I wrote this a few months ago but I figured it would
a.) Be great advice for someone
b.) At least give you a good laugh
Settling is so common that you would think women would do ANYTHING just for a little attention. Now I will admit I am an attention whore. I flirt shamelessly with anyone and everyone. But I don’t settle. At least when it comes to a boyfriend that is. Girlfriending any regular dude off the street because he gives you attention is SETTLING. You don’t have to make anything official to get attention. Trust me, I’m a professional flirter, I know what I’m doing. (Now when it comes to relationships I’m not the best. You would get better results from Paris Hilton in a Calculus class.)
Personally, I take my “not settling” to the extreme and very rarely commit. I look for certain qualities and I really get to know the person before I make anything official. I tend to pick up the drugies, drunks, guys who still live with their mothers, oh yeah the whole nine yards. Therefore when it comes to serious relationships I don’t pick just anyone. Flirting buddies, on the other hand, is a different story.
When shopping for a flirting buddy, someone to provide attention, I have been know to pick up anyone. I’ll be honest, for flirting buddies I’ve settled. I try not to, but during those desperate times when all you want is for someone to tell you your amazingly beautiful (keep in mind: most of the time guys say this is in hopes that they will be able to get into your cute tight Baby Phat jeans.) you slip up. Hell I’ve given my number to the guy in front of me, standing in the Wal-Mart checkout line. Did I mention he was stoned out of his mind? No I didn’t? Whoopsidaisy well you know now. I slipped up. I picked up a “not so right guy” for myself. I’m in the process of getting rid of him now; a week in a half later when I find out his criminal record is as long as my drive way. See if I wouldn’t have settled I wouldn’t be in this mess.
My point? Don’t settle. Especially not for a boyfriend. Try not to for a flirting buddy; but if you do, count it as a “whoopsidaisy” fix it and move on.
As always thanks for reading. Make sure you leave me a note so I can check out your writing! =]
