The Ideal Relationship

This is officially the few times I'm going to ever mention what I'm looking for in life. Soon I'll be planning to hunt for a relationship sometime in May. Even though I have nearly finite information about relationships in general, I've been reluctant to be in one for the longest time. Without a doubt in my mind I know the type I want to be in - the one who loves me for being me minus the heartache baggage from the previous one.

Dear reader of this blog, I'll be openly blunt with what I'm looking for in a relationship - someone that's ready to settle down into married life. I'm at the point in my life this is what I want and nothing else matters. Only three things in my life are important: love, family and career (in that order). Things like dating for over a year make me think she's reluctant for a serious commitment.

It may sound like I want to hush into married life with someone significant but once I know I want to be with someone for the rest of my life, I don't want to let go. Truthfully, 'yes' I'm scared to be in a relationship at a slow pace. However my belief is if the relationship is longer than the time being engaged I tend to question why. The only true thing I know is I want to be in a relationship that lasts beyond forever.
