The Perfect Shoe

If you couldn't already tell I am a shoe lover! My favorite designer is the great Christian Louboutin. His shoes are, to me, the most magnificent works of art. He puts great time and effort to giving a shoe the right personality.

He pays attention to every single detail: the stitch, nail, glue, color and design. And when the shoe is completed buyers know that it is of excellent quality.

I feel that way about guys too. I pay attention to the personality and every other detail of the shoe, I mean GUY. The whole package has to be of excellent quality before I make a decision.

After all, if I'm spending my money, I mean spending my time, with the shoe, I mean GUY, he be better well worth it.

Bring in the New Age a Single Gal

Exactly one week from today, I'll be turning 21-years-old and I'm very excited. However, all summer I've been dreading bringing in the new age as a single gal; it's a very important age.

Now as I look at my situation and the lack of control I have over it, I've accepted the result. It's okay to be single (for now) because I'll be able to have twice as much than if I were in a relationship.

Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong (most likely) is out there waiting for me and when he comes around I'll have had my fun so I can dedicate my time the work a new relationship needs.

40 Can Be Fun

So I was hit on not once today but twice, but by older men. One man was in his late 20s/early 30s and the other was 40; he told me so.

Ironically the 40-year-old man was much more attractive and suave than the younger and if he wasn't so much older or I wasn't so much younger I would have given him a shot.

I think if I were around 25 or so I'd go out with him. I shared this with my mother and sister and neither of them approved. As a liberal thinker I always believe that you should be with whoever makes you happy, no matter age, race, gender etc.

While age differences can strain relationships I don't think there's any harm in giving it a shot. Besides the difference between this older man and the others I've referenced is that there was potential for a mutual attraction.
