oh boy...

"When did my life become a...a tapestry of men? a tangled skein of suitors?" This quote is, I feel, very applicable to my life this past year.  It is from Meghan Nuttall Sayres' book Anahita's Woven Riddle.  This is one of my more beloved books, I read it at least once every year, usually more than that, but anywho...men men men...in the past twelve months, I've gone on a lot and a lot of dates.  Before this year my total date count was maybe ten.  As such, this year has given me a bit of an education on the workings of the male mind.  I've discovered several interesting things.  Thing One: a lot of guys are just trying to get some, but not all of them.  Thing Two: many guys do actually know how to treat me with respect.  Thing Three: I like being treated with respect. Thing Four: I can now usually tell when a guy is being a jerk versus a guy.  Thing Five: I don't play stupid games and although guys always say they want no nonsense, at times some do prefer it over the truth.  Thing Six: I refused to take any more crap and then I got dates with guys that are very nice. Thing Seven: I like guys.
