Looking for Ms. Wrong

It has been said by several theorists that every person comes with a love map. A love map refers to specific moments in your life in childhood that affect the type of person that you will become attracted to later on in life. Though, I have never been in a relationship in my life (I know, I know. I’m the founder of a relationship magazine) but one thing I am sure of is my love map. I am attracted to wild and crazy girls. You know the type I’m talking about, the girls you see late at night on the Girls Gone Wild infomercials. The girls that like to dress sexy and don’t care who look at them, the girls that don’t want a boyfriend, but several. That’s just the way it is. That’s what I like. It’s like a disease. You can’t help it.

Which leads me to a time last summer when I met a relationship/sex therapist for my magazine. Over lunch we talked about love and relationships and a bit about why we do the things we do when we fall in love, and also what makes us fall in love with a particular type of person. I told him my type and right after I told him he said, “I can tell you now if you follow along that path you will be guaranteed a divorce or two.”

So what am I to do? Try to fight my love map? I don’t think you can fight it. So far I haven’t and maybe that’s why I am still single. It’s not that I want a relationship right now, I am having too much fun and freedom by not being in one. I like being able to casually date as many girls as I want at the same time.

But wait! I like being able to do the same things that the girls I fall for like doing. How can I be the one to blame them? From the girls that I have liked, there average time with what they consider a “boyfriend” is a couple of months. Then it goes bad. How do I know this, you ask? Cause it’s about the same time every few months I start to see these girls out at bars again looking for their next “two month-er”.

I guess that’s all I was to them at the time I was with them. A “two month-er” I don’t know if it was they or myself that made things go badly. There they are, unhappy at the bar looking for “Mr. Right”, and then he comes. He’s Mr. Right for sixty-one days, and then he becomes Mr. Wrong.

I still feel young, and I don’t plan on getting married anytime soon. Not because I haven’t found the right girl, because I don’t want to get married. I’m not going to fight my love map and try looking for Ms. Right. I don’t want to meet her yet. I am having too much fun meeting Ms. Wrong(s), and that is just fine for me for now.

The thing is, is that these girls tell people they are “looking for Mr. Right”. Maybe these girls are kidding themselves by looking for Mr. Right. Maybe they should be looking for Mr. Wrong to find Mr. Right.

An anonymous person once said to me “You can’t help who you fall in love with, it just happens.” Boy, were they right! Why should I get married to Ms. Wrong? I just want to casually date her for a few months then move on to the next Ms. Wrong I fall for. Maybe that is how my love map is laid out for me. Is that so wrong?
