It's Your Loss

The age old question, is it me? Or is it you? On a rainy Sunday morning when I really can't figure out for the life of me why some people think the things they do, I have to ask myself what in the world am I doing wrong? Or is it that I am doing everything right, but they are just wrong?

For now, I am going with they are wrong. After a few phone calls (that lasted at least an hour each), I thought I would be clever and flirty. However, I will have you know, clever and flirty can very well backfire on you into "You are the type of girl who needs her man around all the time, and I am not that guy". Hmmm.... I am amazed at the stupidity of that comment. This is the response I got to a flirty message asking this particular boy if he could take a break from his horse to meet me out on a Saturday night. I guess you cant really joke via text. It obviously is taken the wrong way.

I am one of the most independent and strong women I know. I do not need a man in my life and I sure as shit do not need to spend every waking minute with another human being. I lead a busy and hectic life. And I like it. And I am not even sure I want to make time for another person in this crazy life, but I was hoping I would meet someone who I would want to make the time for. I work an infinite amount of hours at a job that pays me close to minimum wage, I am working on my masters which takes up more time than any human being has in a day, I have a 7 month old monster puppy that needs obedience on a daily basis, I have friends that I love, I have family that I love, and then I have the gym, hiking, running, reading, watching movies, eating chocolate.... the list is endless.

So where do I have time to have or want my guy around all the time? I dont. Anyone that knows me is fully aware that my last relationship was pretty non existent in the being around all the time category. I like having time for myself. If I didn't, where would I find time for my shopping hobby??

So to you Mr. Cowboy, it is your loss. Your loss indeed. Don't judge someone before you even get to know them. You could miss out on the best thing that has ever happened to you. I don't have time in my life for people who are that quick to judge anyway.
