This person can exist because I have met her in bits and peices. I have dated dollops of her, I am good friends with fractions of her, I have proposed to portions of her, and even once made a significant subset of her my significant other. She is passionate and romantic but not at the expense of her intellect. She's sexy and wild but never inappropriate: she'll go to the fetish club and the black tie soirée and not be out of place or uncomforable at either - there's even a good chance she'll pull them both off in the same dress. Friday she'll go to the pub and drink a pints and talk about philosophy and comic books. Saturday morning she'll shop for antiques and speak of laquers and varnishes, but Saturday night she'll down drinks that could peel paint and dance like she's kicking someone's ass in boots that make her ten feet tall and while wearing plasitc hair. She knows the bartender that freepours. She has one foot in the 19th century and the other in the 21st. Sunday she'll do the Times crossword waiting for Sunday brunch and spend the afternoon sipping coffee and listening to jazz while she makes art that I am envious of but not competative with. She'd rather have her name mentioned in a textbook than have a baby. She won't want to move in with me but she'll want to get an apartment in the same building. She'll be able to put on a black dress that makes you want to bite your hand like Squiggy and dance in a swishy way that makes you shut your eyes at work on a Wednesday afternoon and smile a private smile and makes the pile of crap on your desk go away just for a minute while you remember how she looked. And when work is out of control and you need to bring some of it home and work late, she'll sneak up behind you and kiss your neck while you are working and put a coffee beside you. She'll call you on your shit but not make you feel like shit while doing it. She'll go walking in the park with you and make fun of dogs. She's a city girl who'd rather go to a night-club than take a walk in the woods as a general rule, but she'll love the ocean and the mountians and visiting places like Duncan and Tofino. She's challenging, but rarely frustrating. She won't leave and argument unfinished and refuses to go to bed mad. When she's tired she curls up on the couch with the cats to read or watch TV and wants you with her.

I don't think she is impossible. Just very, very difficult to find.

I'd settle for a girl who embodies half of those things..and even that is hard to find...but then again maybe we aren't meant to find her she is meant to find us

It would be nice to find a boy like that, as well.

Hmmm...

In your case, I know for a *fact* she can exist: The person who came closest to all this, the one I married, just happens to be a lesbian now...

Of course I'm sure she has changed over the last few years and have no idea what she is like now. She certainly doesn't club anymore because I never run into her.

that person already exists, because you believe in her...keep your eyes and heart open and you shall meet...you know it's funny i've never really had a 'type' that i was looking for...instead i look for those things i admire in everyone...and i find something beautiful in a great deal of people...of course the degree of beauty varies, but i try and appreciate whatever that beauty may be...but to me the key has always been finding someone i enjoy spending my time with, someone i can talk with and laugh with...someone who challenges me and teaches me something about myself i didn't already know...someone who is fiery and passionate, but also balanced...someone who is able to believe in themselves (sometimes that takes time) but recognizes and respects who i am...someone who feels comfortable in most situations, even if it's somewhere they wouldn't normally ever be...someone who appreciates the positive aspects of a relationship, but is independent and has their own life too...but then again i'm pretty lucky i've found someone very special already who fits many of the things i appreciate in others...

2%

it always seems to happen and not because I hesitat but because I don't seem to embodie the things that she wants..

Damn Rights!

It's no good to want when you aren't wanted.

Types

I never really thought I had a "type" either until other people started pointing out my patterns. Turns out I am in fact a sucker for certain things.

And then you end up the the trash compactor with a wookie.

as long as he doesn't look better than me in it... I've dated a few of those...

It would be nice if he could look good in a suit... particularly his birthday suit.

lol at least you could play chess with the Wookie haha

right now I'd just like a girl who can handle blueberry pie cravings for breakfast, will hold my hand during scary movies and will let me read her bedtime stories..oh and will let me kiss her at streetlights

I second the motion

Yea. That'd be good.

its funny cause the people I date tend to embody certain things that I hate..such as

doesn't like mushrooms
Is blonde (although hair color can be changed)
doesn't like to dance a lot
doesn't appreciate my poetry
won't let me woo her
isn't spontaneous
is a jealous person
likes to sleep until noon and waste half the day
freaks out cause I check my email/LJ 10x a day

so why do I fall for these people! Maybe being in therapy right now is a good thing lol

My List

Date: 2002-09-08 12:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mbarrick.livejournal.com

Various terminal shortcomings of past relationships:



  • Doesn't like coffee

  • Tries to get me to eat more than once a day

  • Doesn't have a clue what my work means to me

  • Doesn't understand the difference between "my work" and "a job"

  • Allergic to cats

  • Is a lesbian (no offense, of course, just not a good thing in the context of a relationship with a het male).

  • Lives more than 1,000 miles away

  • Thinks clubbing is droll

  • Infrequent sex

  • She doesn't like any of my friends

  • Doesn't have a personality if her prescription(s) run out


If I go on any further people may (however rightly) conclude that I am bitter ;-)

*Doesn't have a personality if her prescription(s) run out*

haha boy do I know the joys of this one! My first gf was like Jeykle and Hyde when it came to her meds!

and try dating a girl who thinks she's a lesbian but then decides she only is when it comes to sex and not a relationship!
