Women, if you are seeking love, do not settle. Do not settle for a man who treats you anything less than royalty. Find a man who remembers your eye color. Find a man who knows your shoe size and who can memorize every dress you've ever worn, who knows you're style.
Find a man who knows you're favorite meal, alcoholic cocktail, hole-in-the-wall diner and favorite flavor of ice cream. So when he notices your day is going poorly, without needing a second thought or hint he will surprise you with candlelit homemade dinner, your favorite much needed beverage to take the edge off, a delightful trip to that favorite waitress, ending the night with her favorite piece of cheesecake, pie or ice cream.
Find a man who wants to carry you up the stairs. Find a man who opens doors, even automatic ones. Find a man who will learn to love the things you do when he knows nothing about the subject. Find a man who looks to surprise you every day and whose one true purpose in life is to see you smile, which in turn will make him smile. Find a man who plans around you. Find a man who cares not of waiting for you. Find a man who would fly, drive, ride, walk and crawl to the ends of the earth to meet you, to spend five minutes and drive back.
they exist. Find a man who doesn't have money, (wait what??) but willing to spend their last $2 to their name on your favorite candy or ticket or ice tea or stuffed animal that they bought because it reminded him of you. Guys with money can have whoever they want and can drop you as they please. Guys with no money who want you have nothing and nothing to lose. They feel more. Seek those guys out. They want nothing more then you. True gentlemen and chivalry still exists. It does.
Men who are left and hold on hope are hard to come by. Get them back. Men who can move on are not worth it. Contrary to what they may say, they are not seeking true partnership or love. The ones who can freely move on seek ownership and lust. They don't want you. They move on so easily because anyone can fulfill that need for them. They move on and on and on. A man who truly loves and holds on will actually hurt every day, but let you go at the same time. They will set you free and give you what you want. Albeit in pain, they care for you more than their desire for you and if that is what you truly want, they will leave you alone, hoping. The whole "if you truly love them, set them free" saying. But know they hurt so much.
I am biased. I am a guy you see. But from as much of an objective place as I can be, know that those people exist and are out there. Men and women too. Do not settle for anything less. Don't settle for average. Travel the world, ride a pony, drive through a tree, sleep under the stars, get a dog, see an elephant, see the Pacific, see them, see you with them, see your future. Enjoy it.
