my husband always says that. that he used to think if he started treating women with no respect, maybe he could attract 'the hot ones'. (and eh's so great. i think i've forgotten how to open doors myself, because he always opens them. i gave my mother a ride soemwhere and he went to open her door and she was astounded (duh! like i don't deserve to have every door opened for me!). he said that he used to open doors for his girlfriends, but they'd be offended by it. so he quit, until he met me.
i think it takes a certain kind of woman to appreciate respect (sounds odd, doesn't it?). ok, maybe not respect, but chivalry. you know what sealed the deal in regards to my husband? i met his family. and i saw how he treated them. t hey'd sit around and play guitar together. and i knew that's what i'd want for my future children.
guess what i'm saying is... just hang in there. there's a special woman out there who appreciates you for who you are jay. and don't you dare settle for anything less, you got it?
happy holidays dear. maybe 2007 is the year you'll meet her (hey, adn don't forget, sometimes friends make the best partners! i was friends with mr kk for a year or two before i even realized 'hey! this guy's great! and it took my sister meeting him and pointing out that he was interested before i even realized. sometimes they're right under our noses and we miss it!)
