Love -- Part II
(continued)
So, if you think you want to settle down (someday) and have kids (someday) then THIS is the day to start looking with a vengeance. Because, face it, you can pretty much guarantee that the next 2 to 20 men you date won�t be the one.
Just because you�ve decided you�re ready doesn�t mean that the universe is ready to hand HIM to you on a silver platter. You gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince (and take good notes)! With an average of 2 months per frog, you could be anywhere from 4 months to 3 years from meeting HIM (another good reason to fine tune your interviewing and weeding process). Add to that the 2-3 years of dating prior to marriage, and I think you�ll agree that you better get on it.
You don�t want to wait until you want to make babies to look for a man. Otherwise you will be driven by your uterus instead of your brain and heart -- rather like men being driven by their penises, don�t you think? You�ll end up making babies with the first schmuck you happen to be interested in or dating at the time.
Of course you won�t think he�s a schmuck at the time, until you find out later, and by then it�s to late, you�ve already made babies with him and are now tied to him for the rest of your life, whether or not you married him. I wonder about women who want to make babies with men, but don�t want to marry them. Either way, he�s your forever. But, that�s a whole other discussion.
