Good Grief Charlie Brown!

Good grief Charlie Brown!  When will I ever meet a real man?  I know they are out there.  Maybe It's my definition...  I believe a REAL MAN should be a gentleman and a guy.  A real woman will appreciate it.  I'm looking for a man who is as comfortable in a club situation as a Super Bowl party.  It's not about where you are, but who you are with.  We all make concessions, but do not play the martyr.   Whenever my X would agree to go out to dinner with me, he would get in the car, gaze deep into my eyes and say "We are only going out to dinner because you want to.  You know I enjoy eating in my own home more than anywhere else."  Oh how incredibly romantic huh...   Well hell yeah!  I'd be more comfortable after working a 60 hour week to eat at home too if I had someone else cooking for me and cleaning up afterward.  Hello!  I guess he must have forgotten I was the only one working.

Where the heck was I going with that?  Oh yeah.  Doing things you may not like, because your significant other does.  Absolutely.   If you convince me to do something I wouldn't otherwise do, just for you, I am there 100%.  No whining.  May not ever do it again, but that one time, I am committed to enjoy myself.  Try new things, you may enjoy it.  

Well the last guy I was so excited about, wasn't even willing to meet my friends.  He kept saying he was going to treat me like a Queen.  He wanted me to be happy, as long as it could be on his terms.  He wanted to be a part of my world, as long as it fit into his world.  lol  So yeah, not dating him anymore. I knew the minute he asked me to move in.  Yes, you read right, move in.  We hadn't even known each other for 2 weeks.  While he was asking I was smiling and thanking him for the offer.  Inside I was making mental notes of all exits and anything that could possibly be used as a weapon.  I'm thinking he assumed that was the quickest way into my pants, since everything else he tried wasn't working.  Damn It!  I was having fun too.

Ok  my ideal guy is a guy's guy.  A guy who can watch basketball with me, hang out with my friends or his, doesn't have to dance well, but has to be willing to dance.  A guy that wants to camp on the weekend or have backyard barbeques.   Throw a Super bowl party, go to the gym with me, not cuz he needs to, but because I think I do.  Go out to eat at the greasy burger place in town or the expensive steak house 2 hours away.   Enjoy Taco night as much as my kids and help clean up after.   Leave work at work, carry on a conversation til 2am then make-out til 4.   I'm willing to try new things and we both need 'me' time apart to do stuff.

OK I'm rambling...
