Don’t run away to Siberia just yet! I don’t know, I guess I’m just against cold weather…
Me, I’m just moving to Kenya. Literally!
Seriously. I’m glad I’m not dating. All the good Catholic boys I know are taken, the others are terrified of girls, and the others are nominally Catholic and only want one thing! The thing is, I do like nice guys and I try to spend time with them, but they run like heck if they find out I’m interested. Or they don’t love themselves. As for men doing the chasing, it always freaks me out when someone pursues me. I’m not prey. I know, it’s different if he’s a good man who’s wooing you. But I’ve never really had that experience, so I can’t say I “know”.
And then there are the ones who think I act “like a man” because I’m adventurous and want to go after things. Whatever. I don’t have time for a dude who doesn’t appreciate me. I want someone who is also curious about the world and wants to make a difference. We’d teach any children of ours to do likewise and to value their education. Yes, guys, you WANT a strong, educated woman to have your kids, whether she stays home or not!
If I can’t find someone who respects it, I would gladly live out my days as a single lady. At least my friends appreciate me and I’d be able to devote my life to other things.
