wellownedbkupThe trouble with being a romantic is that everything you dream’ll never come true. That’s the entire problem. You want someone to sweep you off your feet, and then give a big, well-thought-out engagement question (“Will you have me, despite all my failings? I love you more than life and breath itself.”), a whole big production. You want to be wooed. You’ll be lucky to get a guy who thinks outside himself enough to give you a’ “Can I ask you a question? How’s about marrying me?”…. And even though you want him to continue to court you after you’re married… it won’t happen.
I *am* a prize to be won, despite all thoughts to the contrary. I don’t want to have to put myself out there to chase after men so that they’ll marry me. No, but I know I’ll have to get off my lazy duff to get a man. They won’t just fall into my lap… though that would be a nice idea. I want to be won over by the love he shows me. I want him to be my friend before we become more to each other. I don’t want him to choose me because I’m the only one smart (and brave) enough to do things he likes doing. Like Lazer Tag… and ice skating… and soccer….
Seeing as how I won’t get what I want in Louisville… I’ve settled for a single life. Not getting married… and prolly not dating for a while yet. But I do have advice for the husband hunters reading this.
1. Don’t sit on your duff. If you want somebody, you have to do more than just sit around watching movies and going out to eat. Be a little active at least.
2. Leave Louisville. There are more men in the North and Midwest and other countries than in the South.
And, for God’s sake, 3. Don’t look desperate. Please, if there’s anything you remember… DON’T LOOK DESPERATE. They’ll like you a whole lot better if you don’t act as though you are planning the rest of your lives together on the first date.
