A while back during my time as a single I came across a handful of guys who were kinda lame. I know that seems mean, but allow me to explain. They were just very passive men who didn’t pursue me. Ok, so I see how that sounds…maybe they weren’t lame, maybe they just weren’t interested! Anyhow, during this time Holly made a comment to me regarding the male pursuit that stuck with me.
She said, “You want a guy who would swim through shark-infested waters to bring you a glass of lemonade because you’re thirsty.”
WOW. That seemed pretty intense, but I liked the underlying meaning. She was basically saying I wanted a guy who would be willing to face grave danger in order to make me happy and provide for my needs. So true! That was what I wanted!
So now that I have my Mr. Wonderful, I have to ask him (though I already know the answer): Are you willing to swim shark-infested waters to bring me a drink?

Wait. That doesn’t even make sense. Can I disagree? Because, I know that sounds romantic and all, and maybe I’m just waaaayyyyyy too practical for my own good, but WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT TO PUT THE PERSON YOU LOVE INTO THAT KIND OF DANGER? Or any kind of danger? I mean, seriously.
Gah, I am such a nay-sayer. Sorry. But still. I totally make a good point.

I understand just what you mean! And I think it’s pretty important for both people to be willing to make themselves uncomfortable for the benefit of the other. So while not literally shark infested waters…same idea:)
