Let's NOT talk about Sex (just yet)

“You gotta treat her like a lady” (Temptations)

Dear Future Suitors, 

Please refrain from bringing up the boudoir until you have passed the application process and we have established that we are dating. It would be nice if we could order an appetizer before trying to discuss what undergarments I'm wearing? I mean honestly there are so many things going on in the world and this is only thing you can think of to break the ice. Seriously dude?

During or RIGHT after the first date is not the time to give me a “sexy” moniker. Sexy Lips, Babe, Sweetie are fine and dandy names and in the future I might find them endearing and sweet, but on a first encounter they will cause me to cringe and give you the side eye. In my mind I'm thinking this fool forgot my name. My parental units went through the hassle of picking a suitable name for me, so let's try and use it please. 

I'm not a prude and I love compliments, but I believe there's a time line for such talks. And the first date is NOT the time for it. I'm not naive and I totally understand that the outside wrapping is what first grabs a person’s attention. But at some point individuals need to look beyond the physical to make a connection.
Take the time to woo me.  Allow me to enjoy blushing, the butterflies, and the anticipation of that first kiss. Give me a bit of mystery and the option to be curious about certain things.

When everything out of your mouth is in regards to physical attributes I see you viewing me as conquest. And I refuse to be anyone's Mount Everest.

Individuals looking to only get their jollies off need not apply here.

Affectionately yours,

Beautifully Flawed
