How to know when to move on

1. When you get sent to voice mail twice because dancing with the stars is on.
2. When mid-seduction, he remembers he needs to unload the groceries/ paint the cabinets/ change the laundry
3. When you actually doubt being a good girlfriend because you know he would respond better to you being a bitch.
I could go on. I'm going to try #3 on for size, but it's going to take more than flowers to get out of this one alive.

The scary part is, I've seen this all before. It's called my four year college relationship. I can tell my inner masochist is just salivating over this latest catch. Stay tuned...

Raising the Bar

I've narrowed my criteria in a man down to four things. Now, these are the specific things in the man that I want, and do not include the things I want from him.

1. Intelligence - this doesn't have to mean education, but it often times does. Also, if it's a highly specified intelligence in a field I don't understand, than I'm not sure it counts. Writing skills fall into this category. 'Text talk' will get you axed pretty quick. lol.

2. Socially Capable - can get along easily in a situation where he doesn't know many people. Will make friends easily, and most importantly, my family gets along with him. Being funny- a crucial element - also falls into this category.

3. Ambitious - this doesn't always correlate with success, but it holds the promise of success. Even if they make doughnuts, they better have it in their heads the plan to be the best doughnut maker in the state- no- the world! 

4. Handsome - this one is a completely subjective category, and only I have to find the man attractive. I've dated some odd looking men in my life (I won't include pictures to protect the innocent) but there's always been that something that makes them someone I would stare at from across the room.

That's it. Pretty simple dream man. I've found a precious few 4 for 4's out there, now I just have to find the one that's head over heels for me and willing to treat me right. Ahh, if it were only that easy...
