All a girl wants...

I've been told many times in recent weeks that I need to write a book about my on-line dating adventures...the good, the bad and the ugly....we'll start with an entry to my blog ;) To say the least, it has been an adventure. I have been lied to, asked for money and iTunes account information, sent fake photos (thank goodness for reverse Google image search), sent photos of naughty parts, and solicited for sex many times from various parts of the country and world! On a good note, I have made a few friends that I have met in person, who will hopefully remain friends in my life. I've been contacted by every age, nationality and type you can think of. From 20 years old to 82...The younger ones seem to want just a bed buddy, asking for nudie pics within the first 5 minutes of chatting on-line. They are super eager to show you what they have to offer, so to speak. And the older ones just want a nurse to take care of them and their "needs". They claim to be "financially secure and physically able". It's disturbing what people think they can buy with money. So in my search for romance, I have been disappointed and deceived. So I wonder to myself, where are the truly great guys? The ones who like a woman for what she has to offer in personality, not physical features. The ones who respect a woman enough to get to know them before even thinking about sex. The ones who are romantic and want a future with someone...a real relationship, not just a quick meet up and roll in the sack. The ones who don't care if I have money in the bank or if I'm broke. The ones who know how to treat a woman and are willing to develop a friendship and true relationship. The ones who can handle some "junk in the trunk" :) Where are you? A favorite quote of mine is from Marilyn Monroe..."All a girl wants is for one man to prove to her they are not all the same." I was told by a friend that I'll have to kiss a lot of toads before I find my prince...It's getting tiring and frustrating kissing the toads....talking to the toads, weeding through the toads, having to Google the toads to figure out if the toads are even real...yuck. Is it really too much for a woman to expect to find someone who is respectful, fun, honest, hard working, passionate with a sense of humor? Someone who can carry on a conversation about most topics, make me laugh everyday, appreciate the things I do and look at me with loving eyes? I don't think so. I was told I am brave for continuing my search...which reminds me of another quote I love..."Sometimes you have to go out and look for Prince Charming because the poor fool might be lost." So, yes...I will continue to search. I'm smarter now and the experience has taught me a lot about trust and deception. But is has also been fun and entertaining. I know you're out there, Mr. Right...I just need to find you! :)
