Dualities

I am a contradictory person. This recently occurred to me. What I like, or think I like, contradicts with how these things make me feel.

I want a sensitive guy, a sweet caring guy who is in touch with his emotions. I want for my guy to be comfortable enough around me to be able to display his emotions. The kicker is that I get really uncomfortable when grown men cry. I think it has more to do with a sense of helplessness that I feel when a guy cries. I just want them to be happy, and it disturbs me to realize that there's little I can do to console a crying man.

I also hope to meet an ambitious and successful man someday. I couldn't date someone who lacked drive. Even so, I doubt I could date a workaholic -- I mean a serious workaholic, someone who works 7 days a week, leaves early in the morning and comes home only to sleep. I couldn't do it. I'm by no means a needy girl; I'm not that demanding, but I don't want to have to constantly compete with his job, seems like a losing battle from the get go.

So, where does that leave me? Finding a guy who might potentially not exist. ;-) haha. Life is about moderation, I guess. Even moderation.

that's so not a contradiction and a very common desire. Guys can totally be sensitive and emotional without crying. And they can be ambitious without being a workaholic.
