Honestly, you would think I had asked these guys I date for the moon. I didn't! I really, really didn't!
I'm trying to keep from believing all guys are jerks, but it's getting harder and harder every day!
Sadly, I have an extremely long history of guys I'm dating disappointing me. Please take note of the fact that I bend over backwards to try to please them. If they mention their favorite food I cook it for supper. If they mention something they love it is their b-day or Christmas gift. Unfortunately, they don't usually reciprocate.
The first example I can remember is when I was dating Chaz. I had asked Chaz several times to be my date for my 5 year high school reunion. He kept saying no, time after time. I finally sent in my rsvp for 1. He told me a few days before the reunion he'd be willing to go. I said no thanks!
Now, I have to say that in the beginning of our relationship Mike went out of his way to do things I had expressed an interest in. Just a few weeks into our relationship I had mentioned that I'd like to see The Lion King musical in ATL. He got us tickets. I told him I'd never seen a Braves game or attended a college football game and he took me to both! A couple of years into our relationship we were planning a trip to Biloxi. I wanted to go see Harry Connick, Jr. in concert. (Please note that Mike made a 6 figure salary.) Mike said we could stay at the Beau Rivage (an upscale hotel and casino in Biloxi) or go see Harry, but not both. Okay, I wasn't really upset, but I kept thinking why not both. I picked Harry and we stayed at some cheap-o place in Biloxi. The worst disappointment I had with Mike actually occurred after we broke up. I knew he was seriously dating someone else and that was okay. We still kept in touch to a degree. A few weeks after Thanksgiving Mike called me to check in. He told me he was thinking about me when he and his new girlfriend were in NYC watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade because he knew that was on my Bucket List. WTH!!! Really, you went with another girl to do something on my bucket list and you bragged about it?! Forget you!
A few years back I dated the hoarder. On top of being a hoarder he was an astrology buff. He had great telescopes and loved star gazing. I mentioned on a date that one of my dream dates was to sit out in a field on an old blanket star gazing. Guess what was one of the things he didn't bother to do? That's right! Forget stargazing. We never even looked through the telescope sitting on his deck!
I know I've mentioned my "Charlie Sheen" guy. On top of being a Charlie Sheen clone he is also seriously into rafting. I have mentioned several times that I'd love to go rafting. What have we not done? Correct! We have not gone rafting. To put icing on the cake I had mentioned last week that I would love to see a certain movie. Guess what movie he saw this weekend after he went rafting?
Good grief! I'm really not asking for the moon! But it would be nice if a guy even bothered to pay attention to my interests and needs!
My guess, is it would take a trip to the moon and further out into space to find someone who would.
