BUILDER/explorer

No not like Bob the Builder and Dora the Explorer......SWIPER NO SWIPE.....
Personality types. Major and minor. After watching a 20/20 special I went looking for the little personality test to gauge its accuracy.

Turns out I am a BUILDER/explorer. In other words 27% Builder - major personality type and 25% Explorer - minor personality type. The other 2 are the negotiator and director. Obviously they are in the mix somewhere but not quite as dominant as the Builder/explorer mix.

Here's the breakdown on the Builder/explorer:

Popular, trustworthy and dependable. Stable, loyal and caring with a wonderful knack for common sense.
A guardian. Relationships with friends, kin and colleagues are important, so time and energy is spent developing and defending these social networks. A good executive and manager. Sensible and factual, a hard worker. Likes schedules. Detail oriented. Tends to respect traditions. Brings strength and stability to social and business environments. Admires people who are spontaneous. Enjoys new and different ideas and experiences, as long as they are not dangerous. Respectability and appropriateness are important. Capable of deep, solid friendships.

Pretty interesting. According to the science of compatibility, my worst match is the Director. Probably all these fools I've been hanging out with thus far.

Dating......Oh Noes.

Wellllllllll - here it is......

I have decided to thrust myself full force into the realm of dating. I anticipate a great adventure, or maybe not so great adventures that are entertainingly ridiculously knee-slappingly mind-boggleingly hilarious. We shall see.

First things first, because of my life - I don't have the advantage of attending a large number of social events. When I am in a social situation, its usually a bar or club and well, we all know that is NOT the prime spot to meet a quality man. So, what is the answer you ask? The internet :)......

It's tough weeding through the potentials. I've found that. just like in a real life situation, the virtual dating scene has it's "types" too. I also find that I can feel connected to someone from their picture alone. All bullshit aside, attraction IS the first step, and if I don't think you're cute in your picture then there is NO hope for anything further.

The types:
1. The one that puts up pictures on dating site hugged up with other women.
2. The one that blows kisses at the camera and/or is sucking on a lollipop.
3. The one that has 5 pictures of himself with his shirt off flexing for the camera.
4. The one that puts up an OLD picture and knows its old and comments that its the "most recent one he has".
5. The one that has a pre written script for every woman within a 150 mile radius of him. (Hey one of the women has to respond, right?)

So after a few weeks of muddling through the perpetual on line dating mess. I see one that sparks my interest. Yes, his pictures do have potential. We exchange flirtatious messages, joking, conversating, scratching the surface of getting to know one another. Yes, I think I'd like to meet this one.Now, I am a paranoid person by nature so even though I've thrown myself into the realm of online dating, actually getting myself out there to physically MEET someone is an entirely different beast. I sense some potential and need to do this for myself especially after the horrible few months I've just had and crap that I've recently been subject to.

So we go out......more to come....
