RELATIONSHIPS/LOVE LIFE
when was the last time you had a girlfriend? my last girlfriend was in high school. five years ago was the last time i had a serious relationship. i've been on a couple of dates here and there, but i havent had an actual girlfriend since my senior year when my ex-girlfriend and i decided that parting ways would best for us. afterall, nothing lasts forever, right? especially silly high school relationships.
are you still with that girlfriend? like i said, that girlfriend and i went our separate ways five years ago, at the end of our senior year, before we had to be separated anyway. so, no, we aren't together. in fact, i haven't even seen her since.
if not, why did you break up with that girlfriend? we both wanted different things. she wanted to travel and go places and be a jetsetter. she wanted to go to school in europe and i wanted to stay where i was. i wanted to stay in connecticut and attend yale, like my parents wanted me to. i wanted to stay where i was comfortable and where my friends and family was. we just weren't on the same brain wave. i still loved her when we broke up, so it wasn't because feelings faded and changed, but because it was best for what we wanted and what would make us happy. even though we were happy together, we decided we could also be just as happy doing what we wanted to out of high school.
what do you think attracts girls to you? honestly, i don't know. i'm a nice guy, though, so i guess that could be it. i'm sweet, i'm charming, i'm smooth- i know how to talk to the ladies, even though i don't necessarily need to, because i'm not ready for a relationship at the moment, but when i am, i'll know what i need to know to get one. i would say i'm easy to talk to, too. i have a friendly face and i'm not intimidating. at least i don't think i am. i'm not going to lie, either- i know i have a good looking face. i work hard to look good. i work hard to keep myself in shape, too. i like to stay fit, not really because i'm trying to attract anyone, but just because health matters. so i guess there's a couple things in me that girls find attractive.
what kind of girls are you attracted to? i like confidence. confidence in girls matters most. if they're going to be the kind of girl that needs a boy to tell them how beautiful they are, how amazing they can be, then it's not very attractive. i'm not saying that i never assure them that they're beautiful and amazing and yada yada, but i prefer for them to know that already. i'm also attracted to someone that isn't afraid to be themselves. after all, i'm not looking to dating their mask. i want someone who's not ashamed to be who they are, whether that person is dirt poor or filthy rich. i don't care, so why should they? someone nice and friendly and just not... a bitch is always a plus too. i don't want to be with medusa, thanks very much. lastly? i want someone who wants to have kids. someone who wants to be a mother and wants to live happily ever after with two dogs and a picket fence- maybe not that exactly, but you get the point. someone who wants a family, who wants to settle down, not party and be forever young. kinda why me and mare didn't work out, come to think of it.
SOME MORE HISTORY
what are your parents like? my parents are great people. honestly, i aspire to be like them and i'm not ashamed to say that i look up to them. as cheesy as it might sound, they're my heroes. they do whatever is best for me. i'm always their first priority, but i'm not spoiled. not in the least. that's why i appreciate them, too. they taught me how to be grateful for what i have, not act like some rich brat. my mom is a party planner. she plans all sorts of stuff- weddings, proms, school dances, birthday parties, parties in general. she uses her skills at home, too, and it's not rare for her to throw a party now and then. i guess thats what adults do when they grow up and get bored- have parties. at least, thats what the ones with more money then they know what to do with do. my dad is a ceo of a seed and agrichemical producing company. he's the more simple, more plain one of my parents. still, though, they love each other just the same. i've never seen two people more in love, either. i'm close to my parents, and i would do anything to make them happy.
earliest memory that's a big toughie. i have a lot of 'early' memories, who doesn't? and honestly, i can't tell which is my 'earliest.' however, i can remember clearly my parents being really strict around the house. they were always uptight and had a way of doing things, which was the way it had to be done. they didn't like changing habit or routines, it was always their way or the high way. i guess that's an early memory, right? i might, it's not just a single one, but it's something that i remember well about my childhood.
horrors as a child/teenager getting into trouble with my parents was one. no, they didn't beat me or lock me in the basement or anything- in fact, they didn't even yell at me. they were just really intimidating when they were angry. though, i wouldn't exactly say that they really ever got 'angry.' they got upset- not mad, upset. they put on terrifying masks that you could obviously read, which always read i know you're better than that, jonas brantley. they never used my middle name, but when they used our last with my first, i knew they were disappointed. having my parents disappointed in me was one of my worst fears as a kid. not fitting in was another thing that scared me when i was younger, and it still scares me today. being seen as an outcast scares the living hell of me. i've always been accepted into society, i've always been popular. never in my life have i not been liked, and as conceited or bad as that may sound, i like being liked. oh and clowns- i watched it really late when i was young. not a good idea.
what have you learned as an adult treat others like you want to be treated, for one. cliche and cheesy as it might sound, it's a moral that i hold closely to my heart. it might not always work, but in the end, you'll feel like a much better person. if there is such thing as karma, then karma will be on your side, as well. worrying how others look at you is another. i know your parents always told you to not worry about what anyone else is saying about you or thinking of you, but as you get older, you'll find that it does actually matter. maybe not in the way that you that you think it might, but worry about what others view you as.
what's your current position i'm living in hartford, where my parents currently live. i moved out of new haven as soon as i graduated from college and now i'm living in a condo by myself. i'm single, i've been a marketing manager at an office in new york since i graduated, and i make a transition to the city from hartford four times a week. live is... okay.
