« A very brief IM conversation about my old job | Main | Things I still don't understand about Greek life.... »
why do people do this?
ringring
Me: Rashid Darden. (I'm at work)
He: Hey, wassup.
Me: Nothing...who is this?
He: This is the man that shoulda been yo daddy.
Me: Whaaaaaaa?????
So it was actually this cat I was/am/usedtocouldgetitsomewhatstill feeling. But he has his own live in boyfriend. Anyway, he called me at my job to tell me I was on his mind.
UGH, don dooo dat! (And you gotta say it like secong grader would)
I'ma need you to send me emails or IMs....but when you got a man, don't call me homie...not at work....you know what the deal is. It needs to be as easy as possible for us to be friends, and I can't do that if I am hatin' on your man.
Ya dig?
Was talking to frat about an unrelated situation and he challenged me to keep holding out until I found "the one"...that person that makes me feel butterflies. And I was like "Well what if it's just gas?" lol
But then he very logically said that I HAD to wait for "the one" because what if I settle and then "The one" comes along?
I was like damn, true.
Soon after that, I told him that the "ones" for me have always been really talented, really brilliant men. Like, ultra uber talented people. So much so that recently, I decided that it must be talent that I am attracted to moreso than....well, let's say that talent plus looks equals a smitten Rah-Rah.
I look back on the great loves i've had (whether reciprocated or not) and I see that they either were already on top of their game or had extraordinary potential to be such.
So yeah, that means my standards are very high. It also may mean that my current environment isn't conducive to meeting a lot of people like that.
Take for example last month....I was told that a lot of folks (at an event I attended) were "afraid" to talk to me. I was like are you serious, why? And apparently it's because I wrote a book.....I am like are you kidding me? I wrote a book to GET a man, not scare them away!!!! LOL jk
But it's interesting. I guess it means I'm looking for someone with confidence on top of everything else.
Confidence is exactly what my mystery caller has, on top of sex appeal, a good heart, etc. He just also happens to have a live-in boyfriend.
So, whatever. I'm not one of THOSE men who chases other people men. That's not a good look for anyone.
Still waiting, still searching. Going to the movies today with a new buddy. Not expecting anything but a movie. :-)
