An Open Letter
I've been thinking
a lot about dating and how the rules have changed since the last time I'd been in the game.I'm okay with change but there is still that part of me that hopes for something...more.
If I could write an open letter to the men of the world and make a request, this is what I'd say...
I want to be romanced.
I want my toes to tingle.
I want knowing smiles, whispered "I love yous" and the feeling of his beating heart against my cheek.
I want a man who will carress my face with the back of his fingers...letting them linger near my lips before tilting my face upwards and brushing his lips against mine.
I want someone who calls...just because. I want someone who rushes home because they can't wait to see me.
...I want to be someone's last call of the day.

That is a great open letter filled with a lot of great ideas. I want to romance and to be romanced back. I want to tinkle toes and buckle knees. I want a head on my shoulder or my chest. I want someone I want, not someone who'll have me.
You seem pefect if only I weren't so geographically undersirable.
p.s. If you fidn a girl istead of a guy could you send her my way?
Lindsey, you are very romantic. I think that any relationship should have all of this (at least in the first week - just kidding).
So have you asked any guys out? You need to move to Decatur. I used to see many good looking students at Emory - although some of those guys are decidedly gay.
My open letter to woman would be.
I want a nice cold beer when I get home. I want a nice hot dinner about a half hour later.
After that a nice walk outside.Then you slip into something sexy and I have you for desert.
On the weekends when I'm working on the house or cutting the lawn in 90 degree weather. You dont have to tell me you love....if you bring me a glass of ice water I know you love me.
And if I change the oil in your car or fix your breaks. I just hope you know that means I love you.
linny - you should print this out - and use it as your goals for a guy. i will keep my fingers crossed for you!
I agreee with all of the above.
Nice comment Anonymous LOL. I find that men are so vague, they do something (like change the oil)and just assume you know how they feel rather than using words.
I would leave my two cents but I think Phil is going to say it a lot better than I ever could. Besides, I'd rather him take the heat. :-D
Morning Lindsey.
I think that anonymous comment is awesome.
I want someone who knows how to do manly things...like chop wood, and build a fire. I want someone who knows how to bbq, and changes my oil.
I dont ask for much.
PP. I'm with you. I think a man who can do those manly type things is so sexy.
Professor: Geography is a terrible problem. How can I hook up with someone in my own state? :o)
Yrautca: Decatur area is a bit pricey these days but it's definetly one of 'the' areas for people our age to be. And no, I've never asked a guy out.
Treé: Do I even want to know what you were going to say?
Ms.Ash: I agree with you. Sometimes it's hard to realize that a man shows his emotions rather than tells them. Wonder if we can convince them to do both.
Jill: Thanks...I'm working on it.
CC: if I find one I'll let you know.
Anonymous: I loved your comment. And trust me, if you were mowing the lawn or working on my car in the heat...I'd bring you all the water you wanted. :o)
Bliss, is what that is. I want that too.
:-)
Lovely marshmellow post.
Visiting your blog continuously is proving to be harder work than I thought...4 down, 26 to go. Sigh... :o)
Awesome letter. I, too, think these are very important requirements.
And as others have already mentioned, the anonymous letter is great, too. I also miss having a man do the manly things around the house for me and once I have that again, it will not be taken for granted.
get in line, my friend! That kind of romantic man is hard to find! But they do exist. I hear about them and read about them, and gosh darnit, I will hold out for them! ;)
Once, my ex boyfriend brought me home a piece of chocolate cake from the restaurant he worked at without even calling to ask if I wanted one. I almost had a mild heart attack with shock. :)
BUT - as long as I know my guy loves me, I can handle lack of romance. I get by on the occasional cute thing. That's when I have a man of course, which doesn't seem to actually happen anymore. lol.
that was funny, what anonymous wrote.
*sigh*
i dunno what to say..
so here's a big hug
({) :D
That was a lovely list, and I wish you the best, but I don't know any man on planet Earth that could sustain that kind of behavior! I guess that's why women like romance novels and guys like porno!
amen
AMEN.
Although romance is different for everyone. The Toad brought me a rose every week for the first year we dated and opened the car door. Didn't even begin to make up for him being an asshole
Tev has never bought me flowers, never gets the car door for me...but he always remembers to introduce me (even if he can't remember the other person's name). And that means more to me than spending $100 on roses.
Sometimes romance is not about what the other person does for you, but what you are to them.
Your wish will come true. The less you look for it...the more it'll come for you. (My opinion) I think your letter had some valid wishes in there.
You're worth it.
You'll get it.
Just believe it!
Presumably, you want all the toe-tingling, head-tilting, face-caressing, lip-brushing and spontaneous calling after the first few dates, and it is really quite clear on both sides that things are going somewhere? Otherwise, I imagine, a person might rightly think that one was being too pushy or just plain creepy.
Wow! So you're writing erotica now are you? Lindsey, those things are out there. You just have to find the right guy.
Your post is so right on... and those things are true. My sweetie is away - and all you just wrote about make me miss him all the more. I hope you get to meet your other half sooner rather than later in life.
being the last call of someone's day --- pretty much sums it all up
had that; want it back now please
(sigh)
Had it. Lost it. Afraid it will never ever ever come back.
I like visiting here becsue you say all the things I am too tired to say right now...
Thank you :-)
you've been my last thought of the day on a few occasions
Thanks Pete...
:o)
I am commenting on your letter, line-by-line...
Yes. Yes. For sure. Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. And, yes.
Okay, that one can go to print.
