Someone recently asked me, "What is YOUR dating pet peeve?". After much consideration, I realized that I have a
few pet peeves. Jealous guys and liars are definitely at the top of the "peeving
my pet" chart. However, there is one in particular that always seems drive me to the point of no return:
The one thing that really grinds my gears is a narcissistic
man. I’m sitting across from you at the dinner and you’re telling me your
entire life story – without displaying the slightest interest in me. So there I
am ... hearing about where you were born, how many siblings you have, and your
high school experiences, while simultaneously trying to digest my food and the
information.
Selflessness and reciprocity are vital components to love
and relationships. If a man does not have the capability to EVER put the focus
on me, then that’s a red flag. When I say “focus”, I am not talking about
superficial compliments. I mean a focus on knowing me as a human being- my
passions, my values, and the things that are most important to me. I understand
that some men want to lay their “everything” on the table to seem honest and
trustworthy. Nevertheless, I’m a firm believer that a person cannot be faithful
to a stranger. Hence, if a man does not truly know me, how could
he be loyal and committed to me? He won't even know what he's committing to. Just a thought :)
