The Marrying Kind

Wedding season is in full swing and your date to the wedding is none other than your perfect, gorgeous...best friend. You've been single so long you are wondering if you'll ever find Mr. Right and 30 is getting closer and closer by the day. Wedding season should be happy and blissful but all you get is a cheap party favor and a reminder that your Prince Charming is somewhere in the witness protection program or just plain hiding from you, just your luck.



First of all, be patient. All good things come in doses and definitely take time. That old saying holds true, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet the guy you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. Here's a little list of the differences between the boys you date while you are on the hunt for your soul mate, the man you end up marrying.



1. Passion

-With the BOY you date you have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of passion in the sheets but during the day you can't find any common ground or passion for the same things, books or movies, places or things.



-With the MAN you marry you have a relatively equal amount of passion both between the sheets as well as sharing similar passions including hobbies and things you want out of life.



2. Commitment

-With the BOY you date you have to deal with him flaking out on a lot of things he says he will do. Especially meeting your parents and showing up for dates that he probably calls hang-outs. He also probably isn’t quick to tell people that you two are actually in a relationship.



-With the MAN you marry you don’t have to worry about him doing what he says he will do. He picks you up at your place and even opens the car door. He is happy to meet your parents because he can’t wait to find out more about the people who raised the woman he is in love with.



3. The Five Senses

-With the BOY you date…

Hearing: He hears what he wants and gets mad if it isn’t in agreement to what he wants. Sight: He doesn’t want to be seen with you without makeup, he likes arm candy to show off to his friends. Touch: He only touches you for his pleasure. Smell: God forbid you fart in front of him. He will either be way too grossed out because you have a functioning ass sphincter or he will make fun of you for the remainder of your relationship. Taste: It’s his way or the highway when it comes to the places you go to dinner or order in from. He hates Italian and even though it’s your favorite, if you’re with him you aren’t going to be eating it.



-With the man you marry…

Hearing: He hears what you say and takes it all in. If he doesn’t agree he finds common ground and there isn’t a huge argument about it. Sight: He loves the all-natural you. Seeing you without makeup doesn’t make him love/like you any less, in fact, he kind of digs it. Touch: He knows what you like and he does it for you, the same way you do for him. Smell: Farting isn’t a big deal anymore. Your man knows it happens. You’re a living person not a mannequin. Taste: He knows what you like to eat and occasionally surprises you by taking you to your favorite restaurant, even though it definitely isn’t his first choice.



4. Money Situations

-With the BOY you date you end up not only paying half the bill you generally pay all of it. When you reach for the check he doesn’t bother to stop you, he actually expects it. This is the boy that cannot, for the life of him, keep a steady job and lives off of his parents or other family members (or even worse, you) and relies on them for everything.



-With the MAN you marry you reach for the check and no matter how many times you tell him you are paying because he has paid way too many times in a row, he won’t allow it. He keeps a steady job, shows up on time and even gets pay raises because he’s just that good. He doesn’t rely on other people to pay his bills and even offers to help you if you are running short on one of your own.
 

5. Security

-With the BOY you date you never feel totally secure. He quite obviously checks other woman out and breaks up with you for silly things and wants to get back together an hour later.



-With the MAN you marry you feel an overwhelming sense of security. He clearly sees other woman but he doesn’t think of them as a piece of meat because he has you. When you argue he talks things through with you instead of running for the hills.



Here’s to hoping you find the prince you’re looking for. <3
