I finally figured it out, part 2.

All year since I split up with my first love I have been trying to figure out what I look for in the opposite sex, since she was everything I look for. I have dragged my feet and tried to find what else to look for in a mate, and maybe taking this long to get over her prevented me from really knowing what I look for, the other day I finally figured it out. It's not much.

Basically, I want someone who puts Christ in the center of everything she does. That's one area we both failed, I was more centered around making her happy and also seeing how truly selfish I was.

I also would like someone to challenge me to be not only a better person, but a better Christian as well, and to encourage me to never give up on my hopes and dreams. Again, she failed in that aspect. I think that experience was brand new to both of us, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.

That's basically it. I know she's out there. I've almost literally lost my mind this year wondering if I'll ever find anyone, and at one point WAS almost willing to settle, and I'm glad I didn't. But I'm in no hurry now. My life is slowly taking shape and I know sometime down the line, God will bless me with what I'm working for.
