Marriage has always been something that has scared me. It never seemed appealing to me; why would I want to engage in something that has a 50% failure rate? I'm worried that my wife won't relish my hobby of buying cars and learning how to restore them. That's my hobby and I'm not giving it up.
However, I think overall, I am sick of being single. It does certainly have some good points though. It is nice not having anyone to answer to. It is nice not feeling obligated to anyone. If I feel like laying in bed all day, I don't have anyone to constantly nag me about getting out of bed.
I'm almost 29 years old. I feel as though I should be married by now, or least close to it. Even though I have not quite reached the financial security that I had hoped to reach by the time I get married, I am close enough. I have a lot to offer a girl, if she can see it. I can offer more to a girl than most guys my age in my opinion. I have a lot of potential. I'm an engineer and I work for Lockheed Martin MFC. How many guys do you know can say that? I didn't think so.
Of course, I cannot get married without having a girlfriend first. I have one in my entire life. Yes, that is no typo. ONE. I'm not stupid and have more than half a brain in my head. Don't bother playing games with me because I will not play them back.
I always have girls tell me that they can't understand why I have such a difficult time even getting a date. I couldn't get a date if I were a calendar. A lot of girls even think I'm hot. Whatever. I don't exactly have girls fawning over me, at least that I'm aware of. I'm pretty oblivious to girls blatantly flirting with me. It will be obvious to everyone else but me.
I will tell you this though. I am picky and looks do matter to me. Call me shallow if you want, but I need to be with someone I'm sexually attracted to. In other words, I like a nice body. I am a sicker for nice hair. I do not think that I am asking for a lot in my opinion. Some people don't care what their mate looks like, but I do. I need to feel some sort of physical attraction to her or else I just won't be interested at all. I don't care what she does for a living either, though being a hairdresser or masseuse will definitely get brownie points with me. I'd also want someone who is more outgoing than I am. I'm a little on the shy side.
I'm pretty generous and will buy you gifts. I not going to just let you walk all over me though and be a doormat.
If you are looking for a jock who has some dangerous and exciting life then I won't hold your interest. But, if you are interested in someone who actually has a real job and career, then you might be what I am looking for. So, here is my question to you. Do you have what it takes to be my girlfriend?
