How To Lose A Guy .... Part 1

It's not you, it's me...

That's usually the excuse I use when I'm breaking it off with a guy.


(Ex-boyfriends might be calling me when they read this, LOL)


To start the New Year right, I'll be carefully documenting my journey with a new guy.


Yes, I do have an accountability partner and I've laid out the rules to the male involved.


Now, he knows the rules, but what he doesn't know is that he's part of my blog.


You're thinking a good man would find this out. He would know I was talking about something personal, but I'm not crazy.


This isn't actually live crazies.


You'll be partially n the journey, maybe a few months behind schedule of everything that's going on.


Don't ask me his name, because that'd be unfair of me to tell it.


But I'm sure when the time is right, he's going to eventually know. I hope to let him know before hand that this it happening. If not... boy did I really mess up.


So why did I name the post, How to Lose A Guy?


I was first thinking about the movie and how she did the same thing of documenting her journey until the end. Of course in the movie version it all works out for her.


I'm not so optimistic. If you're a fan or a follower of this blog, you'll know my middle name is Murphy's Law.


I really don't expect a good outcome, but I'm hopeful.

I'm always hopeful.


Enjoy the journey.


So what we know of him...


The Pluses 


He's got a steady long term job.

His own car.
Nice Guy - meaning he's thoughtful, kind and tries to do right.

Nice looking
He's a listener and remembers a lot
Talks a lot (although he needs to increase his vocabulary)
Loves Music
Looking for something different in a relationship
Willing to compromise
Doesn't get upset or flustered when he's embarrassed or wrong
Able to express his feelings and emotions immediately
Laughs a lot
Likes immediate input if he does something wrong.





The Minuses


No benefits currently, but the current contract at his job might change that.
Likes to visit the casino occasionally
Bad Credit
Gambles
CCW
Shares an apartment with his sister (overprotective sister)
A year younger than I
Needs to workout (not heavy, but he could use some toning and eat better)
Nails are only a little bit too long.
Doesn't like to read a lot

Wants time, but willing to accept busy schedules
No real hobby. He goes to work and comes home. Visits family and nothing really more.

Now the rules are:

No benefits until after sixty days, but kissing and hugging will be allowed.
Sylvia will try (even though he didn't stress it) to make time at least once a week.


I will post at least twice to three times a week. This will include any phone calls we make, text messages and of course, dates we go on.

This should be interesting....On to our first series of phone calls and how we met....
