Sounds like the ideal house right, even if you’re ready to buy and sign on the dotted line, it means nothing if the seller isn’t ready to sell. No matter how much you paint, change or remodel the ins and outs of this home, at the end of the day it’s still a brick house.

Well, a brick house is kind of like a man. No matter how much you have to offer and no matter how much you’re willing to invest on improvements, if a man is not ready to settle down and welcome you into his castle, then you can’t force him.

Let me set-up the typical scenario: The Investment

You helped him through school- driving him to and from class, buying him food, cooking for him, helping him with his homework, being his academic counselor/advisor/tutor, etc.

You helped him get his job- motivating him before interviews, soliciting the prayer warriors, editing his resume, picking out his suit, helping him network.

You introduced him to the finer things in life- traveling, fine dining, lounges, clothing other than basketball shorts and t-shirts.

You introduced him to your family, helped him get his own place and decorate it, helped him organize his finance, and I could go on and on.

Finally, after all this, when you decide that it’s time to take things to the next level he decides that he is not ready for a serious relationship. This usually comes as a shock and requires you to play Beyoncé’s “Ring the Alarm” or “Irreplaceable”, but otherwise it’s on to the next one. A few months later you hear that he is getting married to this chick he met two days ago, who wouldn’t have given him the time of day before your investment accrued.

And why does it have to be like this you ask? He’s a MAN. I have learned that no matter how perfect you may be for a man, if he’s not ready to settle down and make you his queen, you can’t force him. When a man gets to that mature stage in his life, where he is ready to leave his single ways behind, whoever is there at that point in time, will usually get him. She doesn’t have to be the smartest or the prettiest, she just has to be there.

So ladies, no matter how much you try to change a BRICK HOUSE, at the end of the day it’s just that, a BRICK HOUSE. A man will settle down when he’s ready!! So, until that time don’t settle for less, and show that man what he missed when he passed over your bid. Hell, start finding some investors for your own personal mansion. LOL.


Keep it Real Family…
