I knew I’d fight for you when I said “hi”

It’s just not proprietary to tell you that

Those who know about me, know that I’m on the GO all the time. When I’m out the door, it’s a fight to get back in the door.

People have asked me, “have you talked with _____?”

No.

“Have you talked to anyone at a coffee shop?”

No. I probably have a headache, I’m in, I’m out.

So let me tell you, when you catch my attention and you respond appropriately, I’m in it to win it. As long as there are no big red flags, like you’re married or your hottest topic is not getting to know me, I’m game. From the moment I took the time to say “hi”, I knew I would fight for you.

You creating division to “test” me, not knowing life throws enough sh*t my way — is a red flag, that did not mean I gave up. That just means you shown me you were 21 years old.

Some women may catch my attention, but there is a plethora of reasons why there was no “hi” in our futures. On a side note, it’s always a good idea to brush your hair with your left hand. That helps. If I pass you on your righthand side, I’ll probably just walk on by. But, that is a different topic.

So, the world tries to make things complicated. Of course warriors will put everything on the line, but they are also well-trained for what IS TO COME, not worrying about women using the excuse, “how do you know about children, you don’t have any?” Does me knowing how to not quit, understanding human learning, and how to wait for the right person tell you I know how to teach basic ethics?

If I say “hi”, I will fight for you. Or I would not have even said anything. Most of the time people say that women knew he was the one first — lol, no. I knew from “hi”. You had to trust me first, then your feelings went back to when we first met and clouded you remembering you never did not trust me. It’s actually pretty simple. There have been many writers and researchers who have made this distinction.

But, this is not saying men will fight for you if they say “hi”, because they have not shown you they have been victorious in their past issues. And just because I will fight for you today, does not mean relationship is cake-work. To keep that momentum takes 2 with a single vision to work towards.

I have high expectations alongside human standards.
