Actually, it CAN be pretty romantic. Because as straightforward and blunt as I am about the bad stuff, I'm just as straightforward and blunt about the good stuff.
I always speak my mind. I don't B.S. people, I don't sugar coat anything, I don't try to spare people's feelings. Which is probably why a lot of people think I'm an a**hole.
I dated a chick who was here from Finland for the whole year she was in the U.S. When it was time for her to go back, she wanted me to go with her, and marry her, and live in Finland. I wanted to marry her, but I wanted her to stay in the U.S. I just ended up letting her get on the plane. That was 8 years ago, and I haven't seen her since. We exchange 3 or 4 e-mails a year now, but that's about it.
And, that pretty much wraps up my experience with long distance dating.
My stepdad taught me how to be a man: treat women with respect, always do what you say you're going to do, don't lie, accept the consequences of your actions.
"I also don't like men who talk about their financial assets because that, to me, first of all is somewhat presumptuous, thinking that's a selling point for all women who are trying to land themselves a human cash register and, secondly, it makes it seem as though he thinks that money is what makes him appealing, rather than his personality or other things he might bring to the table in a relationship."
I think I mention in my profile something about making a decent living. I don't remember for sure now. But, the only reason I mention it is so that people know I'm not looking for anyone to 'take care of me', I'm not some deadbeat guy layin' around on the couch all day asking you to bring me a beer. I work, I take care of myself, I don't need anyone else's money. That's the only reason I'd mention it.
My buddy Mike. When I was struggling financially, he helped me get a job with his company. He stuck his neck out for me and told me the truth when everyone else around me was lying to my face. He's a great dude, I respect the holy hell out of him.
Ooh, good call. Now I just need a way to pass that off as my own idea, because anyone who knows me knows that I'd be incapable of thinking of something like that.
