NOT GOOD ENOUGH

To Meet the Love of Your Life(Your Daughter)

The Image Trend

It is funny how image plays such a big role in society today. I have learned especially in dating and relationships, a man can date you and feel comfortable but not feel comfortable bringing you around friends or family because of the fear of what they might say. How tragic? I will tell a short story of a woman falling deeply in love with a man who she held high in character because she saw no flaws just her love for him. In return, even though she was made to feel like she was his everything, he complimented her and made her feel royal emotionally until it was time to meet the family or friends. He was of course this money chaser and many other flaws but she still respected him and trust that he had her best interest at heart but soon one day she say it all crumble down when he kept saying yes to meeting his daughter and others but meaning no.

Not Good Enough

A young lady meets a young man who was not so good looking, not all that but seem to be a genuine man. This young lady was a good girl who never judged anyone from the outside but judged their treatment of her. So this young man definitely seems like a gentlemen and she let him in. They started to date and it was a good nine months except a few things went wrong. He had a daughter who she knew he loved and being that she loved him, all she wanted to do was meet the most important person in his life. He would tell this young lady that he would bring her by from time to time but it was always something that changed the ability to meet. When the young lady question he made it seem as if his daughter my not feel comfortable or she may ask to many questions and that was why but that's a kid any way, what was he hiding?

Soon this young lady tried other techniques to get him to bring the daughter by; an outing for them all, shopping (because he loved buying her clothes and shoes and bringing it to the young lady house to show off and get her opinion), day time kids movies, etc. She even offered to babysit because he said he had things to do but wanted to spend time with his daughter as well. This young lady was willing to do what it takes to meet the little precious, gray eyed lady he loved so much. He showed this young lady many pictures of his daughter and talked about her constantly; so of course, this made her eager to meet this precious child. One day as he went to pick up his little girl, he called the young lady and announced he was coming by. His daughter was in the car and the young lady could hear her talking to him (daddy). This young lady was excited beyond herself and as they got closer to where she lived, he advised plans had changed; he was in a rush and needed to pass out by her place and keep it moving. Tragic!!!!! In the end as this young lady at this moment remember how he had stated his little girl met other women he dated which did not seem at all comparable to her from what he told her but he wasn't ashamed to let her be around them. I will admit that these other women were nice bodied but rugged. The one lady he dates that is well dressed, business minded, great mother for kids and role model; he didn't want his daughter to meet. What was going on?

The young lady was not rugged enough to meet his daughter. Although he had no problems with having a heavyset woman in the background with good morals and values, she was just not good enough for the world he was creating for himself. She didn't fit in his image of things and that was a problem. The young women who he claimed to love and respect was not good enough to meet his daughter who was the love of his life!
