| You Are A Romantic Realist |
You are more romantic than 50% of the population.  You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...But you'd never admit it to your friends! |
Oh look, I'm more of a sap than you thought. :-o I'll bet you thought I was going to score <10%.>
Good grief. Guys always say I'm just like "one of the guys." You know, they'll belch, talk about other girls, crack "manly jokes" (i.e., the kind that are deemed inappropriate for the general population), punch me in the shoulder to say hi... and it doesn't bother me a fig. I just thought they were always like that. But then another girl comes in the room, and poof! The guys become different people. If a belch is heard, it is always followed by an "excuse me." No manly jokes are cracked, for they are far too brash for the ladies' sensitive ears. Don't get me wrong - guys, I'm glad you feel comfortable enough around me to just be yourselves, but the fact that you can become completely different people in front of the "real ladies" almost disgusts me. I don't know. I'm starting to wonder if the "you're just like one of the guys" thing is really a compliment or not.
I have no problems hanging with the guys and being myself - those of you who know me well can attest to this. It's part of my personality, and quite frankly I'm happiest when I can be as blunt and brutally honest as I want to be and not have to worry about what the other person is thinking. But it can get difficult when guys forget that you are a girl. I mean, all I did today was wear a pair of pants to class that were a little more flashy than usual (yes, my loud striped corduroys) and wouldn't you know, the guys started hootin' and hollerin' and makin' a fuss over my "bold" pants. (Well, that's good news - I guess that means they're alive.) Pleeeease. And you know what? The guys who find me even remotely attractive have one of two characteristics: they are either old or drunk. (There was one guy who was both.) Is it because that's when they suddenly remember I'm a girl? Or maybe they are trying to hit on anything that's available? Whatever.
I think I'm doomed to a life of singleness. I don't flirt. I am oblivious to being checked out (Mom has to point it out to me when it happens). And I usually respond incorrectly when a guy takes the indirect approach of asking me out. (Remember my shotgun problem?) If God ever decides to send me a man, I honestly don't know if he will be able to put up with my feistyness. The poor guy... I feel sorry for him already, if he exists. ::sigh:: Perhaps I am doing the world a favor by being single...

awww, don't be down in the dumps! guys are just weird, that's all (sorry guys) and so are we (in guys' eyes). i've always been "one of the guys" too and it's not a bad thing. trust me on this. it's really frustrating. i think that if you were meant to be single, then you wouldn't even think about dating or guy(:-P), but you are...and i'm sure God wants you to find someone special. just think, when you find that guy, it's going to be extra special because you had to wait... =)
I think that Hollywood has spoiled us all into thinking that meeting someone happens effortlessly via fate.
In reality it's just like everything else. It's work, and you get out what you put in.
