Living Single

I am living single. I don't want to be single, but honestly, there is a lack of high-quality men. I want to find that special someone, the man of my dreams, my knight in shining armor, my Barack--okay who am I kidding? I'm looking for anyone who wants to be with me and will treat me right! (and a couple other things). To me that's not asking for too much, but it's been extremely difficult to find a man...

I go to a Jesuit Catholic university. The men here are either a) in a relationship, b) in the seminary, c) gay, d) or a combination or all of the above :D
I want a man with a college education, a stable job, and no kids. Most of those men have already been snatched up! Pickin's are slim.
I go to places where I think a man that's my type would be hanging out--the library, the local cafe, etc. Nope! No black men to be found! I'm in college, starting to apply for graduate school, and I would love to find a man who could be my significant other. One who not only stimulates me physically, but intellectually. Most of these guys can't even say a sentence in proper English--let alone hold a conversation! Perhaps I am asking for too much...

In the past I have settled. Settled for men I should have passed up on first glance. I remember I was with this guy and he told me one day that I "wasn't on his level." I spent almost five years of my life trying to prove to him that I was. Then I realized one day that he was right all along. I wasn't on his level! Never again will I settle for someone so beneath me.

I am living single. I know what I want and I know what I don't want. I want someone on my level, who has goals and a path for his life. To me that's not asking for too much. I don't need a man to complete me--I need someone to compliment my swag! Someone with panache!
