Quotable Quotes

"Throughout your life you will meet one person who is unlike any other. You could talk to this person for hours and never get bored. You could tell them things and they wouldn't judge you. This amazing person is you soul mate and your best friend. Don't ever let them go." ~Author Unknown

"I pity the man who spends his entire life searching for the perfect woman. And I pity him more should he ever find her." ~Benjamin Franklin

HE SAID:

The last thing I want to do is be chauvinistic. But I'd bet my last dollar the unknown author above was a woman. Why do I say that? I have a couple of reasons. But I believe this is the person Mr. Franklin was warning us men about.

So did anyone else notice how clingy said author is? "...talk for hours..." and "...don't ever let them go." Don't get me wrong, I love talking with Maria. She is an extremely intelligent woman with a very strong personal opinion. Our conversations are interesting. But, she also knows there is that time when I need to retreat to the "cave" to chill for a while. Talk time is over at that point whether it's been 15 min or 1 hour. And yes, I know when she's done also.
And then you are never to let them go? What if they have somewhere to be? Are you going to hold them against their will? Sounds a little mental to me. We could go so far as to say this person has stalker tendencies.

That was just the "what if" part, here is the meat and potatoes of it so try to keep up. This woman apparently will not settle for anything that doesn't fit the bill of being her "soul mate". And good for her. But say after a couple years of everything being perfect she decides one day that you don't listen good enough, or long enough, or better yet you seem to be getting judgemental. Well now, I guess you weren't the "one" and it's time to move on.

Sounds kind of judgemental to me. Just saying.

SHE SAID:

Wow. I never knew you could read so much into such a beautiful quote. Kind of makes the whole thing seem dirty now. Like it has ulterior motives.

This quote actually reminded me of when Tony and I first met. We would talk on the phone for hours and hours ... until we'd fall asleep... or until Tony would lose his voice for a couple of days. (True story-- you should have seen him trying to coach his boys' baseball team with no voice). We never stopped staring at each other. And the kissing and the smiling was constant. Like a couple of teenagers. Tony would spout off some "did you know ... " information on me and I'd melt like only geeks do and cling to his every word. We would tell each other our hopes and dreams and they all seemed so possible and attainable... even if the dream was to become a Vegas showgirl (Don't laugh -Tony has really nice legs).

All jokes aside, the very things Tony chided the anonymous author on are the very things he loves about me. I can prove it. Being clingy? I'm clingy when it comes to social settings where there are a lot of people. I don't get comfortable very easily, so I'm usually on Tony's arm. He loves being my "protector". And never wanting to let them go? Ask him about the time I cried (real tears) for 2 days because I wanted to go with him on a trip and he said no. He told me that I was "cute" but I still couldn't go.

Over-analyzing the quote is just his way of showing love. Just sayin.
