You've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.
This is the story of one woman who was dating 100 men in an effort to find Mr Right but then she found him
Me and Man number 11 are buying a house together. It's been 10 months now since we met and we've had long enough to get to know each other and to make the decision that we want to stay together. He was a bit slower than me at deciding and wouldn't talk about the future for quite a long time - but how could he resist in the end?! :-)
He asked me a few weeks ago. I'm very happy. I've definitely taken the female role in the relationship as he's a man's man and he can never be coerced or pushed into things. I know I have to just leave him to make his own mind up about things - especially things like this.
I'm a bit bolshy and independent and I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I like the feeling of being looked after by him. Don't get me wrong, I'm a feminist and I have a very feminist job and I pay my way and I make joint decisions that we make in the relationship but I'm really happy that he's so masculine and that he takes control of things, takes care of me and protects me when I want to be protected.
All the other men I've had relationships with have been very helpless and a bit useless in lots of ways and I've struggled with this. They were ok at first, in the 'let's pretend I'm what you want me to be' (the first three months) but they slowly revealed their true 'little boy' selves over time and by then it was too late. It was hard to extract myself.
Man number 11 has remained consistent. Even his bad points were evident very quickly and he is upfront and straightforward all the time. His good points far outweigh his bad ones.
I'm sure he feels the same way about me. :-)
Anyway, we're buying a house together and becoming a proper family.
I can't believe how far I've come since I started this blog - on a mission to find Mr Right. It's only just over a year ago (around 16 months) and it really didn't take as long as I thought.
If you want something, the best thing you can do is decide exactly what that is and then go for it. This blog proves it.
