Wanted: In, around, or near where I live:
a good guy, unafraid of the idea of
or action of
falling in
love.
A strong, substantial guy.
Who shares some of my interests
and doesn't mind my quirks.
Who isn't attracted to me
purely for my body-my looks-
but cares about my mind, ideas,
and dreams.
Even if they are unrealistic.
Who can understand-or at least sympathize with-
my occasional brokenness and paranoia.
A guy who can laugh at me
and won't mind when I whine.
Who can deal
with my all-over-the-place-ness.
A guy who can love me...for me.
If you qualify,
please apply.
But Only If You Really Mean It.

Remember:Tuck your chin, you're going to get hurt, so expect it and be ready. You might as well see it coming.
-Elizabeth Haydon, Requiem for the Sun

Good read!  Makes me think of what Barret Browning would have written as a precursor to 'sonnets from the portuguese 14' before meeting Browning!

I'd say this write is the only way to find the long lasting true love. The up front honesty leaves no room for infatuated window shoppers.

You have no idea how happy I am to hear that there's someone else out there that has "all-over-the-place-ness" just like me.
CHEERS!

Superb write!

You're the second person to make Iowa sound like the Field of Dreams

May you find what you're looking for, miss..

What we are all looking for.. well... some of us are looking for the ladies with the same qualities; however, you know what I mean.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE
