What I can't tell my dates:

“Please be that guy who will finally give me a reason to stop looking for that special something that has eluded me for so long. I’m tired of the question and answer dance that I have to play every time that I meet somebody new. I feel like I’m wasting time - time that should really be spent with somebody that I want to be with. I want somebody to share experiences with. I don’t want to have to figure out whether you’re into me or not because I’ll know it. You won’t be afraid to show it. If you’re that guy then I don’t care if you’re asking me about the next time you can see me when this time hasn’t even ended.

Please be that guy who doesn’t throw my past back in my face whenever you’re angry or upset. I want to feel safe and secure to tell you about the things that have really hurt me in my life, and how I’ve worked so hard to overcome them. I want you to be that guy who is willing to work through all the insecurities and who will grow with me and who will always make the effort where I’m concerned.

Please be that guy who realizes that people aren’t perfect, and that we all have our dark side. I want you to love the fact that I’m incredibly passionate, and to realize that when I feel things – I feel them big. I want you to be that guy who is willing to look beyond the things that I have gone through in my life, and who is willing to take the time to really get to know me because I am so worth it. I want you to love the fact that I’m so complex.”

How many 2nd dates do you think I’d get?
