Like father, like boyfriend?

I know, I haven't posted in 3 months and now I'm doing 2 (maybe 3) in one day...I have time, give me a break! I have honestly been jotting down notes throughout the summer about things that I want to write about, so here I am - sitting with not much to do today but write and get all of my thoughts out.

So, I think I was in the car listening to the radio and it said something about your relationship with your father will influence your romantic relationships in the future (or currently) - and discussed that you look for someone with attributes of your father.

I started to reflect on my beau and the attributes that he and my father share and then ones that they don't. I'm not necessarily going to go through them (don't want to bore you), but it was just interesting to think about. Many of the attributes that I absolutely love and adore in my father are ones that I also love and adore my beau for.

I'm having a hard time making a connection in the way that the radio suggested. I'm not sure why, but maybe I just want to think that I had come to a sound understanding of what characteristics I was looking for and who I want to be with. Yes, that comes in line with being nurtured and loved throughout my life from both my parents, as well as by other adults in my life. I think it's very easy to make a generalized comment on the radio to say that there is a connection, because somewhere, somehow there probably is.

I look up to my father for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I know he will support me and love me for whatever I choose to do in my life. He is proud of me no matter what happens. I love him for that. 

Now, the question is...do guys pick their girls to be similar to their mothers? Hmmm, my beau's mother is a kindergarten teacher, I'm an elementary teacher....hahahahaha! (Sorry, had to put that in there).

(And yes, I do realize that I just wrote a whole posting using the word "beau" to reference my boyfriend...that is because I do not use names on my blog!)

Okay, that's my ranting - I know, I'm getting away from my spiritual posts...but this was interesting!
