We all have had our share of bad dates. The ones that don't call, the ones that call too often. Hell, even the ones who end up miraculously showing up at what seems like every single one of your social outings. The boys that drone on and on about their hopes and dreams (or themselves) and the ones that just sit with you in that awkward silence. There are some rather specific breeds out there, but I'll get more into detail with that later on.
So, moving on, let's focus on my next part of this whole thing.
WHAT I WANT!
So here is my Top Ten of the top of my head...
1. Chivalrous
Opening doors, knowing which side of the lady to walk on, etc...
Creativity is key here. Roses are far too cliche. Not that flowers aren't nice, just nicer when there's some thought behind it.
2. Romantic
Enough with the cliche roses! Flowers can be great but learn what flowers it is I actually like! Surprise me with a candlelit home-cooked dinner. A drive to somewhere with a view. Picnic in the park! There are so many "cheesy" things you could do to make me swoon.
3. Employed
You don't have to my 6 figures, but you have to make something! I actually love blue collared boys. Working with your hands is sexy.
4. Mobile
You should be able to come to me. On another note, I love to cruise and just lay my head on a shoulder sitting shotgun.
5. Physical Appearance
Obviously there needs to be some attraction there for it to work. I'm not a vain person and I actually tend to go against the whole "GTL" crap that's so popular thanks to the moronic ways of the Jersey Shore kids.
6. Bedroom Skills
Yes, size matters if you're the size of a mozzarella stick! However, size isn't everything and quite frankly if you can't work it you ought to just work your frank back into your pants.
Must know how to kiss as well. I cannot tell you how disgusting it is to be attacked be someone's tongue or chicken pecked to death.
7. Family Oriented
I'm not looking to get married and have kids overnight, but it is a deal breaker for me. I also just want someone who's close to their family and respects family values.
8. Honesty, Loyalty & Communication
I think these speak for themselves. I'm a big girl, I can take it (whatever "it" is). I tend to be a fairly blunt person and expect the same courtesy.
9. Caring & Open-minded
Another simple one. Someone who actually gives a darn about the well being of others. Who's open-minded to the world and the various views in it. Not saying you can't have specific views and beliefs, but you need to be respectful of others and theirs.
10. Passionate
Everyone needs to have something they're passionate about. It makes life have meaning.
It's really fairly simple. Behind my outgoing and, yes, sometimes obnoxious personality there's a very simple gal wanting a very simple life. A chivalrous man with a heart of gold and romantic ways. Okay, okay... I know it's laughable, but why? Has all male dignity and common sense left with last nights romp with the lotion and box of tissue? It seems in this day and age my list is just too much for any one man to handle.
Which leads to my dilemma.
I'm unlucky in love. Maybe I ask for too much, or I'm not willing to settle. Damn RIGHT I'm not willing to settle! Maybe as you get to know me and my tales of romance gone wrong, you'll start to understand why it is I'm still single. Is there not a single guy out there with the attributes I require? If you find him ladies, please, send him my way.
Well,
Let my tales of Terribelle Dates begin...
