Like wine, men get better with age.
We’ve all heard the saying before, but it’s not just about their looks.
I’ve managed to mostly avoid the Tinder-dating revolution, but I can tell you the boys I knew when I was younger were just as noncommittal and frustrating.
I can still hear the myriad of excuses. “I want to join the air force one day so it wouldn’t be fair on you” or my favourite, “I just don’t like labels.”
It wasn’t until meeting my current partner that I finally found someone who genuinely knew what he wanted. Even the ones before who agreed to let me call them my boyfriend were only it in title and rarely in action.
My partner admits it took him years to finally reach a point where he wanted to properly commit to someone. Some of the boys I’d “seen” before him are married now. It wasn’t until they grew up — became men, as cliché as that may be — that they realised what a woman has to offer.
Plus in my experience, the sex gets better too.
Thanks for sharing, Rachel. I enjoyed your writing style. I hope you find a man who better values you. You’ll have to tell us more about this warm beer substitute recipe some time — that’s a skill worth marrying for!
