Boys!

I feel that there is a disconnect between what we girls think boys should be and what stupid boys actually are.  There I've said it.  It may not be always the case, and I'm not of the mindset that all boys are stupid.  In fact there are some very very non-stupid boys out there.  However, it would seem the ones I'm meeting are just not trying very hard.

This week, especially, observing a few at work has been enough to break the camel's back. To start with, the one actually pretty perfect boy is happily married.  That of course is kind of a pain.  Then there are the single but obviously single for a reason boys.  These are the ones that seem pretty nice until you talk with them for a few minutes and realize why in fact they are single in the first place.  Then there's the boy, who was originally pretty perfect on paper, that goes from perfect to crazy-pants in the drop of a hat.  This stupid boy keeps you on your toes because you can't quite figure out what you're going to get each day which is what makes him so exceedingly frustrating!

And as an intelligent, girl, you can't really figure out why you liked him/like him in the first place but that doesn't stop you from liking him in the second place.  Then there's the boy that everyone says is perfect for you but you don't really know because he's just as shy as you are and you've never actually had a conversation with him.  Ugh!  Why is this so difficult!?

Yet another reason to continent-hop.  I'm pretty sure the Brits would never put up with this behavior.  Though that may just be my idealistic view of all boys in Britain resembling Benedict Cumberbatch in one way or another...
