my_strappyshoesThere's that saying? The one that makes it sound like all females are 'Daddy's Girls' and we all look for our father in the men we date? I never liked it. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and I am pretty much my father's daughter. I get along with him better than my mom, and we understand each other. The whole time when I was in Prague working for Gordon Dean I wanted to tell him what I was doing. I wanted to share that part of my life with him so that he could be proud of me. I mean sure knowing what I know now? A phone call home to share the trials and tribulations of a computer hacker for the front to a terrorist cell? Probably wouldn't have been a very shining moment in my life. I did want to tell him though.
So I will admit that when it comes to my family I love my father, but I really don't think I'm looking for someone like him either. I mean I really hope I'm not that stereotypical. I don't think I have a type either. I can look at all the guys I've dated in the past and really hardly any of them have anything in common except they all dated me. On that missing person television show, or well really any crime show they always have the five completely different people on the board? Nothing tying them together at all? Yeah I'd probably be the reason they got killed.
That looks odd typed out. I'd change it but it still applies.
My dad is a great guy though don't get me wrong. He's been with my mom since college, takes care of her when she's had those really long days. Lets her do her own thing, and trust me he knows not to get in her way when she's got something on her mind. He's a great cook, and actually makes my family eat things they probably wouldn't have picked on their own. When I was little we never really did the normal vacation thing. We did Disney and camping, but there were just smaller trips set in there that took us to places Mom wanted to go, or that Nic might be interested in. See my dad's a great guy, an amazing dad too.
Let's be honest though, how many guys are out there that love to cook, know the more personal places to travel, want to take care of the person their with regardless of the smaller things about them that they don't understand, and are okay with being with that one person for the rest of their life?
Yeah if I had a type and it was like my father? I'd be lucky if I found one guy like that. So I'll just stick with my no-type-dating and just have fun and be happy when I am with someone, and on the look out when I don't.
