Bad Egg?

I do not make for a good girlfriend. Wanna know why? I'm telling you anyway..

I don't take too well to being screwed around. No, I don't mean cheated on, either... though, I'd not be overly receptive to that sort of thing either.

Gosh no. See, I am an exceedingly impatient person when A) I'm not being afforded any sort of patience myself, B) I'm not being afforded any sort of respect, C) I'm not given any sort of reasons, logic or any kind of explanations as to what the situation might be for which I'm needing to BE patient, D) I seem to be required to be patient about the same things over and over (Haven't I been there already? Can't I be patient for something new now?) or E) You (you being "you" who asked for said patience.. whoever "you" might be.. is being a prick to me. When NONE of those things occurs, in spite of my impatient nature, I can grant someone somewhat limitless patience. Someone being a significant other.

It goes like this. If I love you and A through E is not occurring... and if I know or feel like you also love me.. or hell.. even just respect me in any way, shape or form... there's very LITTLE I won't do for you. Be it being patient with you or making you foodstuffs.

But when one sees fit to jerk my chain... especially repeatedly.. as I can forgive the first chain jerkage (depending)... well... at that point, one can just piss off and die. I don't care if I love you. You can still piss off and die.

Unlike a lot of my peers, I don't wish to marry and push out a bunch of puppies. I don't need flowery-talk and gifts. I don't need sonnets and unending romantic gestures. Especially that last bit. I'm romance-impaired. I certainly wouldn't kick a romance-horse in the mouth, but I am generally unable to dicipher much of the things men do, thinking they're being romantic. When I realize.. or as what usually happens.. am told that I just witnessed romance for my benefit, I am delighted... just... well - kinda bewildered, too.

I am too far advanced in years to be dicking around being patient for someone who seems to ALWAYS need to test my patience. I don't want to think that this is an "ALL OF YOU MEN" deal, but as I've yet to meet a guy - or date a guy, for that matter - who didn't test me over and over...

To the guy who will treat me well along with abstaining from dicking me around... well to that guy... I AM a fan-fucking-taskick girlfriend. But to the others who engage in A, B, C, D or E... I'm completely and utterly useless.

Hmmm.. I forget. Was I making a case for why I'm a bad girlfriend or a good one? Can't tell now.
