Why are you single?

Anthony Lewis March 2 at 10:59pm

It's a combination of things. For one, I had no confidence up until this year. That's THE most effective way to turn a woman away. Two, I'm shy. Even though I have confidence now, I still get butterflies approaching women...it's just the way I'm made; then, I'm a low-key person too, so it runs together. Three, I'm not what a typical woman wants. I'm nothing like Trey Songz, Drake, Blair Underwood, or whoever else. Women think 'nice guys' are predictable and soft and whatnot, so that detracts them from me.

RG: Explain/Describe the 'Nice Guy'.


AL: Polite, gentle, mannerable, giving of compliments, calm, accepting, a gentleman.



RG: What type of woman would best suit you, if any?


AL: I really don't know, to be honest. Just a down to earth young lady that could laugh, eat, think, and be real with me. I know it's vain, but I'd like for her to be fashionable as well...I really dig that in young ladies. But like I said, I don't really know.



RG: That's understandable. I’m not here to judge. I’m going to assume you don't know what would be your ideal woman, physically, but just to get a direction, would she be a plain jane,pretty girl, or close to Hollywood’s standards? Or somewhere in between?


AL: Probably a pretty girl. I like young ladies that care about their appearance...I just don't like the snobby ones, or the ones that think their appearance will get them somewhere. As long as you and I (more so you, lol) think you look nice, that's as far as it should go. I'm not into vanity...just a little confidence.



RG: is confidence the key?


AL: It is...I lived without it for so long...and now I know just how important it is. I'm not saying I'm obsessed with it, but it's one of the first things I notice and look for in a young lady. Funny thing is, I'm not a stickler...once she shows me she has it, I won't be looking for it or anything like that. It's really just a perk, more than anything. I'm only big on the "laugh, eat, think, and be real with me" part.






RG: Don't you feel like those are things that would just come natural in a relationship?


AL: They should, but not all young ladies are like that...some of them are gold diggers, overly promiscuous, extremely vain, spoiled, and immature, you name it. I don't ask for a lot, but it can be hard to find.






RG: You're preaching to the choir.

Would you want someone who complements your flaws or looks pass them?

 


AL: It depends on the flaw. A little of both. If you complement them all, I'll end up being "too perfect"...if you look past them all, we'll never be able to mesh. Has to be a balance. Scratch "it depends on the flaw."


RG: I’m loving this. =)

first does it turn you on if a woman approaches you?

Secondly how should she approach?



AL: I'll be honest. I've never had a woman approach me. If one were to, I would just like for her to say "Hi, how are you? *I answer* That's good...my name is so-and-so, and I'd like to converse with you, if you're interested." It's so simple and polite...it'd be hard to say no. lol.


RG: Lol... Ok. On to the things I consider basics...turn ons? /offs?


AL: Um...let's see. Turn ons would be...a nice classy outfit, HEELS (had to emphasize, lol), intelligence, a nice smile, great conversation, subtle confidence.


Turn offs...'ghettoness,' chipped nail polish, too much skin/cleavage showing, really bad or nappy weave, too much confidence, lack of intelligence.


RG: Ok why HEELS? Lol


AL: I don't know...I just love it when women wear heels! Lol.


RG: Ha.ok.

Give me you in a nutshell





AL: Um...an intelligent gentleman that you'll misunderstand until you learn to love him.





RG: :D (Speechless....) wow. That’s not what I expected.


What do you think your purpose is?


AL: I believe my purpose on this earth is to illuminate minds. I'm here to write and speak messages that upon reception brighten the thoughts of those who read and hear them. In life, things happen. Part of my job is to help people understand why, and how. If that can help them repeat, prevent, or just gain clarity on something, then I'm doing what I need to do.


RG: Besides writing and educating, what are your passions?


AL: I love music, and I really like art and fashion...I like to make music, and want to learn how to play a piano. I want a house/condo filled with art, and I'd like to start my own line/lend the design to a line of clothing.


RG: What type of music?


Casual clothing?

AL: Any type of music, outside of that death metal stuff. I love how music says what the soul cannot literally speak. And I'm a huge fan of Ralph Lauren, so clothing like his...that refined, country club, classy, timeless style.



RG: Would you consider those goals or dreams?

Male and female?






AL: Um...desires. They don't have to be done, I would just like for them to happen. And yes, male and female.



RG: excuse my absence, facebook wasn't liking me.

What inspires you?



AL: It's cool. Good question....honestly, I'm inspired by life. Just being here makes me want to do my best.



RG: Does your family play a major role in your life?


AL: Yes. That's my foundation. No matter what, that's the first and last thing I am thankful for. I don't talk to them much, but I love knowing that they're there.



RG: What’s your biggest fear?


AL: Sorry for the hiatus, I was at work. My biggest fear is not doing what I'm capable of. I have so much potential, and so many possibilities...selling myself short would be a travesty.



RG: You're fine; I went out with my father then had a meeting.

Are you sure you’re single? Because who wouldn't want you lol.

Monogamy vs. polygamy? What’s your take on it?



AL: That's nice! And yeah, I'm sure. Lol. I have no problem with religious polygamy. If that's a part of your religion, or even your culture, then that's you. I can't stand when anyone else does it though...if that's not a part of your lifestyle, then it means you're being unfaithful...which should be a crime. I believe in monogamy. Giving all of you to ONE person.


RG: I know you just had a bornday not too long ago, Jan 22nd? I think, sorry if I’m wrong but you are a Pisces?

Pisces are said to be devoted, compassionate, creative people as well as indecisive, shy and trustworthy...would you say you fit all of these characteristics?





AL: February 24th, and yes...that fits me to a tee.


RG: Oops I’m sorry, I def meant Feb. but I remember sending you a happy bornday comment. I feel bad now
. =(

Ideally, when would you like to be married, if ever?


AL: Don't feel bad. It's cool. And I don't know when...just whenever the time is right. I'm not rushing it, but I'll be happy when it happens. I could get married right now and be happy...even without ever having a dating life. I would love to just love that one lady.


RG: Describe the perfect date for you....if I’m not being repetitive


AL: Um...a movie and dinner. Go see something nice, then chill and talk about it over some good food. I love to eat, and I'd love for her to enjoy herself at the movies. Then, another night, I'd like to do a night at an art gallery. A little wine and art, then a nice dinner. I'm pretty simple.



RG: Krause art gallery on Peters is pretty nice btw and a few others.

Do you cook?






AL: Ok, I'll have to remember that. And no, I don't...I wish I did though, I'd love for a date to be just me cooking for my girl, then playing the piano for her while she eats by candlelight. That's one of my dream dates.


RG: Geesh. Yu play? What other hidden talents do you have?



AL: I want to learn how to play, lol. Um...I can draw, I make beats, and I'm a good teacher.



RG: Hmmm... Ok.

How important is physical relations in a relationship to you?


AL: It's not, at all. I'm not a sexual person...it's the last thing on my mind. Also, I plan on staying a virgin until I get married, or at least find a special someone to share that with. Who's to say that my sexual side won't show up soon...I'm still growing. lol. But as of right now, it's not important to me.





RG: Dig that answer

Mr. Lewis thank you for allowing me to tap into your brain for a lil while. I've enjoyed your answers. If you wanna ask me questions don't hesitate, i’m an open person. Thanks again.


AL: You're very welcome; I've enjoyed it as well!
