I have found my dream man. His name is Douglas.
Douglas is a man who knows his place. That is very important when you are looking for stability and security in a relationship.
Douglas always knows where he is, where he’s going and where he’ll end up. With him, I know I am in safe hands.
There’s nothing more frustrating than being with a man who knows not where he is going and therefore always ends up lost and worse, refusing to admit it.
Many relationships have been left asunder on the highways of the world when a man gets lost and you know he is, and he knows he is, but he refuses to admit it and refuses to ask someone for directions.
I’ve ended up in strange places that way. Once, we ended up on a dead end in a small French village by which time it was too late to ask directions because no one could speak English.
Douglas is someone too who would never drive a car till the fuel tank is empty. He’s too sensible for that.
This has happened to me twice. Once on the highway from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and the car literally shuddered and stopped. We had to flag down someone and siphon petrol from their car to give us just enough so we could get to the closest fuel station.
Another time was on the winding road up to Batu Ferringhi in Penang when the car just stalled at a bend – a highly inconvenient stop for not just us but also for every vehicle headed up that road.
Men like that drive women round the bend.
Douglas however knows how to get round every bend and get me to my desired destination.
The other thing I like about Douglas is, because like me, he’s an outdoor type. He hates being indoors because that’s when he can get disoriented. Douglas needs light and open sky to be at his best. Just like me. A woman in the shade can wilt faster than you can say “drive”.
Douglas also gives me the freedom to be myself. With him, I know I can go anywhere and be anything I wish. I can go off the beaten track in any place, have crazy, wonderful adventures and know he will always be there for me and get me back safely to where I belong.
This is very important to a woman – the need to be free and yet feel protected and secure.
Best of all, Douglas doesn’t talk back. I just have to tell him where I want to go, and he takes me there.
Faster than I can say GPS.
