We have this friend, let's call her Olivia. Olivia met Brad through a mutual friend. They hit it off, became facebook friends, exchanged numbers and started dating. Things were going really well for a couple of weeks and Olivia (who is not a relationship person) started to get serious about Brad. When Olivia's parents were away for a week, Brad came over most nights and they would just hang out for hours. This was when she started to think things were a bit weird - because all of those nights alone, NOTHING happened. But she overlooked this because he seemed to be such a great guy - hot, good dresser, smart... definitely boyfriend material.
One night, Brad and Olivia met up and after another make-out session that didn't seem to be going anywhere, Olivia bit the bullet and decided to go for downstairs. This is when it gets scary - do not read on if you want this story to have a happy ending. As the button was undone, zipper came down, out IT came...
And it was tiny!
When we say tiny, we mean TINY... as in microscopic! Olivia described it as child-sized.
Now we don't want to sound shallow because, really, size doesn't matter. But when you're staring at something THAT small, what can you do? And that's exactly what Olivia said to us - what was she supposed to do? In all her years of dating men, this was unchartered territory.
Unfortunately for Olivia (and Brad) the relationship ended right then and there. He may have ticked all the boxes, and she was thinking a serious relationship was around the corner, but she forgot one simple rule...
There is always SOMETHING.
As you would know, from reading this blog, we self-confess that we do not know much about men yet, and may never know all of their mysteries. But this is one definite truth - despite how perfect he might seem, and how many flaws he might be without, it's all on the surface. At some stage or another, you will realise that there is something you won't like. It won't necessarily be a deal-breaker, but it won't be good.
Some real examples include:
1. He seems very keen on you, but all of a sudden he becomes obsessive and calls you every weekend in the middle of the night when he's drunk and out with his friends.
2. He seems nice and friendly, but after a few dates conversation turns to the ant problem he is experiencing in his pantry.
3. He's really good looking, but you find out that he is way too young.
4. He is charming and you have a wonderful night together, then find out he lives in San Diego.
5. He seems like he cares for you and looks out for you, but soon he becomes overprotective and jealous.
6. He dresses like a rockstar, but as soon as he gets in the situation to take his shirt off, you realise he's as hairy as a gorilla.
7. He's got all the right moves, but when you actually kiss he's hopeless.
8. He seems like the perfect match for you, but his family hate you.
9. He seems open and comfortable with you, then you find out he's a nudist.
The moral of the story is when you meet "Mr Perfect", remember that there's no such thing - it's all a fantasy. Life is not a fairytale and you should find out sooner rather than later what their 'something' is. The 'something' might not be a huge issue but it will always be there, perfection is just a myth. Finding the right guy usually means dealing with their 'something'.
P.S. As an afterthought, if you find a guy who only has one 'something', he's usually a good guy to stick with. In our experience they often have more than one!
