"Are you willing to GIVE as much as you expect to RECEIVE?"
Recently I had an opportunity to do a lot of really awesome people watching. I was sitting in the lobby of this swanky spot watching beautiful people while I was dressed in camouflage shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops. Among beautiful people...the chick in camo shorts and ponytail is a NON-PERSON. LOL!
So yeah...EPIC people watching occurred.
As I was sitting there, this guy sat on the arm of the sofa I was sitting on. He wasn't in my space but he was close enough to talk to me without yelling and he said, "I'm not bothering you am I?"
To which I looked up and said..."Nope. It ain't my sofa."
And dude smiled brilliantly and started trying to chat me up.
I looked at him and dude was pretty well dressed. I'm talking to the NINES dressed. Suit impeccably tailored. Fancy shoes. The works.
And he was pretty gorgeous.
Turns out he'd seen me earlier struggling with movie posters and had a million questions as to what I do. He sat on the sofa next to me and we talked while we people watched. Women were looking at he and I wondering what the fug cuz he was all dressed for the event happening and I was in my shorts and t-shirt straight chilling. And these women let it be known by their body language, lips and eyes that they were WAY interested in getting to know him more.
I smirked.
Then...he asked me what was my main motivation for doing what I do and I told him the truth.
Me: I want to retire my husband. I want him to be able to wake up and do whatever the hell he wants to do for the rest of his life no matter what it is.
And dude *BLINKED* at me.
Him: Wow. That's pretty cool. I wish I could find someone who felt that way.
And I looked at him side eyed knowing dude prolly had fifty-lleven women who would do anything for him based on what he looked like alone and what he prolly did for a living. I deduced this not knowing who he was or what he did but given where I was at the time...I figured he was someone who did big things.
Me: I'm sure you don't have any problems finding women and your azz prolly has one now who thinks she's the one and would be hurt knowing you just said that.
T-MONNIE MODE.
And as we continued talking I asked him, "Are you willing to GIVE as much as you're want to RECEIVE? Cuz seriously...THAT'S why my motivation is what it is because my husband gives me his all."
And dude said all the right things as his eyes wandered the room, stopping at this woman and then this woman speaking an unspoken language he was used to speaking with women who knew how to translate it. The person I was waiting on arrived and I put my iPad away and rolled out telling him I hoped he had a nice time and that he figured out to get what he claims he wants.
But I wouldn't hold my breath.
He looked thoughtful and stood up. As I was leaving...a chick rolled up on him and I kept it moving WITH A SMIRK.
I still don't know who dude was as he never told me his name. Like...it never came up. He simply assumed I knew. LOL!
Yeah...dude ain't ready.
But I find many men aren't. They want it all but have no intention of GIVING it all.
And I feel so sorry for all the women who ARE ready but get caught up with dude's who ain't.
*sigh*
What say you?
