What do you look for?

Ok so what do you look for in a girl? I have a hard time meet guys since I am teaching kindergarten. There have been a few guys over the years that I have liked but guys don't seem to make the first move.

hmm, every guy looks for something different. I'm looking for someone that isn't going to boss me around.

I don't think guys in your age range really have a clue what they're really looking for! I know I didn't when I was that age. And it's epidemic how much young men lack the affirmation and self confidence needed to overcome that fear of rejection and initiate.



If I had one profile suggestion for ladies on here, it would be to have a really good close up pic of your face as your main pic. Guys click click click on those thumbnails that show up on the top of each page, and in a row of tiny thumbnails, the best close ups stand out the most. I think it will draw more visitors to your profile where they can read and get to know you.

you are one of the few girls your age that most guys would look at and think you really have your life together or on track. I've got a few years on you, but a bunch of my female friends are teachers/instructors. Even though you work with kids, and can be open and genuine, it's a bit intimidating. A friend of mine is actually in your same boat. She's a first grade teacher, and sometimes We have lunch together cause I get done work early in the day, and her kids have lunch recess and nap all at once. (It seems odd to me too, but she makes it work) She posed me the exact same question, as we were watching the kids play at recess.

You could see in her eyes how much she loves all "her" kids. She's great with them, and would like some of her own someday.

A guy sees this and thinks: ok, she works in education, so she's got brains. She's in charge of a classroom, so she's got will/leadership abilities. She's about 28 and works with kids all day, which means her biological clock is TICKING! A lot of guys are actually yes, slightly intimidated by that. You're only 22, so the biological clock thing is not aimed at you at all, that's specific to MY friend;) However, you've got to realize that many guys that age aren't sure if they want kids or not, and you working with them is great! But it starts a guy thinking (please no hate mail) You see, from a guy's point of view, you've got your entire life together, and the missing piece is him, and since you work with kids, you obviously like them, so us guys assume you want them, and well, yeah, intimidating, Hope this helped-skinny

What a great question! Probably the most imortant one a woman could ask. We all think that what men only want is sex. And yes, that's largely true. However, what we REALLY want is our mommy! Lame, embarassing and extremely unfortunate but nonetheless true. And ya'll are looking for daddy so here we are, just a bunch of big fat liars :)



There's lots of data to support this statement but perhaps the best work is by Harville Hendrix, a book called, "How to get the love you want". The good news is that if we both know what's really going on then we have a chance to accomplish what relationship was designed to do - heal our past wounds. Then, like most injured people after healing, we are free to play.



And for what it's worth, yours is one of the most noble professions. I applaud any person willing to put up with the low wages and poor working conditions to be mentors to kids. Good for you!



Be patient and know God loves you.
