Age aint nothing but a number..

What age does a man grow up?

Let me give you a little background.

I have NEVER dated anyone close to my age. Every relationship I have ever been in the man has been 3 to 8 years older than me. Dating someone older provided me with security, provided me with somewhat of a shelter. Someone with a little more life experience is kind of like a shelter some kind of protection from everyday life.

I know this sounds cliche but I think I have that 'daddy' complex. I want someone that I feel safe with. Someone that will keep me from harm.

Now on the flipside of this...as I get older I am starting to realize that men are men. Older does not always mean wiser.

I have been thru a lot of BS. With men that are older than me. Sometimes Age really is nothing but a number.

Im starting to see that a man is 'grown' when he stops playing all the games. A man is a man when he is responsible for his own. When he pays his own bills and is not worried about the opinions of others.

A man is grown in a relationship when making that woman happy is his main goal. When he realizes that his 'boys' are not the end all be all of advice. When he makes a decision and is not worried about what anyone has to say about it.

People ask me what love is all the time. To me love is being able to care for someone so much that you think of them before you think of yourself...

Bringing it back to reality....Today is the day that I stop looking at how old a man is as a gage for his maturity level. Im getting older... maybe I will even live out some lucky young man's older woman fantasy. (Every man has one lol)

So Today's song is Pink&Blue by Andre 3K. Love the song (but oddly enough R.Kelly Co-wrote it, yeah I know) So listen and enjoy....
