Today was let’s hit on Maggie day. Two man of opposite characters and financial circumstances were vying for my attention today at the same time. Both asked if the other was hitting on me and to both I said yes. One treated me for dinner (the lawyer) and the other will see me tomorrow (the trucker). It was just interesting to watch them compete. The competition was a subtle one, but nonetheless it was there.
Most woman would go for the older more wealthy type of guy for whatever reason. However, I do not. I saw something lacking in him and I saw him as not taking responsibility for his actions/decisions. For a lawyer (tax law), you would think he would be more logical. What bothered me the most was when he stated that he wanted to utilize my mind to make money. I view that as exploitation and I told him so. I call a spade a spade. You would think that my criticism of him would have scared him off, but it didn’t. I was as blunt as a hammer. I won’t get into all the details of how bluntly honest with him that I was, but he took every kick in the pants I could dish out.
In regard to the trucker, he is a nice dude who I have met before. When he asked if I had a boyfriend, I said that I do not, but I am in love with someone who I will be meeting up with very soon. Why should I lie? The label of boyfriend and girlfriend are not there but my love of him is. Do I need the label? Nah. I was not lying when I said this either. I explained to him that what is is until it isn’t as are all things. Having a male friend or friends is not bad so long as he/they knows the boundaries and do not exceed them. I trust he will not exceed them. He did ask if I was trying to scare him off as well, but I stated that if that were my intent, I would show him my crazy and my weapons. This appealed to him. Go figure.
The lawyer said that I should not lower myself to tent vacations. Lower myself I said? When I asked him if his money gave him happiness or grief, he found himself unfulfilled and stated that he needs guidance. That is not something that can be given. Suggestions were offered in regard to looking into himself and altering that which he already recognizes and problematic. When one seeks only the material, they are hallow. When one seeks the intangible, they are fulfilled. Maybe he will find fulfillment if he seeks it out himself within himself.
Well, tomorrow I get to look into the trucker’s cab to have an idea of what the living quarters look like for a full time trucker. He said he would straighten it up so that I could have a look see. He was humble and honest and I appreciated that.
Lest I forget a funny part, the lawyer asked if the trucker was single and my response was yes. Do you want to go out with him? LOL
Oh what a day. ~ Maggie ~ July 17, 2009 @ 1:13 p.m. EST
