I have loved and lost. But I would have rather done that then never loved at all. Basically, that means that I have learned from my recent mistakes in relationships and have grown up quite a bit. If you are still interested I like my girl to be athletic and cares about her body. At least in shape. I hate bullshit and drama so I need her to be over that stage as well. She has to like cooking. She doesn't HAVE to cook for me she just has to like it and won't mind doing it once in a while. And as far as education goes I could really care less if she has a college degree or not. Also, and this is important, I am looking to settle down. I've had my fun with one night flings and I'm over it. I want to find that someone that I can connect with and maybe one day settle down with. But if your not interested in at least being with me for a year or more and don't bother cause you'd only be wasting your time and mine.
