Musings of a single girl

So here we are at the end of my last week of school. (for a while- I still would love to get a master's down the road a piece) Of course I've had some great conversations with friends and roommates on a variety of subjects... okay boys mainly. Most of those conversations were started by some things that I found this week:

 We often joke about becoming cat ladies ;) haha yay for being single!

I saw this video on FB:

I know about half the people being interviewed. I don't agree with this video 100% but I thought it was cute

I liked this quote, found it on Pinterest.com

This one made me think a bit when I found it.

And this last one pretty much sums up how I feel, I am willing to put forth effort but I like men to stand up and be men. If you like me, stand up and let me know. Confidence is very attractive. I will usually give guys a chance, and I always try to be straight up so you know where you stand with me.

I don't chase boys. I am pretty shy that way.

A guy who served in my mission posed this on his FaceBook page and I was pretty impressed so I decided to re-post it here:

Girls Need To Realize: WRITTEN BY A GUY

We guys don't care if you talk to other guys. We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there. We don't care if a guy calls>OR TEXTS< you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. That it can't wait till the morning. Also, when we tell you you're pretty/beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it. Don't tell us we're wrong. We'll stop trying to convince you. The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me. Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take Advantage of the mood im in. Let us pay for you! dont 'feel bad' We enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and say 'thank you. Kiss us when no one's watching. If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed. You don't have to get dressed up for us. If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own. We like you for who you are and not what you are. Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my tshirt and boxers, not all dolled up. Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don't get angry easily. Stop using magazines/media as your bible. Don't talk about how hott Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us. It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that. Whatever happened to the word 'handsome'/'beautiful' i'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with 'Hey handsome!' instead of 'Hey baby/ stud/cutie/ sexy' or whatever else you can think of. On the other hand im not sayin i woulndnt like it ether ; ) Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change!!!!! Ditch his sorry butt, disgrace to the male population and find someone who will treat you with utter respect Someone who will honor your morals. Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest. Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes. Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel. Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes....and say 'i love you' ..and actually mean it. Give the nice guys a chance. Guys repost this if you agree. Girls repost this if you think it's cute.. Every Guy who isn't a jerk will agree with this, so we hope that all the girls that read this will repost this.

Life is too short to complain about everything that comes your way so stop and smell the roses in life because you might never have another time to take it, so take your time because they are all different in every way, so take chances in life, if it doesn't work out then fine, there are always more roses to smell.


---------------------

So there you have it. Musing on love and life. Just in case you couldn't tell, yes I am still quite single. I don't mind being single, it is kind of nice to be able to do exactly what I want, when I want - but I am not opposed to getting attached. I am just moving right along with my life and waiting for someone to step  up I suppose.
