I am a 22-year-old female. I went to college for 3 yrs.

My Gamut of Relationships

I have been in the full gamut of relationships. I have been with a physically and emotionally abusive male and managed to get out. I have been with the most wonderful man of my life and failed to keep him. I have dated men 10 yrs. older and men my age. I have dated men with children, and ex-wives.

I am a survivor of sexual abuse. In the beginning it greatly affected my relationships with men. However over the years I recognized how it affects relationships and managed to come to terms with myself. While it is still a part of who I am, it no longers holds me back from happiness in relationships.

Love Conquers All

My philosophy leans towards: love heals and conquers all. However love sometimes means letting go. While you can work at any relationship and get beyond issues, sometimes it is not what is best for you.

I Won't Lie To Spare Someone's Feelings

I am part cynic and part romantic. While I would like to believe every relationship has a happy ending I know better. I have a wonderful sense of humor. My friends tell me I can make them smile even in the worst situation while still being tactful. They also tell me that I am the only one who tells them the truth, whether they want to hear it or not. I refuse to lie to someone about my opinion just to make them feel better.
