my MOM! We do it ALL the time. Date someone who we are attracted to but really have nothing in common with. Its a typical response, to go for looks over brains. Men love a good arm piece to show off to their FRIENDS. You enjoy hanging out. Then she starts talking about future. So what do you do when you are dating someone who you KNOW is only for NOW?
I'd known her for years. We met at a traffic light. She had a nice ride and was attractive. She seemed to have it going on. When we pulled over to exchange numbers, she was quick to mention her job status with the Federal Government and her house in Upper Marlboro. I was more impressed that her body was NICE! She was cool and we always had a good time. Limited conversation and lack of intellect was later noted. Her confusion over meal selections was just one example, "Rib eye is a type steak, not a slab of ribs". We dated off and on for about 10 years. Things were going smooth but then she started questioning never having met my mom. "I've never asked about meeting your family"? I didn't want to stop seeing her but I didn't see her as a REAL option for future. One day she said "You think your smarter than me"? I didn't respond and our relationship faded to black. A few months later, I remembered her comment about me thinking I was smarter. I started to think, "I'm pretty much as smart as I appear, which is far better than appearing smarter than your are". Ive been strolling around Boarders lately, CUTE may not be enough. Still Single.
Never trust a big butt and a smile. One true test for a man if he wants to really get to the bottom line. Ask these three questions:
ReplyDelete1. Where did you last vacation?
2. What's name of the last book you read?
3. What traditions does your family consider scared?
Vagueness on any one should ring an alarm!
Just my 2cents
@Marcus not sure the answers to those questions will tell you much, but...um...ok... :)
ReplyDeleteSo all I have to say about this post is....10 years?!?! Yeah...she wasn't smart at all.
@Retha, maybe not...I'm still single!
ReplyDelete"Yes, we're different worlds apart,
ReplyDeleteWe're not the same.
We laughed and played at the start --
Like in a game.
You could have stayed outside my heart,
But in you came,
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go."

STILL SINGLE: For 10 years this woman gave you something you are still searching for, LOVE. Treasure those memories and the important gift she gave you. Good luck at Borders.
