Well guys, I gave this last relationship 6 months, and turns out, I need to keep on lookin' still... The ex boyfriend is a good man, but not the one I want to keep for me! For one, I really prefer to meet a man who rides a Harley and has a carefree attitude about loving life. I prefer a gent who is as tall as I am, 5'10"+, well mannered, good hygiene and willing to listen and communicate in return... A man with a sense of humor, who can laugh at life. A romantic passionate kisser, who likes giving and receiving affection. I have been cig free for over 8 years now, so now I prefer to date NON smokers and don't allow cig smoking in my home or car, reformed?, yeah, thaz me! LMAO... : ) I am outspoken at times! I am set, as well, to NOT RAISING another man's very young KIDS! I am done with having any more babies, and will be exploring my freedom soon, since my teen son will be 19 in July. I read the following wise words that a guy wrote in hopes to help enlighten us single gals. I was awestruck to learn what men prefer, in how we first communicate, and that less is better, when first meeting, slower is key, to attract and capture their attention, and perhaps get asked out for that all important second date! READ ONIf a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, Why would he treat you any differently? Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street. You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary. Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others. Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them. BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN, SO TAKE A HINT....... Don't Make someone a priority when they make you only an option. Who is the truth ? I'm the man who will text you good morning and tell you sweet dreams. I'm the man who will hold you when you're crying and wipe away your tears. I'm the man who still thinks you're beautiful with no makeup on wearing sweats and a big t-shirt. I'm the man who won't pressure you to do things you dont want to. I'm the man who will show up at your house with soup and a movie when you aren't feeling well. I'm the man who kisses you on the forehead. I'm the man who doesn't kiss and tell. I'm the man who actually listens to you when you talk. I'm the man who's excited all day because im looking forward to our date that night. I'm the man who is content to just be able to hold you and wants nothing more. I'm the man who can't help but smile when you walk into the room. I'm the man who's perfectly content with staying in and watching movies and cuddling. I'm the man who won't lie to you about where he's going or where he's been or who he's been with. I'm the man who gets butterflies when he hears your name. I'm the man who's not afraid to tell his friends he loves you. I'm the man who doesn't mess with other girls when i have you I'm the man who doesn't care about your imperfections and loves you more for them. I'm the man who will hold you while we watch the sunset. I'm the Man who will kiss you slow and stare into your eyes. I'm the Man who will make you feel Loved even when i am not there. I'M THE MAN WHO REALLY WANTS TO MAKE YOU THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD. I'M THE MAN WHO IS GOING TO LOVE YOU BETTER!!!My heart sings to this man tune, so come on and lets put on our dancin' shoes and together, tap our happy feet in harmony!
