperately seeking someone…News Flash—NOT TRUE!!

I love being in love, don't miss me--I love to cook, nurture and back it up all in the name of L-O-V-E but one thing my last relationship did for me was show me that I did not/do not have to settle. I will admit that in times gone by I would tolerate/settle for things that I surely should not have. Whether it was a person whose belief system was different than mine or someone who had nasty habits that I did not share, desire, or enjoy—I allowed people in my life that just were not qualified. I have now placed a zero tolerance policy for these things on future relationships. I get that people are not perfect, I am not seeking perfection. I would however like peace. I do not curse so I don’t want to date sailor mouth Mike..I have one child so your 6 children are a bit much for me. I do not smoke so can you’re your black & mild or your Newport 100’s please blow your second hand smoke over there -->

I do not think that it is too much to ask and if it is, I am willing to be single and risk it. Settle and desperate are not synonymous with the word single...

So with that being said:

Random person #1: I appreciate the texts and phone calls but I have not seen you in ten years and I am suspicious of your intentions. It is flattering creepy that you care about me and desire to be with me and you don’t really know me like that. Honestly that seems like some female type stuff to me--but more importantly who wants to enter a long distance relationship after only talking to a person for a week or so, I am thinking you are a little lonely and I unfortunately am not the solution…

Random person #2: I love a person that is honest…however your admission to having 6 kids and 2 felonies takes you out of the running. It is good to hear that you have dreams and a plan. But potential has never saved a life nor will it be the foundation of any relationship. It was very nice interesting talking to you. Good luck with your probation/parole.

Random person #3: I am proud of you for all your accomplishments, it is awesome that you have known success in different business arenas we all desire prosperity. However, when I ask a question about your endeavors and your response is foreign to me you cannot get upset. I mean you are not the POTUS; I have not been on watch for your particular trade. I apologize that me not having heard of you or your business hurts but telling me to Google you was too much. (Sidebar: I did it because I really wanted to know what the individual was talking about—the article was from 2004 and only mentioned the person in two sentences. Chile boom!)

I am not desperate. I love me and I will not settle for something that causes me to sacrifice that..so for now I will enjoy being fabulous, flirty, free and of course Fly…
