If I could offer you one piece of advice...(again)

Now that the holidays are over, I thought you might like to read this again and maybe snag yourself a fun Valentine's day date... Guys, If nothing else, at least read this so that maybe one day it'll pop back up in your brains and you'll take what I have to say to heart. Ideally, you'll all stop to think about my words and maybe even some of you will finally take some action.

Let me start by saying that, yes, we women have taken many matters into our own hands. We've come a long way. Education is valued so that we may maintain our independence. Careers are valued because of the desire to possibly make a difference in the world. Along the way, we've learned how to be pretty self-sufficient.

We own our own houses.

We manage to buy houses (and cars, and major appliances, and...) on our own.

We take care of those 'major' purchases on our own.

We are active.

We are intelligent.

We are educated.

We lead our own lives.

And, much, much more.

However, with that being said, we DESPERATELY desire for you to come approach us. We love for you to say hi, or nod hello, or just simply acknowledge we're alive with a knowing glance. Many of us are not going to just turn our backs and ignore you (I say many because there are some who think that this is okay. Women, this is for you: It is NOT okay to treat someone this way.)

We want to be pursued. We want to be chased and romanced. We ABSOLUTELY want you to treat us like a lady and use your best manners when taking us out.

Heck, we want you to ask us out already!

Let me end this rambling by saying this: If there's a gal you're thinking about who has generated SOME spark of interest in you, ask her on a date. Take her out. Let her feel special because, I guarantee you, she will do the same for you in return if things work out (and I'm not getting vulgar here). Even if things don't go beyond that date, you've at least made someone's day by making them feel special and you've created good karma for yourself.

It's time to start taking a hold of the reigns again. Come on...you know you want to!

Oh, sorry, one more thing: If she decides to make that first move, don't freak and worry that your masculinity is at risk. Also, just because she approaches you doesn't mean you're off the hook as far as 'being a man' is concerned. If you've forgotten already, reread the above. :)
