What I Want Wednesday

I'm gonna be real honest here for a minute.  I know that I make relationships difficult.  Good ones I let go because I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop (is that the saying?).  Everyone is fucked up like me right? Yeah, that's what is firmly planted in my brain. I'm a 31 year old college educated chick that still manages to surround myself with boys who are not my equal and are definitely not superior to me.  I have a thing for boys that need "fixed" knowing full well, you can't fix people.  I tried to do that for a long time.  What I present to you at this time is what I want in a boy right this minute.....

• He's gotta have a job.  Preferably not one in which he works 60+ hours a week.  Been there, done that, it sucks. I don't even really care that it's not a well paying job.  I've got my own stuff and am relatively low maintenance.
• He's gotta have a car.  I don't even necessarily care if it's nice or not.  The drive of shame in the morning in my car on my way to work isn't gonna cut it....
• He has to understand that my life is difficult.  Hello? I have 3 kids... I'm not looking for a father for my kids.  They have fathers, or rather sperm donors.... But really, I've got a lot of stuff going on.  Demands for more of my time are not going to go over well simply because I don't have any more time to give anyone. 
• He needs to like my friends and I'd try my hardest to like his, even if they are complete douchebags.
• Some nights I just want to curl up and watch tv, but other nights we're going to go out and party like rock stars.  I need the best of both worlds here.
• It'd be nice to have date night once in awhile but not till after I know you for awhile and it's not really considered a date....
• Of course you have to be above average looking.  Whoever said that looks don't matter is stupid.  They matter a whole lot.  For God sakes, if you're ugly now, what are you gonna look like when we're old? Which leads directly into....
• They have to take care of themselves.  Yeah, I'm not trying to get with you if you think double quarter pounders are acceptable for two meals a day.  Been there, done that.  I'm not putting up with your fat ass having a heart attack or any such shit.  
• I LOVE ME A MAN WHO SMELLS GOOD.  I love it even more if I wake up the next morning and my pillow smells like his cologne. 
• Give me something to talk to you about.  As much as I may act stupid on occasions, I'm really not.  I didn't spend all those years going to college and coming thisclose to graduating with honors to meet someone who can't even hold my attention for two minutes.
• Must love football.  Both college and pro and can talk about it knowing wtf he's talking about.  I'd prefer he wasn't an Ohio State fan, but being where I live, this rule has to bend a little.....
• Must understand that I am a white girl with no rhythm.  Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT ARE AROUND US, don't ask me to dance.  I'm not capable of it.

Hmmm, well, I think that's about it.  Do I sound too picky?  See? I didn't think so... 

In related news, I might have just found the male version of me a couple of weeks ago.  I'm seriously crushing on this guy.  I've known him for awhile, but the circumstances of getting with him were and still are somewhat complicated.  I'll talk about that in more depth another time.  He's gone out with all of us a couple of times and has hung out at the house off and on for the last week.  Hell, he even asked me to actually go on a date with him next weekend, which is just total crazy talk.  I don't go on dates.....  We'll see how it goes.  He's banged up emotionally right now, but no worse than where I am.......
