...I guess I'd rather be right than be happy. This guy that spent a couple of days this week e-mailing me, trying to convince me to meet him, decided that our date tonight had to be postponed so he could go pick up his new fishing boat. And you know what? I told him to forget it, deal's off. I will not have a boat take priority over me EVER again, whether it's the first date or a fiancee. There was a time when I was pretty flexible about things like that; now I see it as a sign of things to come.
I'm fed up with broken dates and postponed plans, playing second fiddle to a stupid boat (or car), and being treated like I'm "disposable." So those are the buttons this guy pressed without even meeting me. So now he's not going to. I'm fed up with the dating "game." He hammered the final nail into my match.com "experience." I am never again going out with anyone who treats me like anything less than gold. I'm finished "settling" for losers, commitment-phobes and people that treat me like I just don't matter very much.

Do you remember the movie "Thelma and Louise"? During the movie, Thelma is complaining to Louise, saying that her husband doesn't pay enough attention to her. Louise says back,"You get what you settle for..."
One of the best statements I've ever heard.
You are so completely right! I would have tossed the guy a "later" ticket, too.

Yay, Patty! There you go.
And, when you find the right guy who is able to treat you like gold, you'll treat him like gold, too. Everyone will be happy, and the relationship will grow beyond what each of you as individuals put into it.
The reasoning is solid; but the chip on your shoulder has to go away before you'll be able to figure out if someone is actually going to treat you like gold... Don't you just hate boats though? I mean, really... You're so right to not play 2nd fiddle to a hole in the water.
