Mary Ann,
This e-mail helped me greatly, I have been in a lot of relationships
where I feel like I can't be myself. I am a quirky guy who likes to play
with computers, radios, and phones. I like to record interesting or
really mundane things like trips to the grocery store. My friends are
very important to me, and I spend a lot of time with them. I don't feel
like I am allowed to be this type of person when I'm dating someone. I
feel like I have to spend every waking moment with her. I feel like I've
got roses and chocolates coming out of my ears and it'll never end. I
hate the fluffy puppy love crap, I want to find someone who will let me
be the kind of person I really am around her. I don't want to cut her
out of my life and hide in a cave and spend my entire day on the
computer, but I would like to not feel like a slime bucket when I do. I
want to find someone who will be interested in some of the same stuff as
me, and wouldn't mind sharing these hobbies with me. I'm willing to
participate in her hobbies too but it never seems to work that way.
Every woman I've ever dated has always tried to take away everything I
hold dear, and replace it with stuff she wants me to participate in. I'm
a geek, I like who I am, stop trying to make me someone I'm not! Watch
Star Trek with me and don't belittle it. Listen to books with me, and
comment on the parts that you liked and disliked. Help to broaden my
horizons and expose me to new ideas that I've never thought of. Talk to
me on an intellectual level, I'm not an idiot. Be a part of my circle of
friends, or at least let me hang out with them on a regular basis. These
are the things I'm looking for in a relationship, and your e-mail helped
me understand the way women think a bit better. Maybe if I had said some
of these things to the people I've dated, things may have changed for
the better. Perhaps if I were more open with people, they would
understand me a little better.
Thanks Mary Ann,
Byron

Very rarely, I get something that is so enspiring that I have to think
about it. I'm keeping this. It was just right somehow. It must have
taken you a long time to write it, and it's times like this I wonder
what people think of this list I started back in 2004. It has it's
uses though. I think that you've proved it today. I can't be nearly
as eloquent at saying this as you, but you really did a good job. And
you made me really hungry.
So with that, I shall depart.
