Now you see the man - usually hes the one u go to with puppy eyes and a big jar of cream cheese usually flicking your hand, "please open this for me, I couldn't" - BLAH. That's all they are good for. The physical stuff. Anything that requires rubbing two brain cells together and you can cross that off the list. Anything that requires usually anything got to do with emotions and you can start laughing / daydreaming.
What is it with men exactly and commitment?? They would GLADLY be your unofficial husband in the form of running your errands, fighting for your honour, opening doors, scaring off any other suitors, etc. BUT when it comes to adding that piece of paper into the equation, they freak out!!! I mean yeah OK i get it, the paper is binding and long term, but if you already decided that this is the person you want to marry than whats stopping you?? Don't they get it!! Its not like girls are wedding piranhas!!! Well some are but most aren't. That piece of paper is, for me personally, i would consider it as security. And I'm not talking about the "Hes not playing around" kind of security, no. I'm talking "Now I don't have to sneak around" kind.
Logically speaking - an engagement is formal dating. You are able to do it publicly without worrying about which member of the extended family will you get busted by. At the end of the day its just an engagement, its not even that scary piece of paper. If things don't work out they just don't!!! End of story. No shame in it. But wouldn't every guy be more comfortable going out with his girlfriend (lets for the sake of comfort NOT call her a fiance), without having to do a random dash for the bathroom when a fathers cousin is passing by, or having her scoot down in the car when the brother is in the next lane??
Yes yes yes, I know what everyone is thinking. Not true. Just ranting and raving. My business. Shoo away.
