Girls Don't Like Boys

Girls like cars and money. Or so the song goes.
I will never, ever forget being out with my boyfriend at the time.
I should have listened to what my joke was telling me.
We were out bowling. It was myself, my B/F at the time (Dave) and another couple.
It was a Sunday nite, all you can bowl extravaganza! It was $5 for the night plus $2.50 for the shoes. Talk about a cheap date!
There was a song that came on and we all laughed at the video that played in the screen above us. It was something about someone's mom. Volvo driving or otherwise. The next song that hit the waves was Girls Don't Like Boys, Girls Like Cars and Money to which my boyfriend said, "It's so true".
Well, maybe it is true. I am sure there are a lot of you out there who are dating someone because of the nice stuff he buys you, or the dinners he takes you to or the way you feel in his flashy car with the top down and everyone staring at you as though you were a movie star. (Let's be honest, if I could find that, I'd milk it for at least a month. Okay 2...years...)
However, Dave was not one of those guys. So I appropriately replied: "Yes Dave, I am with you for your EI cheque and your [10 year old] Purple Accent."
Looking back, that should have been a warning sign and maybe even a deal breaker.

PS - the guy I am currenlty dating? No vehicle. No cheque...not even EI!!
