Perfectly Acceptable Ashley

It's very acceptable:
  • to be a little scurrred when you're sitting next to man reading a magazine about guns and killing deer (on a plane). So what, is there a rifle in your checked luggage? And why you gotta kill Bambi? There are other "sports" to take up...I hear cricket is a nice one to play, where you're not SHOOTING THINGS.

  • to have an "awwwww" moment when a 7-year-old boy starts talking about the functions of important body parts, elaborating that "brains are for remembering things and hearts are for loving somebody." I wasn't gonna correct him. :)

  • to be true to your heart and not date the guy mentioned in the last Perfectly Acceptable Ashley. Because after a few dates, it wasn't right. Although said guy may make a good friend, it's always acceptable to go with that innermost, almost-primal gut instinct. Because the old adage, "you know when you know" works both ways. You also know when it's a NO.

  1. Go with your gut! ABSOLUTELY. Relationships are difficult enough when he IS the right guy. When he isn't they're just nearly impossible!!

  8. I agree with Fashion Butter. ALWAYS go with your gut. I've not done that and the guys always ended up being douchey.

  12. YES. YES YES YES. That is all ;)

    No, but on the last point, seriously. Big yes. It's disappointing sometimes, sure, but it's better to hold out and wait until you meet somebody who does tick all the boxes for you. Metaphorical boxes. Might be weird if you actually gave him a form with boxes to tick.
