GOOD LOVE(Nice Guy vs. Good Guy)

Given a choice I will take a good guy over a nice guy, because sometimes you just can’t be nice. Sometimes you just have to keep it real.

I want someone who’s respectful, kind, and considerate. A guy who will honor me in the same way that I will honor him. Am I looking for a superhero? A Superman, Batman, heck… an Antman? I don’t think so. Plain old positive human qualities will do just fine. I don’t need a guy to save me, I've been saving myself for a long time now. I want a simple, reliable relationship, one filled with the knowledge that I’ve got his back and he has mine. Someone who doesn’t have to think twice about where he stands with me, because I’ll show him daily how much I appreciate him being there, complementing my being, and me complementing his.

I want something ,and someone so comfortable, so inviting that it feels like your favorite overstuffed chair… warm, enveloping, and safe. No worries of boredom because this thing will be so full of life, and promise. Nah! No ennui here!

I neither want, nor need the overdone frills… no six figure man who might think I owe him because he brings coins to the table. No man who thinks that any of the myriads of fancy cars would be impressive to me. You must come with substance, and awareness, something that “stuff” just does not bring. The size of his house doesn’t matter, because in the end no matter how small, or large it is, it won’t make me care for him any more or less. He will get all of my best loving care because HE IS THE HOUSE, the protector, the lover, the friend I need to sustain this thing that we will possess.

I need a good guy that I can laugh with, cry with, be silly with, and when the crap gets rough someone who will be willing to fight beside me, with me, and for me. A guy who I will never have to ask, where are you at? Looking over my shoulder, and there he is.

I’m looking for that good guy who’s looking for me, a good woman. Does he have to wear a cape, or be a superhero? No! He’s just got to be willing to put in the effort, even when it’s hard, time consuming, and scary.

I know you’re out there, and I’m willing to wait for you, because when these two good people finally do meet there’s nothing that will stop us from having all that we aspire to have, all of that good, good! I want my “get right,” guy, and I’m not settling for anything else.

Ecclesiastes 1:18 For an abundance of wisdom brings and abundance of frustration. So that whoever increases knowledge increases pain.

Which one would you choose???
