while sitting at trivia the other night one of my guy friends happened to joke about how i was high maintenance...but i would like to strongly disagree with that....

my definition of high maintenance...

according to google:

adjective

1.Needing a lot of work to keep in good condition

2.(of a person or relationship) Demanding a lot of attention

Example - Caitlin is our only child and she's very high-maintenance

OK now looking at these definitions...i would definitely say that i am NOT high maintenance...
so i asked this guy friend to explain what made him think that i was...

his reply..."well Steph...you have a very Strong personality. You command the attention of any guy that you like and hold him to high expectations. you set the standard high and if he does not meet that you disregard them"...

OK according to his definition...i would totally have to agree. but i don't think i would call me "high maintenance" so to speak...

i honestly do not know what word to call it but i know that i do command the attention of a guy. you don't have to devote every second to me but i don't like to be ignored.  I am still a tomboy so getting dressed up for me does not take a long time.  I always offer to pay when i am on a date (my mama taught me to do that!) and when a guy is a true gentleman it def scores bonus points (opening doors...pulling out chairs...knowing which side of me to walk on if we are walking down the street)

I have set a pretty high standard because if  i don't...then the guy can notice and he will do what he can to get away with it. how do i know this? i had to learn the hard way. so with a guy that i show true interest in naturally hold them to a high regard. but their actions could either keep or lose my interest.

so am i "high maintenance" by definition....no...but i will say that a girls got standards that need to be met
