The love that said forever, forever and then runs you over like a truck?
Whether consciously, or unconsciously, it seems like men can sense and are tempted to pounce upon women they perceive as being in a vulnerable position. I’m thinking of getting t-shirts printed that say: “I”m well aware of what ‘I’m here if you ever want to talk’ really means.”
That’s probably lumping a lot of sincere guys in with the insincere, but hey… I never said that I wasn’t completely jaded and unabashedly bitter. ;-)
You always see men and women making lists of qualities that they are looking for in a guy/girl, and until just very recently I always thought it was just some silly plot convention overused in Hollywood. I’ve started to rethink my aversion to such lists. I mean, having a real checklist might at least help my organize my thoughts.
This is what I have so far:
1. Can express himself well verbally.
2. Can change a tire.
3. Can change a tire without blowing a gasket.
4. Knows the difference between “your” and “you’re.”
5. Understands that life is what you MAKE of it.
6. Can cope with the highs and lows of life.
7. Is down to earth and non-judgmental.
8. Likes and is not allergic to Mr. Finnagon (my puppy).
9. The only princess he wants to save is me.
10. Is EXTREMELY quick-witted (mouthy).
