Waiting to be noticed.

I stumbled upon this randomly;

We grew up believing we were princesses. Little girls with loving daddies and protective brothers were taught that they were something special and rare. Our mothers told us that all we needed was our education and after obtaining each degree, we’d be able to pick from larger and more successful pools of men. We’ve grown up only to discover that this isn’t so.

In reality, guys have the upper hand. The ability to choose any woman they want. It doesn’t take much at all. Population-wise, females outnumber males. For every guy there are at least 10 girls who want him. Some of you didn’t know, half of you are well aware of that and the rest of you have a stampede of women chasing you day after day.

I never wanted to be a normal girl. Normal girls thirst for love and attention. Normal girls daydream ten years into the future upon meeting someone new. Normal girls fill out girlfriend applications for people who live miles and miles away because they believe that “magic” knows no boundaries.

You can’t be his girlfriend UNTIL HE ASKS you to be. You cant be his wife UNTIL HE ASKS you to marry him.

So, the question is: Are we all just waiting to be loved? Waiting to be the girlfriend…. waiting to someday be the wife? Waiting to be noticed?

We all have to wait however, it’s about what you do while you wait. Are you doing things to make yourself happy? Then the wait is worth it because you’re learning about yourself and self-appreciation is crucial if you want to be happy with a man (or whomever). Everyone is in line, take a number and do something productive while you’re waiting. And technically, you’re not waiting if you’re living life in this “invisible line”.

Point is, don’t revolve your life around this wait and just, be.

Heh. Why can’t you date him unless he asks? Why can’t you marry him unless he asks? Who made it a profound law that women aren’t supposed to ask a guy out, or get on their knees to ask him to be her husband? I mean, I wouldn’t get on my knees. On the contrary, I don’t mind being the person who asks someone out. Waiting around is time that is wasted. Don’t you think? Patience was never really one of my virtues. Want something? Go after it. He won’t notice you? Move on and find someone who would.
