The Great Dating Experiment

My Perfect Match...

Hello blog friends!  It's been a crazy few weeks of dating.  I think I've been on at least a date a week for the past month...all different guys.  None of them ended up being for me.  But never fear...I have a plan.  What is this master plan you may ask?  Read on...

I am going to really concentrate on My Perfect Match...Me!  I think it's time to really appreciate myself, my beauty, my humor, my overall "awesomeness".  I think sometimes we get so busy looking for the perfect relationship outside of ourselves, we can forget to love the most important person...ourselves. 

With this in mind, I'm embarking on great relationship with a super redhead, with a great smile, fun wit, and a fabulous shoe collection.  I'm doing my hair the way I want...getting the dog I want...working out when I want...and loving...ME! 

I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship :)  And if a guy comes along and wants to join me...it'll be nice company...but not what defines me.  Thank goodness!

Why is it...?

Good evening blog friends! Today turned out to be a little rough after my date from last night sent me the "not interested" in a second date text. I find that the guys I do like tend to have no interest... And the guys I don't like are way into me. Let's discuss.

Being in sales, the one thing you learn is never to appear desperate for someone's business. I wonder if the same theory applies to dating? In my experience, the less interest I show in a guy the more he pursues me. As soon as I'm all in, or even a little in, they're running for the hills.

Perhaps what men want is indeed the chase. Unfortunately, I have a hard time hiding my feelings if they're genuine. I'm interested in feedback on this one... Will the "right" guy just like me no matter what? No games??

Pondering it all tonight...excited for turkey in just a few days :). Until we meet again.

I am someone who is looking for real love...

 Carrie's speech really speaks to me, and I'm sure, to many of you.  Good luck in the search for real love...it's out there! 

Interested?

Good evening blog readers! So this is my first post via iPad - very exciting :). Tonight's topic is level of interest in relationships. I'm no expert, so comments are encouraged.

As mentioned in an earlier post I was dating a guy we'll call "A". After a bit of ghosting out I finally realized...he may not be that into me. This was shocking... And like any "normal" gal I came up with excuse after excuse as to why "A" wasn't getting back to me. He had to still be interested...right?

Fast forward to last week. I'm out with a guy who us lovely, polite, handsome...and compliments are flying out of him. We'll call him "D". He texts me everyday, even if it's just to say "hi". So it's easy to see he's interested. Now, here's the strange part...

When "A" was not communicating and making me nuts, it seemed normal. Now when "D" is paying so much attention it seems off. Have I just been blinded by the games? Do nice guys really finish last?

I'm going out with "D" again this week, so he's still a prospect. We'll see if this whole nice thing can catch on :)

Sweet dreams friends - and be NICE to one another!
