You'll Never Change A Free Bird

Ladies … don't ever fall in love with a free bird. It's not going to work out. He's not going to wine and dine you. He's not going to want to take time out of his schedule to get to know you. You won't be gushing about him to your girlfriends. Instead, you'll be venting and asking a whole bunch of "what the hell is his problem?"

Actually, as much as it may suck to hear this, it's not really his problem. (Unless he's jerked you around for months pretending to be serious … then he's just an asshole.) It usually goes as follows. You fall for this dreamy guy … the one that's just your type. At first he likes the attention, but as soon as you want something more, he'll go all "I'm not good in relationships" on you. You can huff and puff all you want, but he's probably being honest.

For some reason these men want to be unattached. They feel like they have to in order to accomplish something. Maybe they're selfish … or maybe they're just trying to save great women from getting their hopes crushed.

I've been there with these types of guys. They're not jerks, they just know what they want. And, to put it bluntly, it's not a woman. That doesn't mean you are any less than amazing … and he knows that. Trust. It's been said before, and I'll say it again, "Never give your all to someone who doesn't want it."

Now, if you prefer the Rock n' Roll version, Lynyrd Skynyrd said it best, even though it took about nine minutes to get it out (granted, an amazing guitar solo takes up some time). The lyrics read, "Cause I'm as free as a bird now … and this bird you cannot change."

But, here's the key. You must know the difference between the free birds and the ones who wouldn't mind being caged up with you once in a while.
