*his_years_love's profile:

I've been on the road since i was 16, i've seen a lot of the world and met a lot of it's people and learnt to deal with whoever I cross paths with accordingly. I'm great at analyzing situations and finding the root of a problem and how to solve it. I learned quick how to break down a situation, understand the potential good and bad consequences and the ripple effect those consequences have on those around me and involved with my life. I believe those willing to take responsibility regardless of justification and excuses are always those who succeed in their relationships, and I have a huge desire to help people learn how to do this--I don't keep many people in my life who are incapable of grasping personal responsibility (although I believe being responsible can mean any number of things, it's definitely not about working your 9-5 and paying bills in my mind), and I guess you could say irresponsible people make me tick.

I'm happiest single at this point in my life, but I have a VERY open view about relationships, marriage, and reasonability within a partnership. I hope I can help open your mind and shape your own individual tailored idea of love and how you can make a difficult thing work for you.
