apparently i'm the marrying type (you just pick the right one to be in the fox hole with)
not the dating type.
Let me explain. My friend carolyn (who is also my roommate) brought it up, b/c she had been discussing it with some of her other friends. They decided that some girls are the dating type, and some are the marrying type. I think i'm starting to believe it, but then another part of me disagrees.
I went to go see the notebook (again) and In Good Company today with lauren...and they both kinda made me think about the marrying aspect. I mean, take the notebook for example, even if its the movies, that is the kind of love that I want. Its the kind of love that lasts forever, and i do mean forever. There love crossed all boundaries of class, and parents and everything else. It allowed them to not have to live without eachother. and that is something powerful in itself. It caused them to never give up hope that things would work out. I want someone to grow old with.
Then in good company. Its basically all about what is important in our lives. What exactly we really live for, and discovering what that is. Eventually i want a family, and as much as i put on the brave face that i will adopt if i never find the one, the right man, i want that - i want the husband that loves me for who i am, and picks me to "be in the foxhole with" and keeps his dick in his pants the rest of the time (if you see in good company that part will make sense). Is it really too much to ask?
However, as much as that "supports" the marrying type part of the theory, we were taking the bus back, and there was this couple (obviously just dating, they weren't married), and the guy just put his head on her shoulder, and "slept" on her shoulder the whole ride. That is ALSO what i want, and more of a short term thing i guess. It was cute, and i hate to say it (and you can "kick" me for this), reminded me of something chris would do. but anyway, as much as i want to get married, i do want to date beforehand, i mean, i think i would be capable of "jumping right into it", if the right guy came along. and by jumping in i mean, that if it came up (preferable after a few years), i would marry my 1st serious boyfriend. but at the same time, i almost don't want my 1st (technical/official) boyfriend to neccessarily be the one i marry.
all i want is to find that love that will last a lifetime.
