"I've learned the best things in my life are the things that come like a flow or are as easy as a dance and they come to me when I'm not looking or trying too hard....just showing up with authenticity :)

Internet Dating, Just Friends and Always Learning

Hi there,

My name is Starr. I am clumsy, I talk too fast, I have a lot of energy and I overanalyze everything! I am also loving, passionate, heartfelt, driven and I like to make people laugh.

Recently I have been on the adventure of Internet Dating and it has been a great journey for me. I am learning a lot about myself and the importance of first impressions and taking the time to give people a chance and not revealing too much too fast. This is a challenge for me as I have always been very open and I guess sometimes I “overshare”. I battle with this concept as deep down I truly believe that the right people in my life will accept me as I am with whatever I’ve been through.

In regard to this dating adventure I seem to be collecting a lot of new friends and no real  boyfriends. Now part of this, is that Internet dating is like putting yourself on a blind date, so the odds are not always gong to be great. I am, however, someone that sees the good in people so I always have a great first meeting/date. Like the conversation flows…etc.. but usually no X factor. Funny thing is, is that I am usually able to keep my “cool” self going on the first date. By the second or third date if I have decided I am into the person, I start to get nervous and will talk about Lamas or something. All my “cool” points start to go out the window and I most likely will trip at some point during the date…or whatever. I really have no poker face and I wear my feeling on my sleeve.

What has been a pattern for me it I will go on these dates and the guys that I have an interest in will “just want to friends” (kill me now! :)) and then we become even closer. Then what happens is they tend to fall for me a few months down the road, because my nerves have all gone and I am just being my authentic, confident and goofy self. Of course by the time this happens I am totally over it and I either have a knew crush ir I am just not interested. 

I try really hard to play it “cool” in the beginning and not com across too eager..etc…but I am one those people that if I like you…I like you…bottom line. 

I guess it will just hit when it hits…until then I have some great songs to keep me company…

MUCH LOVE ALL!!
