Miranda: “Men are like cabs. When they’re available, their light goes on. They wake up one day and they decide they’re ready to settle down, have babies, whatever. And they turn their light on. The next woman they pick up, boom, that’s the one they’ll marry. It’s not faith, it’s dumb luck.”
One of my favorite quotes from Sex and the City. I really agree with what Miranda says here. 90% of the time a relationship moves forward to love and marriage is when the man is ready. Women are always ready. It’s the men we have to wait on to finally decide “Ok, I’m ready to settle down now and make this real.” Why do you think men are the ones that buy the ring and get down on one knee and propose?
I’ve known girls who have dated guys for YEARS and for whatever reasons, they break up. Within a few months, that guy has moved onto a new girlfriend and proposes to her within 6 months of the relationship. He finally decided to turn his light on. It was the girl before that was just unlucky to meet him and have a relationship with him when his light was off.
So I’ll just continue to live my single life in the same sense of how I hail cabs. Throw my arm up in the air and hope the man I jump into has his light on.
