"When the past calls, ignore it. It has nothing new to say." 

I'm all for that saying until the right part of my past called. (He didn't call exactly but you get the idea.) There has only been one ex-boyfriend in my past who has done all the right things and said all the right things. Although things didn't work out for us, he's the type of guy every girl wants. (You know the kind of guy!) The one who calls, the one who opens doors, the one who does sweet things on a daily basis? That was him! 

 That got me thinking...what happened to the days when guys, men, whatever you want to call them made the effort. Nowadays it seems like the attention to detail is a step that is often too quickly forgotten. For the guys reading this (and I know some of you do), don't get me wrong, I'm no Princess but I am a firm believer in chivalry and that effort (on both ends) needs to be made.

I miss the days that guys would plan the first date. Pick you up, pay for the date and ACTUALLY call you within the next couple of days. I miss the days when guys would call you because they missed you or send you a sweet text message or do something so unexpected and sweet for you because they want you to see how much they care about you. The idea of 'playing games' shouldn't be a dating concept, instead it should be something related to elementary school students. Come on now! Everyone is a grown up here (despite what we might think), and so its time to act like a grown up.  

EFFORT! Its not that hard. Its simple. If you like me, tell me, better yet, show me. Make the effort to show that you care enough to pay attention to the details. 

Thank you to my ex-boyfriend who came back into my life and made me think about what it is exactly that I want. I definitely will not settle but now, I know that there are still good guys out there who can make the effort. I see it with my friends and their relationships so it will happen for me and the other girls who are wondering the same thing. Like my ex-boyfriend said recently, "You're still single because a man hasn't proven him self worthy of you yet!"
Know your worth ladies and make sure you're with someone who is willing to show you how much you mean to them.
