The Oddest Thing She's Ever Said

Confession time: I love this song. Like, LOVE this song. 

“Suit And Tie” is like daydream candy porn for women, and I am addicted. It plants the seed and then makes us imagine the sort of guy who would pull out his best suit and tie and surprise us by taking us out on a night on the town. 

Let me list the parts of this fantasy that surprise and charm us:

1.) Most women own “dress up” clothing. I myself own about 4 full-length dresses that I have only worn once or twice or never because they are so ridiculously fancy that the only thing they’re really good for are weddings, polo matches that I never seem to get invited to, or lending them to my cousin for prom. But I still own them. And I jump at a chance to wear them. Most men, however, don’t really own “dress up” clothing. So if a guy has a perfectly tailored suit or tux hidden away somewhere that he unearths for my viewing enjoyment…that’s special.

2.) People don’t go out dancing anymore. Not at like, a nice, upscale, swanky jazz or music club that has a dance floor and live band and doesn’t condone dropping it like it’s hot. What’s up with that? I mean, I can’t waltz, but I would be willing to try. Salsa? Yes, PLEASE. Muy caliente! I love dancing. And if a guy can clean it up on the dance floor? You have just become hotter than Ryan Gosling shirtless, my friend.

3.) The surprise element. What woman doesn’t like surprises? REALLY.

4.) Forethought and planning. I’ll admit it— I’m kind of a half-assed planner. Either I go gung-ho and full-out plot out every last detail, or I just fly by the seat of my pants. Because of this, my relationships tend to look something like this: casual, casual, casual, PLANS!, casual, casual, casual, PLANS!. But not matter how fun the outcome of the planning can be, making all those plans can be draining and exhausting. (Have YOU ever had a plan a spur-of-the-moment weekend getaway in under 3 hours?) So, sometimes, It’s really nice when someone ELSE does all the planning and legwork for you, and you just get to be along for the nice ride they’ve so thoughtfully planned for you.

5.) Sometimes, we ladies love to be shown off. In the day and age of casual dating where the title “girlfriend” has kind of died a slow and painful death in favor of loosey-goosey “friends with benefits” arrangements, it’s rare and special when a guy wants to show you off on his arm as his girl. That’s “His Girl.” Singular. Possessive noun.

Basically, sometimes, all we want is a swanky, well-dressed surprise. And the gent who can come up with that…well, he’s a keeper. We love thinking about who would fit the bill and love us enough to deliver.

…and now I’m wet.
