To Settle or Not to Settle!?

Ok so, I know a lot of you can probably relate to this in a lot of ways. Aren't some relationships like deal or no deal!? I mean let me explain, you pick through the boxes (different people) and then you finally get an offer. Then you have to decide deal or no deal. (To settle or not to settle). Excuse my weird thinking but I think I got a point here. I mean do you stop at that $100,000 which is good. (That rated 7 in looks wit a great personality) or do you say no deal and go for the $500,000 (The total package, brains and beauty and personality) I mean its possible to get and if you deserve it, why not take your chances!? Decisions Decisions! I mean nobody is perfect but you know what you want.

Me personally, I'm a relationship type of guy even though I been single for almost 3 years now. 3 years!? Yup 3 years! And with a nickname like Ronnie Romance its seems a lil weird. But not to fear there is some explanation for it. When me and my X broke up in 07, I had to take time off to learn how to be alone, be single and love myself. That took me about a year and a half. Once I learned how to love myself and realized nobody can treat me better than I can treat myself I went into a phase of not needing a relationship. But then after going through the process I've learned that everybody needs someone and every great man has a great woman by his side. THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM IS!

Just like a lot of women say its hard to find a good man, well its just as hard for a good man to find a good woman. Anyone with standards will always have a harder time finding someone. I want to be in a relationship but have you ever been talking to someone and things are all good and next thing you know its STRIKE 1, STRIKE 2, STRIKE 3! THEY'RE OUT! Is it because I'm picky!? NOO! I don't ask for anything that I wouldn't give myself.

I don't feel like I should have to settle for less to have to settle down. If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve. I mean I'm not perfect but I do know my worth. I'm young, black, intelligent, have my degree, no kids, no baby mama drama, handsome, financially stable, loving, caring and understanding. I also love to shop! Lol. I mean it shouldn't be hard for me to find a good woman with these qualities right!? WRONG! Its hard out here for a pimp! *jk* lol. Let me just end by saying this, I know that what u want can make you cry and what you need may pass you by. But there has to be a baseline standard. Its not about settling down, its about settling for less. Once you lower your standards you will see your performance for yourself lower as well. But I'm still waiting for my GOOD DEAL! And actually I'm not waiting, I'm not scared to go after it when I see it. Life is to short not to have a Grandeur Romance.;-)

Yours Truly,

Romance
