I was told recently that if you describe yourself modestly to a
girl, she's likely to mistake your modesty for flaws and
insecurity. So here's me tooting my own horn, which I'm normally
not one to do:
I have a very diverse set of interests. I recently received my PhD in biomedical sciences and am currently doing a postdoc in an Alzheimer's lab. I also consider myself a writer, though I haven't had much time for it lately. And I even find time to socialize here and there, which is made easier by the fact that I have some great friends in this city. I have a great sense of humor and have a very observant, inquisitive view of the world.
What I don't have, unfortunately, is a woman to keep me company. That's partly my fault. It's taken me a while to get used to the idea of really sharing my life with another person. But that idea has grown on me significantly over the past few years. Unfortunately, what hasn't grown on me is the idea that I should settle in order to find that significant other.
Truth is, I'm pretty comfortable on my own, and I'm willing to hold out as long as it takes until I find someone who's really worth giving my entire self to. What that person will be like is anyone's guess. But I've met imitations of her in the past, and I understand the sense of connection you feel when you meet the right person. And a pretty face and a good sense of humor doesn't hurt either.
