you're home alone. Your partner calls on the way and asks if you'd like him to bring something. You say Ice cream what size does he bring?

Been Around The World and.........

Been around the world and
I, I, I,
I can't find My Baby
I don't know How
I don't know Why
Why he's gone Away
And I don't know where He can Be
My Baby
But I'm gonna find him
I'm gonna FIND HIM.....
I really have been on a mini-sojourn of travel that was productive and filled with family time and fun time and fun-family time.
During one of our millions of conversations, my father, best friend and I were discussing my high school sweetheart. And a whole 20 years later, my father (WHO NEVER HOLDS HIS TONGUE) makes the observation that he knew all along the boy was too insecure for me *Well that was a news flash* What is more insightful is how I have always ended up with the wall flower. The insecure man whom I have some how magically made secure..The list is short (no pun intended) but substantial. Something about underdogs has always attracted me even though I really have always wanted an Alpha Male (no pun intended there either). As my BFF and I processed this information it occurred to me that underdogs put up with a lot of mess. They try harder and they are willing to tolerate mess because it's what they are used to. They are in the back of the pack. So when I dish the mess, they take it. My ego interprets this behavior as affection and interest.
Alpha Males have little to no tolerance for the head games and B.S. and rarely do they entertain it. Someone as gregarious as I, might mistake that for disinterest when in fact it's just what I'm looking for.
My male friends will tell me when I ask about my perpetual single status, that I am single because I want to be. I refuse to believe this. We argue about this into the night. They point out that having a man and being in a relationship is inconvenient to my lifestyle. I don't agree!!! I am ready!!
So one night, I explained to a potential candidate all these wonderful and great things about me. My expectations and experiences. Things I like things I don't like.....you know the conversation when everything is fresh and new. Then I made the ULTIMATE STATEMENT about what I'm looking for. I told him, I am looking for A BOSS.
