As the page turns...

I have definitely gotten wiser as I have gotten older. Learning from my mistakes in relationships, letting stuff go that is unimportant, and just being more patient. With that being said I have time and time again re-written my 10 commandments of dating a chick like me. So maybe if I redo my list, not of requirements, but of self realizations, I can verbalize what I want and put that good vibe in the world.

1. Thou shall not be pressed - I promise this is so far from who I am its ridiculous. I won't blow up your phone looking for you if you running the streets. I want to spend time with you and if you want me you'll make the time. It's that simple. 
2. Thou shall have goals and ambitions - This is rare these days. True ambition, not just becoming the manager at the store you work at, but striving for greatness and leaving a legacy.
3. Thou shall understand the shift in society - Times have changed. Thinking about what life was like before and comparing it to now is unrealistic. While I would like to be the housewife type, because I think it would be fabulous, I understand that me achieving my goals and being a strong presence in my community would make me feel more accomplished than anything else in the world. 
4. Thou shall let him be a man - I can fix what I need fixed, I can take out the trash, I can even ask for directions. But the masculinity built from having to do it on my own can never replace the security of having you. I want you to be my man, and I will be your woman. I will cook dinner for you as long as you take out the trash. I will let you drive as long as we can get lost in happiness. Be a man and I will let you be in control.
5. Thou shall cater to his needs - Being submissive is something I have struggled with, because of my Aries nature. We are a dominant sign, fierce and strong. I have however learned submission  mastering it is another story. Although I do know of its benefits and drawbacks. 
6. Thou shall be adventurous with sex - You all know my freak flag flies high, and not every dude is like that, but the man I end up with will know the pleasures of every single thing I am open and willing to try. 
7. Thou shall never be predictable - I want to keep you guessing, to be interested in learning more. I am more than what comes to surface. We will always have a fun time and we will always have new experiences. I can be boring sometimes, because you can't be "ON" all the time, we would be exhausted. 
8. Thou shall listen when you need an ear - I am concerned with the well being of any person that I love, care about and see on a regular basis. If you need to vent, I can listen. If you need advice, I can counsel. If you need someone to hear you with no judgement, I'm your girl. We can talk it out, work it out, or just be, but my concern is genuine. 
9. Thou shall ride for the man that locks me down - Flaky females bother me, so I would never want to be one. If you can wrangle me in and keep me, I will ride for you and be that support system you need. I want my man to know that I'm here for him, as long as he knows how to be there for me. We have to be in this thing together, because I can't do it alone and I'm sure you can't either.
10. Thou shall let you be - You had a life before me and will have a life with me. I don't want you to be anything other than who you are. Don't change for me, because I won't change for you. I didn't become attracted to you for any other reason than you being you.
