more thoughts i had regarding the picking of potential boyfriends and so on:
unless you're going for short meaningless fling, DON'T date a boy who is not as smart as you. it will make you happy for a short time until you find yourself constantly correcting him and winning every argument just because he can't be bothered to pick up a newspaper and update himself on current events, and just goes by what he hears.
on the same note, don't date a boy who doesn't read. if the last thing he read was either a children's book or Playboy, make your excuses and flee the scene.
A recent piece of clever advice i received was that you shouldn't go out with someone who's music you cannot tolerate and vice versa. in retrospect, that would have made a great deal of difference to me.
a pet peeve of mine are boys who cannot be removed from their gaming devices. i have slowly fostered a hatred for the majority of video games (except the Wii :) ) and cannot abide people who are addicted to gaming.
if you are usually up on current events, make sure that you find someone who you discuss these with. Otherwise you will be rambling on about the state of affairs in the UK and, not knowing any better, he will blithely agree with you. (being agreed with all the time is not all its cracked up to be).
more thoughts as they come to me
being agreed with all the time is very nice until you realize it's because he's either not listening or not caring. either way he deserves a little smack upside the head.
