Men!

Today's Tunes:

I Don't Wanna Be - Gavin DeGraw


Are noisy, smelly and mostly useless. Totally joking. I LOVE men. Not necessarily the ones that I have chosen in my lifetime, but I still hold out hope lol. And I've met enough good ones to know that they really exist. Most of them marry my friends, but I know they're out there, and I'll end up with one eventually. I just have to decide what makes a good man, and based on the number of good ones I've met, I think I'll make a list ROFL.


I want a man who:

Has guy friends and wants me to hang with them occasionally. This is essential. He needs his own friends.

Doesn't need to be around me 24/7.

Buys/owns his own stuff. Like a car. A car would be nice. And a TV maybe...or a computer, or a couch?

Wants to spend the day cuddling in bed with me.

Wants to spend the day in bed with me, and NOT just cuddling.

Buys me flowers.

I can take to a wedding and not have to worry about him getting ridiculously mortifyingly drunk.
Will dance with me - even if he doesn't like it, but will anyway because I do.

Will just let me cry when I need to cry. It doesn't happen often, and I don't like being judged when it does.

Genuinely likes my family, and makes an effort to get to know them.

Wants to go out and do things.

Is OK with staying home sometimes too.

Will watch chick flicks with me. I love chick flicks...they get me going lol

Doesn't blame his past, the way he was raised, or his parents for his issues.

Has been through hard stuff, and grown to be better, not bitter.

Will speak his mind, even if I don't like what he has to say.

Will stand up to me, but not have to be mean to do it.

Has had his heart broken. I'm too old to be teaching someone how to love. That, and I don't want to!

Knows what he wants in a woman, and sees it in me.

Doesn't expect perfection, and isn't perfect. God knows I'm not!

Doesn't drink past the "good time" line. Ever. And isn't a mean drunk. Ever.

Is honest even when the truth is hard.

doesn't put dirty pans in the oven to avoid cleaning them (random, but true story. Ends with me just about burning my house down.)

Loves his family.

Is not so attached to his mother that he doesn't really have any room for another woman in his life.

Lets me take care of him when he needs it.

Knows that I can take care of myself and respects that - but stands up for me when he wants to.

Follows through if he commits to doing something.

Will still take me on dates after we've been together for years.

Will compromise. Nothing is ever perfect, and sometimes sacrifices need to be made. I want to be with someone who will meet me in the middle.

Wants to know just as much about me as I do about him.

Wants me more than anyone else.
