While you have been waiting to be noticed by Mr. Right, Mr. Nice Guy finds you. And for the first time in a long time, you feel appreciated. You feel loved. You feel like a woman. Although He doesn’t have some of the qualities you are looking for, he is a gentleman. He pays attention to you and listens to you. He continuously pursues you and waits for you. All in all, he is high quality. Truly a great guy. And there is something in you that craves that relationship. And let’s be honest, the sexual tension. The joking. The playful banter. The excitement of getting to know someone… They all have the power to sway us. And perhaps, persuade us to settle for Mr. Nice and give up on the wait for Mr. Right. . . Mr. Nice is here.
It is so frustrating to try and keep yourself away from Mr. Nice… Those little things are so easily overlooked. Yet those little things can become huge problems.
I dated a Mr. Nice once. I told him up front, I wasn’t interested. He stuck around anyway. He pursued me through friendship. And eventually, I caved. Mr. Nice seemed pretty great and I just wanted to give it a try. Mr. Nice was great first… But eventually, after some agonizing months. .. I realized, Mr. Nice was Mr. Wrong for Me. And after I ended it with him, I faced some painful months and years.
So how is it, then, that Mr. Nice has found me again? In fact, I think he might be Mr. Wonderful. I just don’t think I can ignore a second time that little voice inside me that says… “He isn’t Mr. Right”. But that voice is so often quieted by the ones that point out how honest, and kind he is. And all of his other positive traits. No matter that He isn’t the man I’d always dreamed of…He pursues me… so why am I resisting again??
Dreams can be complex. See some dreams you can chase. And some you just have to wait for. Like, my dream has always been to be a wife and mother… over every other dream I’ve ever had… and that dream just likes to stay out of reach. Now, I could grab onto it by grabbing onto Mr. Nice… but then that dream may not be all that great, right? No. I’ve gotta wait for Mr. Right. And maybe someday that dream may come true…
Somehow, I must flee from all of the Mr. Nice Guys out there…and there are many… And wait for Mr. Right. Just because a relationship can be good, doesn’t mean it will be great…and great is what I’m praying for. Great is what I’m waiting for. Because good just isn’t good enough.
