Dating again
It's been a while since I have really mentioned my dating situation. Heck, what dating situation? Maybe that's why.
Let's face it, I'm no energizer kripsie. There comes a point at some time where I have to say ok enough. Enough effort, enough bad dates, enough complaining. I took a vacation, went to the gym, slept a lot, watched some pretty good tv, looked at some condos, and hung out with my parents. I mean maybe it wasn't the best way to spend my summer vacation, but whatevs, it happened. I met absolutely no one, went on zero dates, and pretty much kept to myself.
So now, people are asking if I'm seeing anyone (no), if I'm 'dating' (nope), if I met anyone (not yet) and well it's starting to get annoying again. Annoying enough that I've actually decided to do something about it. I'm back out there. I'm coming back with a vengeance but only cause I've learned a couple of things:
1) You have to listen to 'fate'. There is this thing out there, and if you listen to it, sometimes it just helps. If something is going to happen, those stars will align and you will meet and it will be fun and it'll be great. Sometimes, fate steps in (and here is where you must listen) and prevent everything from happening.
3) You can meet people anywhere. I have truly met boys in a variety of situations. Temple camp (that was my fav!), Stevens, 46 Grand, Phila, Friendster, bbqs. So, although going out is fun and all, it's not the only location for me (or you) to meet someone. I have come to realize I need to get more interests, maybe more friends? I've also decided to volunteer. Maybe I can meet a fun do-gooder while improving my karma. Score.
Wish me luck!

For example: Say you like this boy and this boy just happened to live in Baltimore. Hey, great you might be there for work! We should meet up! You get all excited, prepare your speech, let the boy know this might be going down. Then work calls, "Sorry trip to Baltimore is canceled." Dang, ok next time. Then you plan to meet up sometime later. Yes! Get the speech back out, let's practice. Then boy calls, "Sorry I just got promoted at work, can't make it after all" Uhh sersious? Dang. When this unfortunate pattern continues, it's probably fate preventing a bad situation. It's not the right time! Back off.2) I look dang young. So young that most boys my age (um I'm old) or older don't look my way. This explains the great mystery of '05 where every single boy that liked me was 23. They think I'm 21!! It's so sweet, but unfortunately NOT TRUE. The thing is, I don't want to be 21. I was dumb at 21 and would make out with ya if you wanted (ok joke). I'm in my later 20's now. I have goals, I have a career, heck I have a bank account. People that are 21-24 are usually vastly different from people 25-30. It's true baby. So what do I do? I guess blog about it until the entire world finds out I am really 26.
