He's Not My Type
The hiatus is over, I have thought of something to write about, Finally.
Today I realized that all the times I've said "oh he's not my type" that I've just been making excuses as to why I don't want to date someone. I don't have a type. I actually like all kinds of guys, or perhaps I should say I just like guys. I saw a guy today and thought, dang he's kinda cute and then my mind began to wander of the last few guys that I've said that about and none of them are really alike at all. Short, muscular, tall, lanky, quiet, boisterous, brooding, outgoing, etc.
I believe that my mother was right in terming me as "boy crazy" as a child. She was not lying. I love men. I feel more comfortable around males than I ever have around a female, like they're not judging me or competing with me. Most times I feel that I can truly be myself around guys, not like some women who feel that they must put on a different persona for the male species to draw them in, only to do an about face once they have them in their grasp. I feel relaxed and at ease when conversing in a group of guys. Maybe this is why I am still single...because in all that relaxedness (I'm pretty sure that's not a word) I am really Ariel in her purest form, some may find that too be a bit too concentrated and would prefer the more watered down version because I must say that I can be a very intense and slightly intimidating person. (I'm not making that up, I've been told by numerous people.)
So anyway, back to types. I have often said that someone is not my type to get out of being set-up or what have you, but I really think I've been lying. Here's the truth. I have no type, I just like men, but I do know what I don't like in a guy. There are certain personality traits that make someone very unattractive and maybe that's what I've termed as "type". I'm not going to share with you the character traits that I don't like because I don't want to offend anyone or perhaps it's more along the lines of I don't want people to read them and think, "man she's shallow". So I will not list them, but I will say that the next time I tell you "oh he's not my type" you can call me a liar... I wont proceed to tear them down by listing all the qualities that I don't like about them, I hope, because I'm going to try to be a better person, but I may just let you know that there are things in them I find unattractive.
On a sort of related side note: I think I've found someone that I'm severely interested in. :-/ He doesn't live nearby at all which is why I've said I "think" instead of saying something more definitive. But we have talked a lot lately and I've discovered we have quite a lot in common and that he's a much different person than when I knew him before.

Is this mystery guy the one you were talking about today in church???
I think it's best not to have a type, because there aren't enough really good guys to be too picky about types.
Okay - so apparently we have not been hanging out enough.
I want to know about this guy!!!
