Just sayin

Dear Single Men between the ages of 25 -30,

Just because I am of a certain age does NOT mean that I am on the hunt for a husband. I have had one serious relationship in my entire life (ok, 27 years, I'll own up to it) and I'd really like to do again sometime soon. "Serious" meaning monogamous....meaning that I care for the guy, want to hang out with him, do stupid things with him, go on adventures with him, have hot sex with him, maybe even love him. It does not mean that I'm looking to steal him away from his boys and cut off his balls as a trophy. It does not mean that I want to move into his apartment and take over his life. It means that I am tired of hooking up and screwing around. I'm tired of the game playing and the leading on. I still live with my parents and I only work part-time...no, that does not make me a lazy, spoiled princess who's looking for a rich man to marry. I'm ambitious and hard working...I want to be able to stand on my own two feet and support myself before I start supporting a family. I'm online everyday sending out my resume and I've been going on interviews on a fairly regular basis for a few months now. My family's been going through a rough time and I've been helping out a lot. But anyway....before I even think about walking down the aisle, I want an awesome job that I'm proud of, I want to travel the world and experience life! I'm not clingy, codependent, or bitchy. I'm a girly girl, but not so girly that I can't kill bugs. I like beer, baseball, and action movies almost as much as I like champagne, ballet, and chick flicks. I love spending time with a guy, but I also love girl's night out and I need my "me" time. I think I'd make a pretty kick-ass girlfriend if given the chance and any guy would be lucky to have me. In conclusion, I'm not looking for someone to buy me a ring - if I really wanted one, I'd save up and buy it myself. I'm not looking to be rescued. I'm looking for a boyfriend, plain and simple. Oh yeah, and that cup of coffee I asked you to come get with me? It's a cup of coffee, not a marriage proposal!

Sincerely (God forbid I use the "L" word and freak you out),

Lindsay
