Gotta Have a J.O.B. ( Water )

 So , I fell off the deep end , so sue me. I actually have to do some dating to have something to say.  I have been dating heavily lately. So , I will be hitting you with various experiences that I have had since we last met. OK . Without further delay........


Pebbles was right one when she said "Gotta have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me , Ain't nothing going on but the rent".  Now I do not know for sure if I  sound gold digger-esque by saying it but here goes  . Listen , I work hard for what I have and I don't want to support anyone else. I have a  career, a degree, and a nice apartment. So I do bring a lot to the table when I say , You need a job and to be in command of your financial situation when it comes to wanting to date me. This brings me to the last guy I was seeing.   In his defense, he did  have a Job but  I guess, it was not working for him.  We had been seeing one another for 2 months. I met him at a lounge. I usually don't even speak to the guys I meet when I go to those types of places. But he seemed  "different" (But they all seem different at the initial juncture ). He didn't seem hard up or in a rush to get me naked.  So I gave him a chance.

   First, things were going well but he would never pick me up , only drop me off. When I asked about it, he said he could not afford to because of gas prices. I accepted that because I know the gas prices are outrageous .  Another incident ,  He asked me to pay for parking because we were downtown and he couldn't find anything and had to pay a parking garage.  After that  it was  groceries for a BBQ .  Then the icing on the cake was ,  (drum roll)  He asked me to pay a parking ticket.  Pump the breaks home boy!   I thought to myself, You want me to do WHAT!?   I could not believe the audacity. This was not my boyfriend, this was not someone I had known for years or even half a year , yet he thought it was OK to ask me for cash dollars.  Big mistake .

I thought to myself , if its like this two months in, I could only imagine what it would be like 2 years in. I couldn't. I just could not  understand why , if  you have a job , you don't have any money ? What could you possibly be spending your cash on?  It causes me to think that  you  have other things going on that prevent you from properly managing your finances. Also , in 2 months why am I suddenly your go-to-guy? All I knew was that this was a responsibility that I did not want.  I do understand that we all have our hard times,however , If you have hard times, there is no reason you should be out clubbing . I also believe, that as a man, you should be a provider and I was not seeing the potential to provide for me.  So , I split .
