Do People Still Date?

For awhile now I have not had the pleasure of being taken on a proper date.  Seems that chivalry is dead and that men no longer feel the need to woo a woman or to date them.  I think there is something wrong with my generation.  These so called men expect to come into a woman's home the very first time that they meet each other.  Personally I'm not comfortable with an almost stranger being in my house or knowing where I live.  The whole "kicking it" scenario is one that needs to be of the past.  In my experience men feel that they are tricking off on women if they take them out and pay for the bill.  Last night I had the pleasure of being taken on a real grown up date.  The man who has been a friend of mine just recently expressed that he had a romantic interest in me.  I was quite pleased and flattered at this finding.  He took me out to dinner and we had drinks.  I have never laughed so much and smiled so hard in a very long time. Its nice to see and know that there are actual real men still left in the world.  For all of you men who find it appalling to spend money on a woman you have a lot of growing up to do.  I am all for equal rights and yes I don't mind paying every so often.  But just so you know woman do enjoy being treated like a lady and shown a good time without having to lift a finger.  You men like to come home to a clean house and a warm meal, well we women like to be taken out and treated like a princess.  Get it right men if you don't treat your woman with all of this luxury from time to time there will be someone else who will...  I am living proof of that..

Come on LADIES!

Ladies, I have a bone to pick with you.  Ever since I was in high school I have been listening to women talk about they wish they could find a good man.  We as a gender are always complaining that there are no good men left in the world.  We say that we don't want to settle for less than we believe we are worth.  Yet, majority of women I know and are friends with are settling for men who are way less than worthy of their fabulosity.  Unfortunately due to past relationships and being jaded by unworthy men, many women fail to realize a good man when they see one.  I am gonna use a friend of mine as an example.  To protect her identity lets just call her "B.B".  Well BB has always had good men throwing themselves at her.  Whether they were professionals or athletes she has always had a good man within her reach.  Unfortunately BB has this issue with getting close to anyone.  Most of the time I want to shake the shit out of her.  She has had bad relationship after bad relationship.  Seems that she falls for the guys that don't want a commitment and have someone else in their lives.  Now she has met a perfect gentleman.  This man has cooked for her twice already, helped her son with his homework and takes BB to lunch every chance he gets.  When they are alone his phone does not ring, he does not have pictures of other chicks around and when they are out in public he is affectionate.  He treats her like a lady and he truly respects her.  But guess what?  She said she is confused as to whether he's genuine or not.  WTF!!! Come on girls!  Since when do we feel the need to question a good man?  When a lying cheating man comes in the picture we believe every word out of their mouths.  Yet a good man who is genuine and true we question....  Does this seem backwards to anyone else?  It's a new year and we aren't getting any younger.  Instead of saying what we don't want in a man why not look for what we DO want.  You are all worth more than you think.  Don't settle for less and don't question something that feels right.
