The List

I have this idea in my head of that the perfect man would be like for me. It all came out one day in a list after years of not getting what I want. I have heard over and over again that you shouldn't define your "perfect" man by a list and the chances of finding that guy with everything on my list are slim to none. Call me crazy but I think he is out there...somewhere! So here it is...my list and an explanation of why these are important qualities in my "perfect" man.

1. Has to REALLY be Single---I dated a married guy once. I met him on my 24th birthday and when I asked him if he had a girlfriend he said "no." So obviously I believe him and don't think he would lie already...right??! Turns out he was actually telling the truth he didn't have a girlfriend...he HAS A WIFE! Dirtbag! It was too late when I found out the "truth" I already liked him A LOT. He told me over and over that he was getting a divorce. Lots of "baby I love you the papers are filled out" and "I promise it's going to happen SOON" more like blah, blah, blah...I am lying through my teeth. Long story short, the divorce never happened. So take it from me ladies...if he isn't completely divorced just STAY AWAY. And remember he is getting divorced for a reason!

2. Has to have a Job---I work too hard for my money and I do not need to support a guy who is too lazy to get off his butt and get a job. Be a pizzaboy (haha) for all I care! At least its a job! Guys with no motivation are not worth my time!

3. No more than ONE Baby Mama---Simply put...it is never easy dating a guy whose child(ren) have a crazy mom!

4. Has to get along with My Friends---let's face it ladies...if your friends can't stand your man the relationship is bound to fail. And who the heck are you supposed to turn to when your friends just don't want to hear it because they hate him!? Take it from me NO GUY IS WORTH LOSING FRIENDS OVER! I learned this the hard way and am forever grateful for a friends "tough love" approach when she couldn't stand the guy I was with--I learned firsthand what it was like to not have her there when I needed her and it SUCKED! But now I still have her as a friend and the guy...yep he's LONG gone!

5. Not addicted to video games---I have seen too many guys pay more attention to their video games than their girlfriends. And then when you try to learn they just get frustrated with you because you aren't playing their game right. Or in my case...the one time I tried to learn I got the character stuck in a corner and could not figure out how to get out!

6. Has a Car---Or at least some form of transportation. I hate driving for one and two I am not a taxi. And I would prefer not to ride on the back of his bike to our date!

7. Good Teeth---that's just on the list because I have a weird thing about teeth :)

8. Doesn't do Drugs---Boys with drug problems just cause you problems! I have had two serious boyfriends who did drugs and one of them still can't kick the habit. I thought I could "save" these morons but as it turns out you cannot help someone who just doesn't care enough to be sober or that doesn't even want to be sober for that matter!

9. Good Looking---No Brainer!! You definitely have to be attracted o the guy you are with!

10. Has to be somewhat funny---Every girl wants a guy who can make her laugh a little!

So there it is! Not to crazy of a list and I don't think I am asking for too much...right??
