The reason I'm not married yet isn't because I don't want too, it's because I haven't found someone who can keep up with me yet. Think about it, it's really the reason why any girl is single. Guys say that girls are complicated, can never make up their minds and are constantly changing what they want. BUT when a guy says he wants something and then he gets it, all the sudden, it's too much and he can't handle it. This is why I haven't settled down yet.
I have a personality that is so overwhelming that guys don't know what to do. Maybe it's because they are scared that they've met a girl who's so sure of herself and independent or maybe it's because they just know that they can't handle me. I need a guy who can, not necessarily tame me, but keep up with me.
I'm the girl who loves to go out and shoot a game of pool or darts and grab a beer and a shot. I'm the girl who loves to go to a game: football, baseball, hockey or whatever, cheer and get into it. I'm the girl who loves to go to a musical or play. I love romantic movies, sports movies, comedies and just about everything in between. I'm the girl who loves to slow dance and dance like an idiot.
I'm the girl who doesn't need flowers every day, week or month, but it's nice every now and then. I don't care about money and I don't care about expensive dinners. I'm the girl who loves walking around a park or downtown at night, keeping things cheap and simple, or staying in and watching a movie. I love to get dressed up every now and then, but love scrub out in sweats and a t-shirt and stay in to cuddle and watch a movie.
I love to cook dinner together or surprise him with dinner. I love to spoil him and to be spoiled every once in a while, but not the kind of spoil that most people think. I really don't care for jewelry; I don't need big, expensive things. Walking downtown at night and seeing the sights while he's holding my hand, random hugs, stopping by just because he misses me or random calls to let me know that he misses me is spoiling me. Remembering my favorite candy and getting it for me every once in a while, that is what spoiling me is.
I'm a girl and he's has to remember that, so there are times when I'm going to need to cry and let it all out and there are going to be fights, there's no way around it. I love to argue and sometimes I'm the girl who he just needs to grab and kiss to shut me up. I tend to over think and worry about things. But again, I'm a girl, I can't help it, we're made to think more emotionally
