Here’s one great description a woman can say when asked about the kind of man she wants. Indeed, a man should be a worth to keep because a woman is worth a lot.

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question: “What kind of man are you looking for?”

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, “Do you really want to know?”

Reluctantly, he said, “Yes.”

She began to expound:

“As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can’t do for myself?

I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man…. or woman for that matter.

I am in the position to ask, “What can you bring to the table?”

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.

She quickly corrected his thought & stated, “I am not referring to money. I need something more.”

“I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life.”

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, & asked her to explain.

She said:

“I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because I need conversation & mental stimulation.. I don’t need a simple-minded man.

I need someone who is striving for excellence spiritually because I don’t need to be unequally yoked….believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

I need a man who is striving for excellence financially because I don’t need a financial burden.

I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies and game playing are not my idea of a strong man.

I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, priest and provider to the lives entrusted to him by God.

I need someone whom I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him.

I cannot be submissive to a man who isn’t taking care of his business.

I have no problem being submissive…he just has to be worthy.

And by the way, I am not looking for him…He will find me. He will recognize himself in me. He may not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be drawn to me. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can’t help a man if he can’t help himself.”

When she finished her spiell, she looked at him.

He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.

He said, “You are asking a lot.”

She replied, “I’m worth a lot.”

I guess it’s one sad fact. Teddy Bears are huggable especially when they’re this big and soft. Though sometimes, being far from someone we loved, we misses that person a lot. There are times, that in times of longingness, we greatly want to hug our dearest. But it’s just way too impossible to do it now or even ever. This is where teddy bears are useful. They may not hug us in return but somehow they can compensate the feeling of hugging our loved ones. It quitely relieves the feeling of being alone.

What a devastating word to hear, isn’t it? Is there any difference between the two? How can someone say “I Love You” to someone without being “in love” with that someone. Here’s the catch.

Any people could say “I Love You” to anyone. It’s something that you say to show admiration or even respect. Or to even show you care for someone. Basically, it’s more on the friendship zone.

On the contrary, falling in love is a romantic feeling you feel for a particular person. It’s fairy tale and dream based. Remember how fairy tales inspire us to search for our prince that would love us and make us happy ever after? It’s associated with the spark feeling, a chemistry between two people that makes them feel the aliveness of their being. Being in love is a temporary state. It does fades, and when it fades it’s up to both of you what you look for in a relationship and if you still want to continue loving each other through thick and thin. Accept each others imperfections and strengths. And when you do, then that is what true love is.
