Compromise

The worse situation to be involved in in-any relationship is when someone won't meet you half way. Whether is be a courtship or merely a friendship, everyone is looking for reciprocity. In 2006 I have heard so many people (both male and female) say that they want someone who is up front and honest with them, but I am finding more and more... that's not what we're really looking for. What we want is someone who is going to sugar coat, bend the truth, play games, etc. Well, I've been down that road many times before and I would rather take the road less traveled- DRAMA FREE.

Why is it that I am willing to sacrifice my pride among other things to gain the interest of someone who quote ain't got time end quote and views me as a begin quote sketchy situation end quote? It has to be much more than feelings of like that have me pining over someone who won't give me any act right and is not willing to compromise at all in order to get close to me. I know later down the line he will realize what he passed up, but I am so sick of that predicament. I am so sick of having feelings for men, (men that could see- but CHOOSE not to see what I have to offer) then they end up coming back to me months or years down the line proclaiming that they made a mistake in passing me up. Fuck that shit! I like you now, you like me now... we should not let anything get in between that. Not some hating bitch who is your ex lover, and not someone who claims to like me but doesn't even step his game up or come around. What for?

All I know is that I would never compromise what we have or what we could develop into. Yea, I may converse with someone, but when did "talking" become illegal. I guess I didn't get that memo. I just see now, you can't have good intent in this cold ass world. You can't treat Black men like kings, you can't have basic friendships and be "sweet on niggas" because it counts for NOTHING! I will not and I can not turn into that woman who doesn't know how to treat a real man, because that's not me. I just hope that the next time I fall in like with a MAN, he is someone who believes me when I say I wouldn't compromise what I want between us over someone who I have luke warm feelings for...


(Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love. Right?)


and that maybe I will have someone who is willing to meet me half way, willing to compromise.
