"Congratulations! You get to go into the mind of me, Texas155, of Austin Texas. Good luck." - Nov. 23, 2008 "Texas155ology" I just want to thank you for taking the time to stop by and look at my page. I'm not a complicated man not even an intellectual, in the narrow meaning of the word. I've lived by my faith and emotions. I have created my own identity, on my own foundations, on my own terms. I try to fine tune my life. If I'm not happy with the way things are, I need to do something about it, It's that simple. Because life can change in an instant and I need to focus on the future, not the past. I feel that new friends can broaden my social and love horizons. I don't second guess love, because it can run hot and cold in the same day. I must be passionate and loving to receive the same response. I also realize that for love to enter my life, I must make sure that the door is open, and let go of all emotional baggage. Most of all take off the rose colored glasses and accept someone for who they are. True love could be right under my nose. Now if you think you've been messing up your love life. Then get over yourself, get serious, and get ready to find True Love. Work on yourself. You really do have to take care of yourself. Life can be hard, and we all have our demons. Working on facing them is the best way to prepare for meeting someone. After all, you're not going to be able to love another person, flaws and all, until you can do this with yourself. Don't overshare. The biggest lack of common sense, is sharing too much too soon. A first date isn't the time to give your entire history with your former love even if the person asks. You should not lie, but you should be vague. A better response to the ex question might be something like. Fortunately, that happened a long time ago, and I feel ready to move on. Then change the subject to something more first date appropriate. If you have more dates with this person, you'll share more details. But on your first meeting, some things are just not your date's business. Ditch the list. Do you have a long list of requirements that your true love will have to meet? Throw it away. Of course, you shouldn't settle for someone who isn't honest or respectful or otherwise doesn't fit your core values. But if you're broke, overweight and unemployed, it isn't realistic to demand a mate who's rich, ripped and has a prestigious job. Take your time. Don't rush to turn a date into a relationship. Casual dating is a great process to use as you try to find the right person. Even if you feel tremendous attraction on a date, pace yourself before getting serious. If the attraction is true, it will burn steadily instead of flaming out. A growing chemistry is probably much more healthy and long lasting.
