Ok, so my friend showed me this on Facebook today, and I realized: he makes a very good point! Just watch.
Point A) The idea is to get the RIGHT guy (or girl....) to like me. Not just ANYone, the RIGHT one. I've spent too long hoping that someone would like me, and then took whoever came along and said they did. And I suppose, in their own way, they did like me...just not for the reasons I wanted them to. Whoever I end up with will respect me for me. This is non-negotiable.
Point B) Patience...not my best attribute; meaning, I have none. But it's a work in progress. One that I should probably apply toward my future...whoever. (Person? Mate? Spouse? Companion? Life-partner? I'm confused....)
Point C) I have self-worth, and I need to realize that. I am not a product of my ex-boyfriends, and any shit they said about me or things they did to me is not a reflection of who I am. I am beautiful, and smart, and silly, and (usually) quite sweet.
Point D) I'm generally a nice person anyway...I just have to work on not coming across as rude when I don't know someone. Apparently, I do that. I would normally label that as "I'm shy", but I don't think anyone who knows me would actually buy that....
Point E) Does this mean I need to learn about video games if I'm going after a guy (or certain girls I guess)? I could get my brother to teach me... I already know about football. More than enough. Although, ideally, whoever I decide to date would already have stuff in common with me.
Point F) Got this one down. I am quite needy (in a good way), and I open my heart to everyone I care about. I am quite loving...and loveable. Right?
Point G) Chivalry...are you sure that's not dead?
Point H) Also not a problem. The worst outfit I wear in public is a tank top and jeans. So scandalous! Not.
Point I) I don't normally think that I subscribe to the crap Hollywood tries to feed us, but then again... I did reach the point where I thought guys would only stay with me if I slept with them. I know, not my brightest moment, but it happens. I have started to realize that this idea is complete BS; if a guy (or girl) only wants in my pants, he (or she) is obviously not worth my time. Especially if he thinks the back of his car or an empty movie theater is going to help matters.
Point J) Boundaries...ooh, yeah...that's a big one. Again, no sleeping with someone just to keep them interested (chances are, they won't be interested after they sleep with you because they are douchebags). It's that "respecting myself" thing again. If I respect myself, then I will attract people who will respect me and not push the boundaries I choose to set up. Which means I probably ought to set some up...eventually. Currently, not an issue.
Point...K) haha, now this one is easy. So long as "myself" doesn't scare people away. Although...the right person wouldn't be scared away....hmmm....interesting thought.
I know this is one of my more random posts, but the video caught my attention and I wanted to get my thoughts down so I would have something to reference later...when I actually get back in the dating scene. If ever.
