Prospecting for gold

So here we are. I've done a good job of filling you in on my past relationships....but there's more to the current reality than that!

A bit about me.

On the outside: I'm 170cm and weigh 65kgs (on a good /thin day). I'm athletic and not in the way that means I'm flat chested. I've just done lots of sport! Actually I think you can see I'm not flat chested from my lovely picture. I've got green eyes, a big smile and shoulder length blond hair. I am most famous for my great legs. I've spent too much time in the sun so I will admit that I've got more lines on my face than I'd like. I spend plenty of money on grooming - hair, skincare, nails, clothes accessories. All up I hope you'd say I'm well put together?

On the inside: I'm friendly, confident, social, passionate, emotional, occasionally jealous, optimistic, competitive, honest, loyal, empathetic, self indulgent, driven and above all good fun.

I've got a great job, actually it's even a proper grown up career. I firmly fall into the 'high income' bracket. Not that I've ever got any money! I've had a lot of fun travelling, shopping and generally living the high life though. And my career is also very social, it extends into travel, parties and the like frequently. So you'd think I'd meet loads of men. Well you'd think wrong.

In fact at this point, my primary resource to meet men is online dating. I'm open to suggestions, set ups, and any other ideas if you have them. Because to go from my current reality to my future I realise it's going to take some effort! Whilst I like the idea of 'The Secret', something tells me, having a plan and working to an objective is maybe just a little more realistic. I think his name is Robert Fritz.

There are men around, don't get me wrong. In fact I've met several potential Mr Visions. I just haven't met one yet who considers me to be Mrs Vision! And so, here we are at my currently reality. I am single. I am very single. I am quite along way from my future vision. In fact I'm miles away.

I do have a few current prospects. They're not big features when you add in the word reality to current though. But I've got to start somewhere right. Just watch me pull out some never going to happens for this list. Well tough, this is my blog and I'll do as a I please. :)

Potential Mr Visions - the ones that make my heart beat faster -

The Friend. The friend is history. He looks like Mr Vision. He acts like Mr Vision. Apart from the adores me part. After months of friendship I hinted at my vision and our friendship ended. This was 4 years ago. The friend still pops up though. He's a facebook friend. He is at the outskirts of my social web. And when he does pop up all those 'he could be Mr Vision' feelings return. He is also annoyingly still single aged 37. So what's not to love about me I ask you The Friend?!

The Catch. The Catch is gorgeous. He is fit, successful, well off, well groomed. And so friendly! The Catch is also in his late 30s. And single. He is a friend of friends through a couple of varying avenues. I don't think I'm the only one who considers him The Catch though, in fact I fear I may have a lot of competition on this one. I tend to bump the catch on the ski slopes or at trendy bars. He always seems excited to see me. But he's never asked me out. I haven't actually seen him for about 3 months. But he's on the list ok?!

Conference man. You guessed it, I met conference man at....a conference. He is a bit shorter than I'd usually go for but apart from that, he really does fit the Vision specs quite well. He is attractive, successful, friendly, confident and from what I can tell SINGLE. After the conference I dropped him a line. Since then we've had a little email banter. We've run into each other at Hugo's. And another conference. He has initiated contact...I mean he even linked me in. But he hasn't asked me out.

Potential Mr Visions - the ones that don't make my heart beat faster -

Mr Local. Met him online. We've been out twice. He's not been quick to follow up for date number three. He ticks a few boxes - house in my suburb, tall, dark, well dressed. We've had one kiss. Maybe he didn't enjoy it? Actually I wasn't all that impressed. Serious lack of tongue! But I'm still waiting for date 3 to confirm.

Mr Fin. Mr Fin is hot, hot, hot!!!! Actually he could actually move up as he has the potential to make my heart beat faster. He is from Finland, a 36 year old lawyer. We met for coffee. We have loosely planned a date at the golf driving range next weekend. I'm going to work on the friendship first basis. Probably as that's all he seems to be interested in right now.

Mr Small Business. We met last night - you know how I had to run off. He's nice. He does tick a few boxes. But he also didn't quite look like My vision. But I'm prepared to give him a shot. He does need to prove he is capable of conversing without his business problems cropping up. Because I have to admit he seemed to struggle with this one. He's nice though. Smart. Right age. Driven. Nice looking. Could do with a few gym sessions. But still nice. So this one may be one to watch.

So now you know my prospects. Stay tuned for more developments. And there will be developments I can assure you. Robert Fritz said if I could create the vision I could have it, and I'm here to prove him right ok!
