I've realized something about myself recently. I tend to fall in love with the idea of falling in love and in turn, when I think there is the slightest attraction of a male towards me, I think I've stumbled across love. I know, it's precocious. I don't know why or when I started this whole thing, but nonetheless...
Over the past 4 years of being single, I've developed this idea that there is something wrong with me. I'm not pretty enough, I'm too intimidating, not skinny enough, I'm more of a "sister" or I'm only "marriage material", etc. I honestly believed those things. I must have done something wrong or maybe I'm destined to be single for the rest of my life. I just knew that there had to be a reason for it. It's amazing what you'll believe, you know. Then I got to thinking about it... That cannot be right. I have this deep desire to be married -- to have a companion. Somebody I can take care of and somebody to take care of me. Somebody that will witness my life and encourage me along the way... I simply want to be loved. Accepted. Cherished. Adored.
Can I be honest?
(It doesn't matter what your answer is, because I'm going to be honest anyway. You're the one still reading.)
Guys say women are...
- confusing and can't figure out what they want
- a riddle they cannot figure out
- that we don't know how to be "just friends"
- we speak in "code" and aren't just honest about how we feel
Women say guys...
- don't know how to communicate
- don't know how to be "just friends" without us thinking that they are interested (yep. process that statement)
- aren't honest with how they feel
- cannot be romantic because it's too feminine for them
Here's what I think (since this is MY blog and I can say what I want)... Both men and women think the same way. We're both needing/wanting honesty. Maybe if women would stop talking in "code" and men would learn how to be honest, we could get somewhere. I can say that I've tried both: the "dropping hints" scenario and being completely vulnerable -- laying my heart out there. Can I just tell you that neither worked? Nope.
Riddle me this, what is it that men want? Seriously.

here's what i want. i want you to have a man that cherishes everything about you. that doesn't need lessons from me about how to be a good boyfriend (bahaha).
hurry up and get here, mr. prince.
I'm sure I have no idea what men want so I'll just write some smart-ass stuff on MY blog. I love you, you are "worth it", and you are in line for the best man God has.
