How to stay single

The other day, I was enjoying an overly hot Princess shower. Yup, a long steamy shower, hot enough to scald the skin and to take the bite off of a New England cold day. And during that shower, I played a mental mind game...I do that a lot...keeps me sharp.

For your blog reading enjoyment, I'm going to share those thoughts with you.

That particular game consisted of creating the perfect girlfriend from the bits and pieces I liked most about the women I've dated in my time.

Hmmmmm, intriguing no?

Go ahead and take a moment to reflect on what you liked BEST about someone you were once intimate with and make a list...and go through them all.

That's what I did.

See, the thing about a Princess shower is that they are quite, luxurious and a tad bit...not so, well ah, um...well...they aren't always eco-friendly.

In short, it's a very long shower.

Anyway, I haven't dated that many women...though I've lusted after tons. Yum, women are great.

So, yeah in the shower compiling my list when it dawns on me...

...that list is precisely why I'm still single.

Hmmmpff.

But, lemme explain.

I'm not single because I can't find Mrs. Right...I'm single because you are ALL Ms. Right Now. Sure, you may not fulfill a lifetime of needs, but you'll certainly fulfill some type of want.


Though I'm a grown up, I've got a lot of growing to do and that is manifested in the women I choose to date.

[Still, in the shower]

Finally, I had to come up with a resolution...the hot water was start to run out and this is what I came up with...if you can't date just one, then why not just date them all?
