“THIS GIRL COMES AS IS”
DOTTY
Maybe you got scared being serious about a guy for once and
you decided to find something bad to focus on so you could have an
excuse to dump him. What else was wrong with him?
You have to be kidding me. That’s why you dumped him?
Because he’s poor? But shouldn’t you marry for love?
Love lasts longer than money. So no matter how great the guy is,
if he doesn’t have money, then you’re not interested?
You’re impossible. I have standards.
I want to meet a man who loves me for who I am and supports my dreams.
He won’t ask me to change, but accept all my imperfections.
I don’t want to be some guy’s project and have him turn me into his mother.
And I want to love the man for who he is and not have to work him over
and mold him into something he’s not. If you don’t love someone for
who they really are then they’re not right for you. I know I have a lot
of odd quirks and strange ways of looking at things.
I don’t want to have to hide all that from someone and pretend to be someone I’m not.
Take me as I am, boys. This girl comes “as is.”
