     When I was a small child, my favorite movie was Grease (to this day, my dream man will dress as Danny Zuko and I'll be Sandy for Halloween). I thought that once I got to high school my life would turn into a musical as well and my friends and I would sing and dance to all of our joys and sorrows (probably what kids today think after seeing High School Musical--I've never seen it, although, I'll be the first to admit, I'd probably love it). Needless to say that did not happen. Sad, because I'd totally love a life like that, but probably a good thing too because I cannot carry a tune nor do I have the beat of the feet.
     However, when they make the musical of my life, I think that each dude that comes in and out of my life will be defined by songs by my girl Shania Twain. Know these are extremely limited as I dated someone for five years. Here we are:

My dad and my Junior High/Early High School boyfriends: "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under" Cheaters.

My High School crush: "That Don't Impress Me Much" I was so in love with this boy. He's a total d-bag. Extremely vain. I don't know what I was thinking, but as I've said before a decent looking dark-haired man with a voice and/or an instrument can cloud my judgement.

My End of High School/College boyfriend: "Any Man of Mine" Wonderful person. Terrible boyfriend. Not really a man of mine--didn't make the earthquake nor was he very proud to show me off...or have anything to do with me, really, unless I told him to. Beautiful, beautiful person, though."Any Man of Mine" can encompass even more dudes I think. Generally, because there tend to be two kinds of guys: those that are "earthquakin'"--have the passion part down, things are exciting and new, but at the end of the day, we have little in common--and those that know "how the story goes"--I have so many things in common with them, we have great conversation and fun together, but that gets boring without a little spice. I don't want to date the male version of myself. 

The One that Got Away (because I was dating the Any Man of Mine Dude): "I'm Gonna Getcha Good"--I wish. I wish I'd had the balls to go after this guy. I think I could've got him good.

Recent and Over crush: "If You're not in It for Love (I'm Outta Here)" Self explanatory. I want to fall in love. 

I'd also use the song "Don't Be Stupid" to encompass men far and wide, not because of the actual lyrics of the song "Don't be stupid, you know I love you," but because just plain don't be stupid. If you like a girl, talk to her. How bad can it be? Additionally, if a girl says she's not interested, don't be stupid. Don't push it. Back off, let it go for a while. There are many other reasons people act stupid in relationships, those are just my most recent examples.
