A good heart these days is hard to find! #No17

‘A good heart these days is hard to find’, I think this line from the classic Feargal Sharkey song really sums up my attempt with my challenge to find the man of my dreams. Of course I believe I really have found the man of my dreams in my meeting of Mr Murs – he is full of energy, drive and determination (qualities I look for in a man), he has a cheeky chappy sense of humour, wicked smile and a good heart. He loves football, despite supporting Man U, talks a lot and appears to share my clumsiness – clearly we were meant to be. Well at least my work colleagues and the children I teach think so! Then I come tumbling back down to earth and the realisation is that this is all a wonderful dream and the chances of Mr Murs ever reciprocating these feelings is a million to one. So I turn to Internet dating and appearing on charity versions of ‘Take me out’ to find this man of my dreams. It has been fun and I have been on a few semi-successful dates, however it’s just made me realise that in order to find the man of my dreams I need to stop looking for him. I have to hope that one day he will turn up, fate will intervene, rather than my ridiculous attempts at internet dating. So I am taking a back seat, not actively looking as much, in the hope that he turns up before I turn 31! :-)
