Here's a 'list' of my relationship do's and (mostly) dont's, and other random things. no need to be scared of me or my profile.. a lot of it's tongue in cheek :) and dont be afraid to say 'no thanks'.. we're all adults here i hope.. (also, i can't read messages or IM or anything else but wink on here.. keep reading if you want to talk though) ((also also, i really do read your guys' profiles))
• The first rule of ‘dealing with Eric’ is simple: if you’re offended by something I say, you’ve taken it the wrong way. I am not a mean person at all.. at the same time, you cant offend easily either :)
• I don’t care if you love dogs or animals in general, just so long as you treat Daisy like I do
• It’s not my job to judge you, so don’t ever think that’s what I’m doing. Just because I don’t like that hat you bought doesn’t mean I think you’re a bad person, it just means I think the hat you like is ugly, so what. I’m not going to treat you differently because you bought an ugly hat… unless you spent $800 on it
• jealousy is ugly.. If you won’t trust me to be alone with another girl, then we won't work. I’m not your last boyfriend, so there’s no need to take your trust issues out on me
• Close-mindedness is awfully ugly, too.. I have no desire to be with someone who genuinely thinks they are better than anyone that isn't like them or doesn't think like they do.. i feel bad for you people
• Dont act like everything that doesnt go your way is the worst thing to happen in the history of the world
• Yes there are good guys left, so stop asking :)
• I don't pay so write me with ejamesi on ya who
• I can't be beat at ladder ball or trivial pursuit.. I make it a general rule not to lose (and i wont throw a game just because you're my girlfriend) :)
• I swear.. frequently at times. the f word is probably my favorite.. hey it's just a word people, i'm not killing anyone with it
• Man, you girls love your Coachella
• I may seem distracted, but I'm always listening
• I’m up for anything that’s physically challenging
• I'm pleasantly competitive
• If you think it’s rational to pay $900 for a purse because it’s on sale from $2500, we’re not going to work… or you just shouldn’t tell me about it
• I’d be lying if I said physical attraction wasn’t important. And I hope you take care of yourself because it’s what’s best for you, not because it’s aesthetic
• DONT sweat the small stuff… or if you do, DONT expect me to sweat with you. I couldn’t care less if that girl looked at you ‘the wrong way’, or you broke a fingernail you overpaid for, or your $100 lipstick melted in the car. Odds are, there are plenty of people in the world who have it worse than you. Figure out how to deal with everyday life, and be quiet about it :)
• The Golden Rule.. try it
• It’s okay if we don’t agree, you’re not going to hurt my feelings
• If you can’t tell what’s acceptable to say out loud, work on it
• If I don’t agree with a point you're trying to make, it doesn’t mean I don’t support you or have your back, it just means that I don’t agree with your particular point of view in that instance. Chill
• There's a huge difference between saying you don't like drama and not liking drama
• If you like to yell… well, just do it to someone else, because I’m tuning you out. We’re civil, so talk
• I can take things for granted in relationships, but I’m getting more conscious about it
• I’m not perfect.. you're dumb to expect that
• I'm not a professional dater, so don't expect me to have all the 'right moves'
• I speed
• I don’t need you to have three Pulitzers, but if you can’t spell or build coherent sentences.. uhh, try to learn ;)
