Small Demands of the Working Man

A sad truth (of which I’m guilty of) is … we men are more interested in work than fixing relationships — really. It’s not that we don’t love our paramours, it’s just that, when there’s a workload, expect that “the big date” will always fall upon the tail end of that.

I mean, most of us men are … finishers. We get the job done. We know that, distraction’s a letter away from destruction. If there’s one thing a man has, it’s the passion for what he does — and when I say passion, it borders on obsessing to the point that it gets the job done. We here at The Big Life (okay, so that’s just me) believe in a well-rounded life — gadgets, music, photography and traveling’s part of the lifestyle — what’s behind that is the life, the relationships and the personal things. So, taking a break from the usual, are the demands of the working man.

Now that us (the working man) has taken your heart hostage, here’s our demands:

Believe us when we say we’re busy with work. No, no, we’re not playing hooky. It’s just a coincidence that our business partners asked us for a drink after a long meeting. Plus, it doesn’t always end like that.

Believe us when we say we’re not allowed to hit on clients/officemates. So if, on our date, a pretty girl greets us, and we say it’s just a girl from work — it ends there. Not only is it unprofessional, but we don’t plan on starting up some office gossip to lose you.

Surprise us with a lunchtime or afternoon office visit. We really, really appreciate this. We may be engrossed with work, but a surprise visit really eases our minds.

Snatch our hearts in return. We understand that you’re pretty busy too, and that we can become selfish at times. Love us and we’ll do the same — though, reminding each other of priorities for the greater good is a plus.
