Wanted: Someone Far Away.

I know the very term conjures terror in women's hearts worldwide, but I should still say it.

I think I would make a really good long distance girlfriend.

Let's face it, my unluckiness in love is probably equal parts lack of opportunity and personal issue, so perhaps a serious relationship is not a realistic ambition for me.

I am also really independent and don't understand the nuances of having another person constantly at my side.  I don't get it, and I don't know how good I would be at it.  I have a hard time taking guys seriously when they are trying to be genuine with me, and I could care less about corny ritualistic 'holidays' like Valentines Day or anniversaries.  Really, it sounds like a lot of stuffy, fussy, nonsense to me.  I will never remember the date of a first kiss, or recall what I was wearing when we went out the first time.  I hate fancy restaurants.  I hate feeling like I have to behave.

However, I am really good at sending prizes in the mail, texting fun pictures, and getting on a plane for any reason.  I like the idea of having someone to visit somewhere, and acquiring a whole new set of friends in another place.

I am skilled in not obsessing over where another person is, making friends with other girls, and showing up when it really counts.

So, from here on out, I think I will be mostly interested in men who live a reasonable flight away.  I'm thinking Seattle, San Fran, Denver, or New Mexico.  This might be a solution for me!  I'll keep y'all posted.
