Ladies and Gentlemen Seriously...I know how to pick them!

Happy Saturday to one and all.  I trust that you all are keeping it classy and looking forward to spring.  I recently had a chance to shop at a new outlet mall here in Chicago...AMAZING.  So I am looking forward to Spring so I can wear some of new hot clothes, but also since the weather in Chicago has been CRAP since December, we are ready for some warm weather here.

Well this past week I had an experience that NO ONE should ever have.  But before I tell you about it, I thought I would reflect on the hall of shame of ex-boyfriends and relationships.  BOY, I really know how to them...here are some of the highlights....

1. Getting broke up with on Valentine's Day.
2. Getting my heart broken and being broke up with on EMAIL.
3. Finding out that the guy that I thought I was dating was engaged to someone else at a party at his house.
4. Getting an email from a guy's wife (YES...I didn't know he was married).
5. Getting an email from a guy telling me he didn't want a relationship after we went out ONCE .... not sure I remember asking for one.

But the TROPHY winner of them all...Getting a phone call from a woman who has been sleeping with your boyfriend.  The boyfriend whom you were still dating after almost 2 years, the boyfriend that you let live with you for 16 months basically rent free (he had since moved out because I told him to).  And apparently she has been sleeping with him for 4 months.  So I did what I should, changes the locks, blocked his numbers, called him every name in the book and told him I never wanted to speak to him.  AND the crazy thing is that in every angry email and phone call he has placed to me since then, he never ONCE has apologized.  It is always been my fault for not speaking to him and her fault for being obsessed with him.  WOW!  So buh-bye to RCH Jr.

It did get me to thinking about the common denominator in all of this and that would be yours truly.  It sure makes me reflect on what this classy female is putting out there, do I just not know how to pick them?  Or am I not reading the signs from He's Just Not That Into You...I am not sure, but don't worry about me, I have my sweet little Ruby Caroline to keep me company.  Today I am getting my toes and eyelashes done...having lunch with friends, I will pick myself up and forge ahead as any classy, intelligent female would.

And so here is my message to the gentlemen out there, don't cheat on your girl, just break up with her.  Have some class in how you break with her as well.  Seriously...this email and text message crap is so childish, grow up and tell her you just don't want to see her anymore.

And here is my message to the ladies like me out there... Yep, those gentlemen can be JERKS, but best to be classy and move on.  Rest assured, some crazy, classy gentleman out there will want to put up with your crazy, classy...pain in the butt self eventually.

....keep your heels, chin and standards high....

BONSOIR, CHEERS and CIAO BELLAS!
