When I meet someone new, a part of me is afraid to show my true self. Of all the people I know and love, there are probably less than a handful of people who understand me. I can be simple and complex. I am full of contradictions and some people may take it as dishonesty. I am still trying to find me. If I had to guts, I would tell any person who wanted to date me the following:
- I am a loner. There are times when I don’t answer my phone or open the door simply because I want to be alone. Don’t take it personal.
- I stay in my head a lot. I’m not tuning you out. Sometimes my thoughts compete with others when they’re talking. I can’t shut it off.
- There are times when I go on a writing binge. Most likely, it’s about you or it may not be. And I don’t like sharing so don’t ask to read it unless I grant you permission.
- I am not a neat person. I clean up for appearances but my closet is the only place where there is complete chaos and I LIKE IT.
- I don’t mind cuddling for a few minutes. I don’t like feeling restrained. I have to pee a lot because I drink a lot of water and soda. I also fart in my sleep.
- Don’t shove or move my face during oral sex. I hate that shit. I know what I’m doing. I never had complaints.
- I don’t like to ride. I love when a man in control and I like it a little rough. And no, I won’t just lie there. I do believe in gyrating my hips.
- I’m very vocal in bed. So vocal that everybody and their mama can hear me. If I’m silent, you are doing a poor job.
- I am very forgetful. If I tell you I will call you back and I don’t, chances are I forgot.
- I can be jealous and a bit obsessive, if and only if I like and/or love you a lot. If I don’t like you, expect the complete opposite. I will pretend you don’t exist.
- If our first sexual experience is horrible, you won’t see me again. Sorry.
- I get depressed at times. I would like to be left alone 1-3 days when I feel this way.
- My mood switches frequently.
- I feel lost at times so I am quite shifty and indecisive.
- I have rage in me that I try to keep hidden or on reserve until I need it. I rarely need it though.
- I am passive aggressive. I won’t say that I’m mad at you; I’ll just do or say certain things so you can get the hint.
- I am bipolar. This may explain some of these weird traits I have.
- I am a free spirit and love going against convention. I’ll find any excuse not to fall in line.
- I am not religious. Don’t ask me to go to church or push religion down my throat.
- I have facial hair. I shave and pluck them but it comes back. Deal with it. There are times that won’t shave my armpits or legs.
This is only a partial list. I know that most of it sounds strange but I like to think that I’m worth it. I wonder who would date me after knowing all of this shit now.
