I had a little thought today.....
Dating, (at least for me) is like listening to the radio. 
I LOVE music; Country, classical, rap, hip/hop, rock, oldies, you name it all and I love it.  (Just don't name Nine Inch Nails and we're good).
There are some songs that really move me.  Make me feel as though I can stretch to greater lengths; Want to be a better person.  On the opposite side of the spectrum, there are songs that make me ill. I can't stand them.  Never want to hear the music & lyrics again!
SAME GOES FOR MEN.
There are some awesome guys out there.  I would place a small fraction of them into one category I'll call, "Chicago".  Like the band Chicago...These are the classics.  "Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other.""Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other."
You know the type of men I'm talking about.  The men your Grandmother would be tickled pink to see you settle down with.  As for me, I love my Grandmothers, but to these men, I usually find myself telling them, "everybody needs a little time away".

Let's move onto another category: The oldies.  You know; Ritchie Valens, Bill Haley, Buddy Knox and my personal favorite, Dion & Belmonts who sang, "Dont' know why I love you like I do, don't know why I do. Don't know why I love you, don't know why I care I just want your love to share I wonder why, I love you like I do."  Well let me tell you why I haven't purchased this album, It's because I'm tired of asking myself, "I wonder why I love you."  That's why you're called an oldie, because it gets old wondering!

While some women prefer this category for the flashy life....The fast cars, the bling, the cribs, whatever it may be.  I just don't know how I could love the hip hop man.  I love your music, but just as Akon sang, "smack that"..  Honey, I wanna "smack Your  face" for the way you treat women like sex objects.  (Not you personally Akon, just the message it's sending).

So many songs could sum up my love/dating life.  Peter Frampton sings, "Baby I Love Your Way".  How I wish I could find a guy who would just agree with  my way.  Pete Townshend sings, "Let My love Open the Door".  Do guys still open doors for women?  Hmm....sure would be nice.  While my roller coaster ride of relationships have taken me to "Crazy love".  As far as Nazareth and I are concerned, "Love Hurts".  Foreigner and I are left behind in the shadows singing, "I Want to Know What Love is".  Without fail, the roller coaster finishes it's run and comes to a stop.  Without fail, something always makes me wanna get back on and ride again, must me the, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love".

You know when you're listening to the radio and a certain song comes on and you listen. It's not really your favorite song, but it will do. Eventually you grow tired of the song and hit, "search". You scam over some other songs that aren't your style or are simply of no interest. Then you stumble upon a song that you like even more, however it's almost over. Just like dating people. If you had never settled for the song that you rally didn't like but thought it would be, "okay". You missed out on the song you really wanted to hear. From now on, no more stopping and listening to the songs I don't really wanna hear. I'm gonna keep hitting the "seek" button until I find what I really want...Then my friends, I'm gonna ROCK OUT and SING!

Until then, I'm telling myself; "Don't Stop Believin".  Trust that "Love Will Find A Way". Know that "Love Is Alive" and I have "The Best Of My Love" to give.  When I find my song, I will be his, "Brown Eyed Girl" and it will be "More Than A Feeling".  It will be, "My Love Song".
