I am currently living in a situation that is totally uninviting to a potential partner. I am pretty much unable to leave my home for any extended periods of time right now, and the place is a complete mess. I'm not talking about a simple clean-up here, I'm talking more like what you'd see if you wanted into an old storage shed at a factory that has been closed for several years. We're talking a major remodeling event needed here, not just a superficial clean up.
So what's the scoop? Should I just fact the fact that I'm not in a position to ask a woman to come into my life right now? And wait until next summer after I "clean up my act"? Or should I go ahead and ask a woman to come into my life "as is" knowing that I have a heart of gold waiting for her which is more important than the superficial stuff?
I mean, in my mind, I'm sure it will all be romantic for her in the long haul. In fact, when she looks back on the "early days" she's probably say those were the most romantic of all moments anyway. Yet, it does seem hard to get a woman to actually take the plunge. It's like they expect that "finished project" first so-to-speak.
Whadda think? Do you think there are many women who would take a chance starting out with a man who's basically at an all-time low in his life?
besides, tomorrow comes with another whole set of problems...maybe the all-time low isn't as low as we imagine at the time? and, abra, never compare to ideals! oh fatal trap, that.
I am embarrassed to bring invite someone to my home if there's so much as a spec of dust on the floor. I'm VERY self-critical when it comes to stuff like that. Which is why no one ever comes here. Cuz there's always specs of dust on my floor -- and then some.
But...I would say...think about it. Would YOU feel comfortable going to someone's home that was reminiscent of an old storage shed at a factory that had been closed for several years? I know I wouldn't be.
But...by the same token, if I was interested in someone, I'd volunteer to help them clean it up.
An all time low could be changed to an all time high with the right woman. Having lows is the common denominator here. If you want to talk, flower me. I'll call. Paws
Now that I think about it,…. I was feeling a bit depressed when I was with my last girlfriend. My mother had just died, and to be perfectly honest I wasn't exactly thrilled about my last girlfriend either.
Anyway, I kept apologizing to her for being lazy. She kept saying, "God! If you call what you do being lazy I can't imagine what you must be like when you ambitious!"
I had fabricated and installed all her window frames, painted the ceiling in two rooms of her house, fixed her car, and cleaned up her entire yard. And that was just while I was moping around at her place for a couple days.
Owl bet Arabella wouldn't mind me coming up and being lazy at her place for a while. Or Nene either.
Women always seem to like it when the hunk comes to repair their abodes.
Well, being disabled, I cannot do things like before...and, I do not have help, yet. but, it didn't stop me from accepting someone in my home. renovations, messes... all that can be cleaned up. stuff is stuff.
You are an intelligent man and there is alot more to you than your house. I do think there are women out there that would overlook the superficial stuff and be able to see the potential of it all.
