As women, I think we constantly brain wrestle with ourselves when it comes to dating. Saying “I’m not going to call him if he doesn’t do this or that, or since he said this, that means that.” In all actuality, I really feel like the person you’re supposed to be with shouldn’t come with all these conniving rules and regulations. You shouldn’t have to trick him into being with you. Just like in the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” we set up reasons or matters of why men do what they do to make ourselves feel better or to keep the hope of HIM being “The One”. We possibly could be doing this not realizing that we are making an excuse for bad behavior or not acknowledging that he’s just not that into you. I feel that if a man is into you, no matter his situation, he will make it work or at least take the time to get to know you. Men are pretty simple fortunately. They say and do what they mean.
Still not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but dating in Atlanta has made me meet and date lot of different men. Just to be clear, I date around not sleep around. In the mist of all the wining and dinning, I think women tend to forget that someone is actually paying for this and its not YOU most of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s appropriate for a man asking you out to pick up the tab during your first dinner, but….ummmmm… after the 30th time with the same guy; it might be your turn. Wealthy or not wealthy; you or MEN don’t like bills.
My girlfriend described the perfect man that any decent woman would want. This particular man was even ready to settle down and have children. Now that’s a shocker statement, especially coming from a man living in Atlanta. One thing though. His breathe stank! She described it as hot garbage. OUCH! Funny thing, he kept trying to kiss her. Due to his circumstance, she no longer wanted to date him, but wondered if she should at least tell him? That was tricky. I mean, personally I wouldn’t want to continue walking around with stinky breathe. I’d like for someone to tell me though it might hurt my feelings. Since she was no longer interested, she was going to forget about it or send him a text. A text? Still not sure… What would you do?
While talking to a friend this past weekend, she told me about a game she suggested to the guy she was seeing called The Escort Game. The gist of the game was her role playing being an escort and letting HIM have his way with her. Yea.. I know it sounds sleazy and raunchy to even think about calling yourself an escort, but HE loved it. Just pretend he’s Client #9 and give yourself a code name.
So if you’re looking to spice up the bedroom life in a way HE’LL definitely enjoy, try The Escort Game. We all know you’re not a whore. =)
I had a digital conversation with an old friend of mine and he was stuck on the fact that nice guys always finish last. Is this true? Do nice guys really finish last? What type of woman are you interested in or looking for “Mr. Nice Guy”. Is it the superficial video looking woman who Kanye would say isn’t a gold digger, but not messing with no broke n**g**a? Or is it the girl in the corner reading a book that’s actually looking to settle down? I agree that physical attraction maybe the reason you approach a women, but at an adult age, I feel that men should value attraction via conversation and other non-superficial things. Maybe you should look into the type of women you are attracted to before quickly stating, “nice guys finish last”….. because honestly, if you want to use that as an excuse then nice girls ALWAYS finish last too… Cheers!
Earlier today, I had a quick google chat with a friend of mine whose friend said, “No one should be single nowadays because of the internet and stuff.”
What do you mean? I don’t necessarily agree with that. Sure with the internet, you are able to schedule ALOT more dates, weed out nonsense, and get to the point quicker. In a sense though, I think that’s why a lot more people are single. With today’s technology, you can’t get away with anything anymore without somebody posting something on some social networking site. Unfortunately, nowadays it’s nothing to hear about someone getting a divorce over a MySpace page.
Instead of doing the old school conventional methods of catching someone in a lie or cheating, just check their Facebook page or any other social networking site and you’re likely to see pics, who they talked to all day, where they went, who they went with, etc.
Sometimes I wish we could go back to the old ways of doing things while dating i.e. a phone call to schedule a date and not a TEXT MESSAGE! I CAN’T STAND PEOPLE WHO TRY TO CONDUCT A WHOLE CONVERSATION VIA TEXT! I’m way to grown for that. People need to learn to text on a “need to know” basis.
Yesterday I was having dinner with some people who had no idea I was a dating blogger. One gentleman said something that has always peaked my interest. He started talking about the crazy women he’s dated. I’m always confused on what “crazy” is? What do men think is crazy? I mean, personally I don’t think its “crazy” for a women to call you 4-5x repeatedly after not hearing from you in months when you both have spent every day with each other for the last 6 months. The disappearing acts syndrome drives me absolutely CRAZY! Usually the disappearing act consists of the man being married, getting back with his ex-girlfriend, or just randomly moved on without letting you know. Weird, I know. I can understand being called crazy if the repetitive phone calls are followed with the “I’m coming over there right now with my girlfriends to teach you a lesson!”…lol. Then that’s different.
But I think in relationships, we tend to write people off as crazy to quickly these days not realizing that another human being has invested emotions in what she/he thought was a relationship. People aren’t robots.
