Hey Pretty Lady,
Women are ready much earlier than men to settle down. Part of it has to do with the fact that we're natural "nesters." Look at you and how you're all ready to get your nest settled down for the winter. I'll betcha that "V" Idiot hasn't even given it a thought! He could care less about nesting.
But wait 'till he's 40. Unfortunately, by then, all the good gals, such as you, will already be "nested down."
Actually, times have changed a LOT. Hubby commented on it just the other day. Women aren't so quick to settle down -- with a man -- nowadays. I see it all the time too; women want their freedom, they wanna have fun and do things without having to do them with that person at home holding them back. Some women are even returning their engagement rings, moving out and finding their own apartments!
Cutie, your mom is right. The ability to love like you do and to receive love in return is a wonderful asset. Don't even THINK of changing. It's what makes you so special. The "V" Dope will one day look back on all this and realize what a fool he was to let someone as genuine as you fall through his fingers, but it may not be for a very long time; after all, he has a LOT of growing up to do! Meanwhile, some great guy is gonna come along and grab you up so fast -- so beware!
Don't forget -- you have your nest to tend to, young lady!
