The grass is greener on the other side......a "crazy" woman can be confused for an energetic one. I suspect you'd be happier with the latter.
A gal who comes up with ideas or interests or merely pays attention to you is along the lines of what you sound you want. You could try doing that on your end.
It's a balancing act life is. How 'bout an energetic gal who's only energized when she's spending money?
One of my girlfriend's was "the life of the party" but it was always TV shows, movies, who was playing tennis in France and garbage like that. I realized that she was a gas to be around but the nervous energy she had wore thin. She's a straight woman who never married and I'm a straight woman who "married late" by Donna Reed standards. I knew too many cigarette smoking, unhappy, divorced Donna Reeds to trust any of their advice.
I think being able to communicate with someone is where it's at. I also think you have extra work cut out for you since you're in Texas. Texas is car country and people tend not to meet each other without effort. Then relationships take effort. Whaddaya thing marriages require? (HINT:starts with an e)
Opposite of Heaven, I have a girlfriend (again straight AND good looking) who asks to be set up with guys we know then NEVER follows through it seems. She never arrives at parties. Are you like that? Maybe you don't deserve someone.
Don't get one of those fat Walmart beauties pregnant while you're out entertaining yourself.
Just because some customer's wife asked you how to clean a flower box (an unexpected question) doesn't mean she's wild and witty. Actually, it sounds like you're pathetically shut away from life's experiences. Sometimes a guy's wife will feel freer to talk to a guy (you) because she's married. Other times she is starving for a communications style different from that of her husband. If she appears to like it (communicating with you) her husband might stab you or punch you out. Then, if she digs THAT you know you've found your soul mate. Don't date her until after the divorce.
Good luck, Kira
ps I am not a gal who's been around the block. I just play one on this board. You'd dig me too because I can do more than change oil. I have installed an aftermarket air conditioning system into a car and lots of other tasks. Physically fit? I bet I'm in better shape than you've ever been.
I can squeeze your ____ by smiling. Get out more.
