“You better love some body, it’s late.  You better love somebody don’t wait.  You better love some body don’t tempt fate.  You’re gonna push it just a little too far … One night.” Rick Springfield

 

            It’s springtime and a young man (or woman’s) thoughts turn to love.  Oh yes, I’m not an exception.  I guess anyone who knows me understands my feelings here.  I have spent most of my adult life looking for the right man.  I’m not looking for Superman, or any other hero for that matter.  Just a man I can trust and who loves me for who I am.  The search is pretty futile.

            One night, I’m afraid I’ll just lose it.  I’ll attack some poor helpless slob who is totally pathetic.  He will be not only disgusting, he won’t hold a job or care.  He will probably be guilty of axe murdering his mother.  And I won’t even really notice.  This is the terrible trend my life is taking as far as romance goes.

            I may not be the hottest girl on the block, but I am fairly intelligent.  I am focused, thoughtful, and fairly good at taking care of myself financially.  Maybe these are traits that scare men.  I don’t know, but it sure doesn’t seem to attract them.  After all this time I try to tell myself that I don’t care, but I do.  I don’t want to grow old alone any more than the next person.

            When all is said and done, though, I’m just not willing to compromise.  The guy is going to have to care about himself and me.  I can’t stand stupidity either, though anyone can have a blunder here or there including myself.  I have worked hard to get my own home and so forth so I won’t be responsible for financing a man, though I have never been against working together.  I guess that is that.

 

            Well, I am lucky to have some very good friends.  They know who they are and I hope I do at least an adequate job of telling them how important they are to me.  I have a WONDERFUL Mom and though my Dad is gone he loved me very much.  That, in itself is lucky.  I do try and remind myself of that.  I’m really not that down right now, but this was what was on my mind as I wrap up this weekend. 

 

Peace Out

Hey sweetie...hang in there! You are a WONDERFUL person and though we've never met in person (thus far) I love you dearly!!! And you deserve a guy who loves you absolutely unconditionally as the great person that you are. Don't settle for anything less than this! There's a great quote from one of my fave shows that fits perfectly here:

"Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies." - Carrie Bradshaw, Sex And The City.

And another two that speak to me:

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with." - Carrie Bradshaw, Sex And The City

"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." – Carrie Bradshaw, Sex And The City

I do live after these quotes and they are just so very true!

Love ya,

Eh men. LOL. I have to agree with you there though aboout the qualities you want in a man. It's not too much to ask! Girl for God's sake don't fall for an axe murderer! Unless you know...he happens to look like Keller or somehting and in that case none of us would be smart enough to see that flaw. ROFL. I really believe there is somone out there for everyone. It's all a matter of time and circumstance on WHEN we find them. Keep that chin up and never compromise who or what you really are (not that I think you would) because you are such a fabulous person!
