Had a girlfriend when I was 11, aswell as many love "interests" over the years (towards myself and vice versa), however, over time, they have deteriorated into what I call, the "slag" state. Thus, I gave up on them while I could, and thank god I did.
Finding the right person is hard where I live, They're either as thick as a brick with a beautiful body but extremely lazy (unfit and a slacker), or a genius who is in my eyes unattractive, boastful, arrogant but very well cultured. Until There is a median between those (like myself I guess, I don't want to sound arrogant myself
), I'll focus on MY life, rather than THERES until the right person appears in my life, maybe they're already there and I haven't noticed :).
Good friends are all you need, as long as they stand by you at your time of need, they are all you need indeed.
