July 7 2008: Older, And More Mature
Filed under Family & Relationships/Men
So my mother said to me yesterday: “Karen asked if you had a boyfriend”.
Karen is the mother of my brother’s best friend – we’re quite close with their family because of their friendship, and keep in close enough contact that we know what each member of the respective families are doing. Karen and her husband John are rather fond of me and take quite a bit of interest in what I do as they perceive me as the ideal obedient and family-oriented daughter.
My mother tells me of the excuse she made for me – that the boys I meet are too immature and that I need someone at least six or seven years older. Apparently, Karen has also always envisioned me with someone older and more mature.
The irony of course, is that they have no idea what’s going on in my love life yet they’ve somehow hit the nail on the head.

Maybe because they know you better than you think :)

Hmm… I have to agree with Chans… have we forgotten about the mysterious disappearance of the personal massager? :P lmao

I think no one knows us better than our families do – even if you’re not really close – except for ourselves. ;)

Maybe she actually does know the truth (secret diaries, anyone? Lol) and her saying it was an ‘excuse’, is just an excuse for you to tell her the truth. In a very round-about way. Ooo scheming! Hahaha.
Isn’t that what we women always find though, guys the same age as ourselves are often just not as mature.

Popping someone out of our uteruses must have some benefits, especially in respect to the…poppee.

With age comes experience! Older men are great.. Especially George Clooney.

haha, I guess they know you well enough to figure out the type of guy you would go for. My mom would have no clue.

So THAT’S why you won’t settle down… aren’t you glad you found an excuse? :P

My family, thankfully, doesn’t really take an interest in my love life. It’s nice.
Good luck finding that older man ;]

Do you need a more matured man to take you back to the right path, or a more *experienced* man?
