There’s a reason why he’s so famous – have you seen that bod? That and the fact that he’s a damn fine soccer player too! He’s the Portuguese stud and National Team captain who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid. This week’s football hunk is the choice of Liezelthomas – Cristiano Ronaldo…

If tall, dark and handsome is your type or perhaps dreamy blue eyes is more your thing, then have no fear Celeb Obsessed is here. Below is a list of some guys that us girls just crave and love to drool over. Usually spotted all over Hollywood, today they are at your finger tips to do whatever your heart desires. I mean seriously there is no harm in looking, okay staring at these man candies!

First up we have a newlywed but let’s face it that does not change anything for us. Scarlett Johansson gets to call Ryan Reynolds her hubby, but a girl can still dream. We get to look but Mrs Ryan Reynolds gets to touch some girls just have all the luck…

Ok…so the “new cutie,” MJ, who I recently went out on a date with, turned out to be a dud.  His pockets may be padded a little because he is business savvy and co-owns a fashion line plus plays semi-pro basketball, but his maturity level and attention span suck (in plain words).

I guess I really shouldn’t be so surprised though considering the “kid” is 3 years younger than me! (I have a bad habit of calling men younger than me kids, especially when they act immature). I just didn’t expect his drama. I thought when you’re younger you have fewer life experiences so you would have less drama? Clearly that’s not the case because he’s shown me how childish he can act in response to a variety of different experiences.

The attention he gave me last week at the Patron/Maxim party was sweet, but I damn sure don’t need this boy getting all hyped and jealous when he saw me kiss another guy friend on the cheek as I said hello. Does this boy not know who I am?! I thought. I’m single and I network like crazy when I’m out…so of course I’m going to work the room and kiss cheeks and give hugs as I say hello to many of my friends within my social circle. I don’t need a man who’s going to aggressively question my actions  and act as if I just cheated on him. I guess his sweetness was really the tequila worm talking.

It seems like I’m back to square zero. I realize there can’t even be a square zero because that doesn’t make sense, but let’s face it…my dating habits DON’T make sense. Maybe I’m just in a relationship dry spell? Hell, I’ve even hit a dry patch with Nate these past two weeks. We’ve been seeing each other regularly for the past few weeks because of work (foolish lil’ me decided to forge a business relationship with him) and we’ve even hung out a few times at social events. The only thing we haven’t been doing much of is knockin’ our boots!

I know he’s seeing another girl “occasionally” as he says. He’s admitted to me that he likes her too. I’ve seen her picture pop up on his caller ID and she’s pretty…so I can understand. And for your information, NO – I wasn’t really snooping. I couldn’t help seeing what she looked like when his phone was buzzing in my ear one night at 5am while we were sleeping together in MY bed. I told Nate that I was getting a little frustrated with our two week hiatus. I suppose I needed to file a complaint to HR or something! This employee has NOT been satisfied, and the issue needs to be orgasmically rectified immediately.

So far I’ve been able to deal with the dwindling of our sexual relationship. I’ve come to expect our once a week bedroom trysts, but once every two weeks?! That’s just ridiculous. On Easter Sunday, Pam and I met up for brunch and chatted about our dating situations. She’s still going relatively strong with her boyfriend of 6 months, but with me? – I’m a whole different story I told her. We sat sipping on our endless refills of mimosas (all you can drink for $5!), and I explained to her how pitiful my “friendship/relationship” with Nate had become.

I know that it’s not professional to be making out when we’re in a business environment such as the “office” or on the street before a meeting, but my God – does he really need to give me high five’s or nudge me on the shoulder?! Can he be any more detached?! If you saw us, you would never have a clue that we’ve been sleeping together for the past eight months! In fact, this two week dry spell has been the longest we’ve ever gone without getting it on. It’s so annoying I told Pam.

Nate keeps saying he wants to spend quality alone time with me, and that he doesn’t look at me any differently than when we were “together,” but every time we have a day picked out to hang, he cancels last minute!

So what is it? Why can’t I seem to find a man with some “swagger” (charisma, flavor, a tight hustle game)? I know there isn’t a shortage of good guys out there…but it seems like all the hot ones who posses at least a few of the qualities I’m looking for, are players. Pam and I know that dating in the city can be a miserable process, especially when you’re on the hunt for a serious relationship. Which brings me to the question…am I really ready to find someone and settle down?

I’m I really ready to be “off the social scene” and chill out at home more with one man? It’s not like my social escapades around the city are getting men in my door, that’s not it at all. But if I quit going out, my network of people and resources will begin to shrink and then I won’t be able to get any work done. I’ve got bills to pay, and I need to figure out where my next pay check is coming from.

Pam thinks that I’m not really ready to settle down with one person. I argued that I would’ve settled down for Nate, but she thinks I would’ve been bored with him the instant he became a one woman man. Hmmm I’m not so sure about that, but sometimes I think she knows me better than myself – hehehe.  Maybe, just maybe if I was able to convince myself to kick Nate completely to the curb, I’d be able to truly open my eyes to meeting the right guy.

I have men swarming to be near me all the time, but frankly they’re not what I’m looking for or my parents wouldn’t be so keen on the relationship. Sometimes I think I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.
