So I've been sitting here thinking. I haven't been in a relationship in a long time. I've been ok I guess where I am but there are those nights when you wish you had someone to come home to or someone to listen to you when you're talking. Someone you can get cozy with while watching a movie or just sitting home by candlelight listening to some soft music and having a bottle of wine. While I was thinking about that I had another thought. What is it that I want in a woman. This may sound like a simple question and answer but as I sat here and pondered this simple equation I realized that it's a very complicated answer. You see I've been alone for so long that I'm really not sure what I want. Being in a relationship is a totally different way of thinking. For so long it's been all about what I want and what I like but in a relationship it's less about YOU and more about US. AM I ready for that mode of thinking or have I become too comfortable in this solitary realm in which I reside. Hmm?

I'm really sitting here pondering how does one leave this thinking behind and commit oneself to another. I'm grown now and I'm really not trying to have just a friend here and there I would like something put in cement. But I know I shouldn't go out and consciously look for it and that I should let it find me. They say that it happens when you least expect it but will I be ready?
