once upon a time

When I was single (Yes I can remember that far back lol) I was looking for stability. The good looking cocky guys were fun to party with, but when it came down to it, it was all about the stability and respect. I will tell the story of the night I fell in love with my husband. I had gone on a road trip with my best friend to visit her boyfriend in Utah. One night we went dancing with some of his buddies, and to be honest I was WAY TOO intoxicated for my own good.  A friend and one of his buddies drove me back to my hotel and walked me to my room. Knowing that my best friend was staying with her boyfriend, and I would be alone, the buddy politely asked if he could sleep on the couch and make sure I was ok. The entire night he laid next to me and held my hand while we talked, he never once made an inappropriate move. He knew I was drunk and showed complete respect and restraint. The next day all I could think about was the respect he had for me. We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out and talking, and he opened every door for me, while the only move he made all weekend was holding my hand. When it was time to go, I was hooked, but had to return to work and the real world. Six weeks later we eloped, and have been happily married ever since.

To me the unattractive people are the ones who think they are better than everyone else. If you can’t be nice to everyone, that is ugly. I try to be nice to everyone, and treat everyone with respect until they prove to me that they don’t deserve my respect. Once the respect is lost, I’m not sure I ever truly give it back. Yes, Duck’s theory makes since to me. Even in my friendship choices I try to give everyone the benefit of a positive outlook, but it usually only takes a few minutes for me to decide if the person is honest or full of poopoo. Once I make a decision, it is rare for me to change my mind.
