I have been following my old (from high school) friend's blog....Life After My Twenties.....and she has recently been writing about dating. Brooke, who we all know and love, made a comment on her blog about the difference between dating in the younger years...teens and early 20s....and the not so young years...late twenties and 30s...and beyond I suppose. She said that it must be different because you have a better idea of what you want when you are older, whereas those that date and even get married when they are younger sometimes make poor choices. That sounds familiar! Anyway, I was thinking about it and I realized that with the experience, I became wiser, smarter and pickier. The problem is that I am a little wiser (I know a lot more about myself and men in general), a little smarter (but I still do stupid things in dating), and A LOT pickier. Great guys are suddenly OK and OK guys are losers.
It's like I find myself spouting out "pass" before the cards have all been dealt, and quite honestly, it's like I find myself not even willing to play because I just don't feel like checking out my hand.
I'm beginning to realize that this could all be due to the fact that there are people in my life right now who are satisfying my current needs. Perhaps I should take a closer look at them...

LOL...I wonder who those people are....hmmmmm????
I love, love, love that we can all help each other and connect through our blogs. I know what you are saying about dating and all of it. and I have just been saying "fuck it" and trying on people for size. I know it sounds bad, but you know what I mean.
I am pickier, I am smarter, I am less concerned about the opinions of men in general, but I figure if I dont jump I'll never stop peeking over the edge and all the good shit below!
We are awesome women - cheers to us and finding men that are worthy! :)
and........I have to say yes, I did MATCH for like 2 days and that is how I met Cameron. But, I cancelled my account. I think its a great thing if you are really really ready to meet someone and fall in love again, people are truly serious about dating on that site and I am just a little too wishy washy (committment issues hello!) to continue on with it.
I met the most recent guy, who I TOTALLY click with on myspace, no lie. I know, I know I have made fun of people for doing it, but Gods honest truth I just found him on there one day and emailed me him out of the blue!
He said he loved that I did and we both now feel like maybe God had a hand in brining us together, even if we dont end up in love, we really get along and enjoy each others company.
I think I finally opened my mind and my heart to the idea of meeting someone, anyone, I mean friends even! I have been very closed off for a long time and Ive broken out.
You are beautiful, intelligent, sefl assured, and you shouldnt have any issue meeting someone, just check yourself and see if you are really open to it? Thats what I feel I did to get the ball rolling.
