I'm the type of person that has a "usual".
The type of person that on most any given day will go into a sandwich shop and get the "usual", my usual.
I like it somewhat plain, ordinary, but with a little twist about it. For example, I get the provolone instead of American and i like to tang it up with ranch, never mayo.
I like it that way, I crave it that way; but every once in awhile I stray. I think maybe if I add more spice, or take away some of the fattening parts I'll enjoy it more. I usually don't.
But at least I have something I can fall back on if my adventures in sandwichdom don't unfold to my liking. I have my usual. It is always there, and it always satisfies. I know what I like... in a sandwich.
So pardon the hysterics, but why can't relationships be the same way??
Shouldn't there be some system, something that I can use as a gauge, something usual-that I can pick? A series of parts and pieces one can put together, a special, a mainstay, a classic-your classic; a type.
Why is it that with every guy I am interested in or that comes into my life has a different kind of cheese? It might get boring, but maybe if there were only a couple cheeses to chose from, it'd be simpler to weed out the cheese we don't like.
My problem is that sometimes I think I know what I want in someone. Or I just accept that certain traits are inadmissible. In this shop I can't custom order. Not fair? Or is it?
Although I'd really like to be able to make my own , er sandwich, and eat it whenever I have the craving, it's completely unrealistic.
Have I mentioned I am an idealist?
I know what sandwich I like, I know my favorite color and what style of clothing looks best on me. I know that if I try too hard at something, I will fail and I know that I will always be more comfortable sleeping over at my place than yours..
So how come after over 20 boyfriends, 50 dates, and 3 serious relationships do I NOT know what I want in a man?

Perhaps you should think about trying your hand at journalism next, hon. This post was great. Very 'Sex in the City' style which of course I love.
for starters i agree with Gabrielle, and as for your post in general, following with the food references, dating is knowing what kind of food you like to eat, but there are a bunch of different restaurants that serve that kind of food, but restaurants make it slightly different. Sometimes the food is edible, sometimes you do not like the way its made, and sometimes you just fall in love with it and keep coming back.
I hope i haven't rambled too much
