My kind of guy...

I went out with some guy. He kept asking me why do I always seem resented with boys; which I am not, by the way, I love boys, I just don't think there is one single boy worth my whole interest - which would imply drawing my interest away from other not-worthy-either-but-still-cute-boys, When I gave him my answer, he asked
-well, which kind of guy would be worth such interest? (of course, he said this look in his eyes... as if there was any chance at all I would say anything that might make him believe he is that kind of guy)
- I don't know
- Then how are you going to find what you want if you don't know what it is??
- I guess, by dating lots of dudes and realizing that is NOT what I want.
From that moment on, this guy kept trying to impress me (just like everyone else) telling me how much he liked everything I like and how he knows I've heard it before, but "He's not like other guys" (I mean come on!! that phrase is sooooo being just like other guys... actually, that very phrase quite an obvious factor to determine how much they are like other guys). He drove me home
- So, do you know what kind of guy is the right for you now?? (looking at me as if I was going to answer "yes!!! you are!!!!! take me now!!!!)
- No, but I'm a bit closer
- oh really?? (he moved his face towards mine expecting a kiss I think)
- This is NOT what I want .
I left him in the car and walked into my house. After so many dates, I still have no clue of what I want. I mean, the obvious characteristics have been there since I was five, I want someone with a sense of humor and someone I can get along with blah blah blah, but that is never enough. I do however notice a repetitive pattern of behavior that strikes over and over in most of my dates, and that makes quite clear the things I don't like.

1) I don't want a guy who tries to impress me. I don't ask you to be rich, handsome, smart, talented or anything, I'm really open for almost anything, but if you're neither of those things don't try to make me believe you are, it insults my intelligence, and if you are so, then don't tell me, I wanna see it happen, not hear your stories about it. I don't care if you saved seven children from a fire or made three million dollars over the internet, I don't care if your exgirlfriend was sooo jealous because you are soooo pretty... honest, I don't care. The art of a conversation is highly spoiled by your babbling on how great you are. Just say what's in your head. I'd rather hear you talk about how good your chicken is or how you got soaked by a car earlier than about how you were first in your class.

2) It seriously disgusts me when guys say "yes" to everything (wasn't that supposed to be a girl's annoyance???) or the typical
- Where are we going?
- Wherever you want...
- What are we doing tonight??
- You choose
- What are you going to order??
- I'll have the same as you...
boooooooooooooring!!!!!!


3) Another boring attitude is that when they tell me they like everything I like. Some guy once saw me walking with my guitar (here, I should mention I was walking in a coffee place where tons of musicians hang out) and came close to me. In stead of "hello" "what's your name" "how are you" or " how you doin???" or any other average pickup line, he decided to play interesting and say
- I play guitar too
- Everyone plays guitar in here
- yeah, but I'm good
- Many people are
- yeah... well... hmmm... what's your name???
Three minutes of wasted time, but I didn't mind, I told him my name and accepted to drink coffee with him
- So which kind of movies do you like??
- I love horror movies. There is not such a thing as a bad horror movie, either they are good and you enjoy them or they are bad and they make you laugh.
- Yeah, I love horror movies too!!! we should go see one sometime blah blah blah - Conversation about horror movies goes on with the guy agreeing to everything I say.
- So which kind of music do you play??
- Punk rock, I guess
- No way!!! I absolutely love punk rock!!! - may I add now that the dude was dressed in all goth clothing and was carrying industrial metal cds???
- Really??? you don't seem very into punk rock
- Well, I'm not very into it, but I love it!!! - yeah...ok. So we keep talking for a while and according to his words, we have a lot in common, and I mean A LOT, so I realize it's late and announce my departure, he stops me
- Can I have your phone number?? I mean, we have a lot in common, we could go on a date or something
- Why would you want to be with someone so much like yourself?? you don't need to waste your money on dinner with a mirror, but thanks for the coffee.
I know, it was rude and kind of mean, but it's absolutely true. Either the guy is a liar (which would suck, as it;s been stablished before) or he is a lot like me. Why would I have any interest on dealing with boy issues when I can date myself and talk to myself, and agree with myself in everything (which I don't by the way...) and save myself all the trouble having the same fun???

4) Bad Poetry.If Matt Skiba came to me, showed me a song like Mercy Me and told me he was thinking of me when he wrote it, he could totally have me forever (cause I'm easy like that...) If I was married to Billie Joe Armstrong, he cheated on me, did drugs, and was never home, but then he came to me with a song like "Redundant" or "Macy's Day Parade" I would always always forgive him and stay in love with him forever. I guess a beautiful song is my weak link. If a guy came to me with a really good song and told me he wrote it for me I'd totally melt, and even if he was one of those talented assholes who can write you a nice song and then dump you, I'd still remember him as a great guy. Guys who know this about me, think they can find the way to my heart (or at least, to my panties) with a song, so I constantly recieve emails, messages and letters that start with "I was thinking of you and felt inspired, so I wrote this for you" the lines that follow are as different from each other in shape as they are alike in the lameness they carry. Things like
"you are a beautiful girl and when I think of you I like it because I like being around your prettyness...."
I mean WHAT THE FUCK???? If language is kind with you and your words obey you in the magnetic way you aspire to use them, then go ahead, write nicely, if you intend to disguise tricky words with the honesty of sighs, I might notice and think you're a liar, but you might at least get kissed, but if the written arts have been unkind to you, a "You're hot" is a lot more interesting than "your prettyness makes me jolly inside" so, unless you speak in Poe's language, speak on your own. (And also, if you're gonna try to make yourself seem like a writer, please, please, please!!!! check your spelling and grammar!!!!! I know that is not very important on regular basis, but if you're gonna try to make me believe you can write, at least be kind enough not to make it so evident how illiterate you are)

Many times, I think I don't ask for much, but I guess the little I ask for gets usually disguised by the attempt to achieve something I never asked for. The sad part is, I think this disguises are meant to gain the favors inside my panties rather than the ones inside my flesh. I wish people was willing to stop trying so hard for the first ones it's really easy, if I like you enough (which I might, since I really love boys) you don't need to make such a big effort, and if I don't, no matter how hard you try, you'll never get there!!; and somewhere deep deep inside, I wish at least one person was willing to start trying really hard for the second ones...

Ok, this was long and kind of boring, but since I hadn't posted in ages, this had all been playing around my head

My CD is out for sale now so I'm happy
