On your journey to finding true love,
be careful not to make a wrong turn. Could
Mr. Right be under your nose, men?
Don't Be Stubborn When it Comes to Love
Love is patient, love is kind… and it
is also stubborn. Love will not surrender to you. It is your duty to surrender
to it. It won’t come how or when you expect it to. Nor will it arrive in the
package that you have predesigned in your mind. We do ourselves a disservice by
attempting to make love fit our own agenda. Be flexible. It isn't about
lowering your standards. It’s about increasing your awareness. Here are eight
types of men in your life that you may have already overlooked.
Mr. Nice Guy
Confession: I had to get over my own “nice guys finish last” complex
here. When a guy has genuine interest, he can’t help but to show it. Enjoy the
gestures and relish in the thought put behind them, because you are worth it.
Don’t dismiss him by labeling him “too
nice.”
Mr. Friend Zone
He’s smart, funny and you guys have
great conversation. That sounds like chemistry to me. Close friends know you in
a way that your partners hope to. Not only do they know you, but they accept
you too. Don’t totally close the door to love just because the relationship’s
origin doesn’t have a romantic link.
Mr. No Degree
So many of us fall into the trap of
measuring a person’s quality by whether or not they possess a college degree.
Don’t let this be you. A degree, or lack thereof, doesn’t define who a man
really is. His passion, ambition, and proven track record will all serve as a
memento of his character if you allow it to.
Mr. Broke Down Ride
We’re living in 2013, where people
are driving the latest cars and you meet a man still driving one from 1998, how do you deal with him? Let me guess:
You don’t want him picking you up? Don’t let his “vintage” ride make you run
away. At times in life, men can get so caught up in material things that they
forget about what’s most important: Substance! What if he’s just a real penny pincher or skipped a big auto buy in
favor of helping out a sick parent or putting himself through business school?
Mr. Mature
Enlarge your dating pool by expanding
your acceptable age window. By focusing less on age and more on maturity you
increase your chances of getting the results you desire.
The Sensitive Type
Some brothers are more in touch with
their feelings than others. It’s highly possible that his feelings for you may
develop faster than what you are ready for. Instead of brushing him off, pace
him while being encouraged by him actually being aware enough to be able to
express his feelings clearly. (That can be rare when it come to certain men.)

The Swagg~less Brother
For some, swagger is wearing their
pants so low you can see their underwear. For others swagger may be a great job
with benefits. If you permit the culture to define swagger for you, you will be
stuck with what accompanies that definition. Let swagger be a symbol of the
characteristics that you desire, housed in the man of your choosing. It’s OK to
be cool. It’s cooler to be an individual.
Mr. Blue Collar Brother
Sure, there is nothing quite like a
tailored suit, and that corner office can be attractive. But please be careful
not to become so enamored with status that you overlook the essential qualities
that will ultimately help cultivate and maintain a healthy relationship.
Remember, his current position isn't necessarily a prophecy concerning his
future potential.
So true. While it is good to have standards, if your lies are too rigid you could be losing out on a fantastic person , and have qualities you never would know you appreciated.
