Diane
At the tender age of 36, I've taken time off from relationships (several years, in fact) to get my head screwed on nice and straight. I've gone to therapy and done a lot of recovery work from being abused in the past. While I've always been a strong-willed, independent person, I have only recently learned to expect to be respected. This comes from gaining confidence in myself that I have grown into an intelligent, thoughtful, funny, wonderful person.
I am whole, all on my own. I'm learning to communicate my needs without being demanding, manipulative, and controlling. I'm ready now for a healthy relationship but I'm a Heartless Bitch because I refuse to just start dating any random asshole just to be out there dating. I'm looking for a smart, funny, independent, and self-confident man who can challenge me to grow and become an even better person. I have no idea where that guy is, or how to find him, but there has to be at least one on this planet who is straight, single, and mentally healthy -- and who will recognize all those qualities in me.
But I will not compromise myself nor my self-respect, just to be with someone. I refuse to be one of those chicks whose identity is wrapped up in whatever guy they're pair-bonded to. I also refuse to allow my sense of personal happiness to be wrapped up in finding The Perfect Man. He'll find me if I'm happy with Me and My Life, just as it is -- healthy, happy people attract healthy, happy partners. And if I'm not healthy or happy, I'll take assertive action to change whatever it is that's making me unhappy. If self-reliance equals Heartless Bitch... then count me in.
