Blue Light Special

No woman needs a man who is full of excuses. 

With a flurry of ifs, ands and maybes, men keep us perched on the edge of our seats awaiting their next moves. Will he show up or won't he? Will he call or won't he? And the man who keeps us waiting with anticipation is usually full of excuses too.

It's funny how we tend to put up with less from our female friends than we do from the men in our lives. We lower the bar even more for the men we haven't quite pulled in yet. It's like we give them the blue light special on standards because we think if we make it easy on them, they'll want us more. 

So, in an ideal situation... A place where women are coherent, clear-thinking individuals who are not blinded by the possibilities or pretty white teeth or the fine ass in those jeans... How many excuses are too many? What's the cut off number? If he says "no" 3 times, do you walk away? If he doesn't show up once, do you call it quits? When do you say when?

I think it's time to make some rules and stick to them no matter how hot or rich or "perfect" he is. No woman needs a man who is full of excuses.
