(And I think the first sign of respect is to not "give it away" outside a committed relationship headed toward marriage)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-62832764448610756832012-11-06T17:06:56.973-08:002012-11-06T17:06:56.973-08:00I'm going to take you past your last three lin...I'm going to take you past your last three lines and finish it for you.

If he doesn't, he doesn't. You do not have any magical powers. And no man who can be manipulated is worth having in the long run, because it is likely he can be manipulated by everyone else (likely his mother... a.k.a. your future mother-in-law if you continue with this nonsense). <br /><br />It's all about chemistry for a man. He'll make a commitment if he sees you as a partner, companion and supporter of his future... the one you'll share together. Otherwise, it's pointless. Accept the bumps and scrapes of dating. Keep calm and carry on. Dignity is woman's greatest virtue... if she doesn't have it for herself, she's not going to get it from man. Guaranteed. <br /><br />There are lots of men out there, and you are the right woman for the right man right now. Sitting around bitching with your girlfriends wastes precious time. And let's be honest: the march of time is more favorable to a man than a woman. I know we all need to share, digest and emote so we can move on. So get on with it and get back in the game!<br /><br />I remember that Ayn Rand once said "the qua of woman is to admire a man." When I read this, I was in my early 20s, and it seemed a bit harsh and old hat. The longer I live, the more I see that she is correct. My happiest friends are those in committed relationships that all share one thing in common: complete respect. She admires and respects him, he honors and respects her. They're in it together. That's a life worth having. The women I know in their 40s and 50s who are single feel very alone in the world. Find your match and you'll be happy. Lots of men are jerks, especially ones who don't have a moral code. <br /><br />TipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-71367737317967682612012-11-05T19:49:46.355-08:002012-11-05T19:49:46.355-08:00My wife told me that before she met me, she was pr...My wife told me that before she met me, she was pretty sure her picker was broken. She picked guys who weren't right for her. She said she had a list of ten things she looked for in a man, and the best she found was a 7. Says I'm a 12.
