You know I am so single now, and for the first time in what seems like years?! I think I've always had a boyfriend! It is kind of a really cool feeling to have absolutely no committments to anyone else. I like coming and going as I please and my only major responsibility now is taking care of my new puppy

I've found that also now I am more pickier about who I want to be with. I think now that I am getting older, I have a lot higher standards and don't want to deal with stuff I would have overlooked before. My new motto is "What are you going to offer ME in the relationship?" and "If you don't have______, ______, and _________ (whatever standards those may be) don't bother me".
