Boys????

I just don't understand them. I'm sure they say the same thing about girls, but I just don't think I am that complicated. Now maybe I have some unrealistic expectations of boys, but is it that hard to be a gentleman? Is it that hard to understand that I want them to make the first move? I'm all for the strong, powerful, independent woman, but I still want to be treated like the princess that I am. I still want someone to open the door for me, or walk me to my car. I also want them to be the first one to call me or ask me out. I have a few friends that always tell me that if you like him "ask him out." No, I want him to ask ME out. I might be single for the rest of my life waiting for a boy to make the first move, but I am holding my ground! Just the other day a boy told me, "let me know if you want my number." If I want your number? Why don't you ask for my number? My mom thinks I am going to be single for the rest of my life because I am too picky. I am not picky, I just know what I want, I want a gentleman! I don't think I should settle for someone that won't treat me with the respect I deserve. I have provided a life for myself all on my own, I have proven that I don't "need" a man in my life. I would like a man in my life, but they need to add to my life not take away from it. I know they are few and far between, but I am still convinced that there is a gentleman out there for me.
