Sunday already?
07.02.06 (3:40 pm)   [edit]

Is it okay to date someone with whom you don't see a future? Is it a waste of time? I think it kind of is.

Man, my nails are long. I never use finger nail polish. I don't have the time to wait for them to dry! And then they get chipped so quickly.

Friday night, I went out with some people from work. One of them was a temp we had. I finally figured out what the proper term for her was -- princess! We're about the same age (born in the mid-70s), and she  is obsessed with finding a man and getting married. However, she has standards. When she says them out loud, it almost sounds kind of superficial. Maybe she just has the guts to say it.

She just wants to be married to a rich guy and then she won't have to work. Her typical day during the work is this...get up for work, work, go home, nap, wake up when dinner is ready (she still lives at home), go out, come home, and sleep.

So her future husband has to be educated and makes more money than she does (like double). I'd like to date a guy who has a university education, but it's not a must. I find that I get really bored talking to people who don't have an education or have a clue what's going on in the world. I'd like to be with someone who makes at least what I do. I am used to my way of life, and I think I would be dragged down by someone who doesn't make a lot.

She wants her future husband to be Chinese -- preferably a Honger (slang for someone from Hong Kong who hasn't embraced all facets of Canadian life). That part should be easy enough. She doesn't want a white at all! I wonder what it'd be like to date a Honger. I am so clueless about modern day Chinese immigrants. All my closest friends are white. Some might say I'm a banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside), but I never use that term!!

I'd like a white guy who either knows a lot about Chinese culture or who would be open to embracing it. Do I sound like I'm placing an order at a fast food restaurant? I told the temp I like my guys between 5'10" and 6'2" around 180 - 220 pounds. She said that'd be impossible for a Chinese guy. BWAHAHA I didn't mention I like them well-endowed, but I do -- the girth of my wrist and two handfuls length-wise would be perfect. Oh, and uncut. But all these things are not deal makers or deal breakers.

Anyway, I am a little bored with Cute Butt Boy. I'm not sure we have that much to talk about. Maybe it's because we don't have that much in common. And my feeling is that he is just into casual dating even though he said he was ready to focus on just one girl. But from what he says, it's like he's ready to focus on just one girl but not really be committed.

When a guy calls me not well in advance to make plans with me, doesn't really include me in his future plans, it makes me give up. I guess I need to feel like I am a part of his life. I'm not feeling the connection. At what point do I cut things off?!

i know what your saying- how what your looking for in a guy can seem like ordering off the menu.. but its really not all that superficial. i think when we know ourselves to know what will and what wont work, we should be honest enough to put it out there.

i didnt have many "requirements" that i looked for when i was dating. the right guy just kinda fell into my lap.

Having a degree these days doesn't guarantee a lotta dough these days! A guy with a degree is good, but a curious mind and a willingness to learn is just as good!

I think it is a waste too..Why invest time into something that is not your future?

Some women have been extremely patient, like almost 10 years, they got what they wanted. I couldn't do that...

And people rag me about my requirements for a man? I've NEVER mentioned income (other than being financially stable), race, penis size or circumcision status. Geesh.

What about his character? ambitions? personality? passions?

*L* I don't go telling this stuff to just anyone! None of my desired qualities and characteristics are deal breakers ;-)

From there, it's just a slippery slope to having a 'list'. Mwahahaa.

Never writing it down makes it up for 'interpretation' and when you're blinded by a hot tush or whatever, sometimes it allows for wiggle room, which in the long run, can be detrimental.
