Games, Drama, and Attitude... are for Children.

If there is one thing I am thankful for about getting older... it would have to be wisdom and self-control. No more games, drama, or attitude I am too old for that crap. I have been through every type of relationship under the sun... the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY. The good... my last relationship, we treated each other as equal, respected one another, and overall had a good relationship (minus the bad ending). The bad... my cowboy phase, who toke me for everything I had which included money, time, and my heart. And then the ugly, the one who not only cheated on me but who cheated on me with a friend, in fact his best friend's wife (very ugly). But in each relationship I learned how to control my feelings and properly deal with issues and problems that came up.

Now I am no saint. I use to play the games... create the drama... and I could give more attitude than a 16 year old girl. Screaming, crying, hitting, throwing fits... when things didn't go my way (or the way I thought things should be, but really shouldn't). At any rate I am proud to say I have grown up. It has been a very long time since I behaved that badly... in fact I can't remember if I ever reacted that way in my last relationship (which is why it was a good relationship)... and if I did it might have been for split second when I came back into reality fast. And as each day passes and the older I get the more I realize how stupid and petty that behavior truly is.

This brings me to last night. A man/boy who by the way is older than me... pulled the drama and attitude card. I could not believe it. Someone I do not even know... I have not even gone on a date with this man... but yet something I did or said caused him to behave like a child. (Whoa back off buddy) I am adult I will speak to you like an adult and if you choose to behave like a child then I will refuse to associate with you... it is as simple as that.

Which leads me to this… save your time and energy fellows... I am not taking the bait. I am single... I am happy to be single... I do not want a boyfriend... I will not hold your hand, play kissy, face, or show any sign of affection for you. I only do that when I am in a relationship (PERIOD). So please do not take offense or throw attitude when all you have done is ask me on a date or maybe talked to me a few times when we have been out in the same group together. That does not mean I am with you. So you have no right to get upset with me for telling you to back off.

I am getting older, wiser, and picky. I will not settle... I will not jump into another relationship... I will not be a girl toy... I will take things slow...
