Gentlemen

I am writing this blog on behalf of my girlfriends in search of decent, respectable, intelligent gentlemen worth investing their time and their hearts in.

I know they are out there somewhere. Gentle men that is. I know there are good decent men out there. Maybe, there are more than we know - Lordy, I hope so.

For the women, hold strong to your values. You deserve to be respected, listened to, honored. Men you deserve the same from your women. There are men who care enough to work at relationships. Just as there are men who don't give a crap about relationships. There are all kinds. And all of us/them are works in progress.

Don't be so sure of what the right guy looks like that you fail to see what may be better than you dreamed. Go slowly into relationships. Trust your gut. Don't sell yourself short. Laugh easily. Let falling in love be a slow delicious process. Forgive, as needed, but not without learning some lessons about yourself and the guy involved. Ask many questions, and listen with both your ears and your heart for the answers. Words and actions must match. Don't ever skimp on this premise.

Sacrifices need to be made in relationships. But, never ever sell your soul or lose girl friends for the sake of a relationship. Don't forget that a well said apology is worth it's weight in gold. Truthfully, you do have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet that prince. The frogs give us greater appreciation for the Princes of the world.

Sometimes Princes screw up, but then don't we all. Make amends, apologize, grow from your mistakes. Breathe, it helps. And believe - in you, in life, in wonderful things about to happen.
