Fun in Dating: Realize Great Expectations Forever
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
I couldn’t characterize myself as downright comfortable as an “independent” (aka: naturally single) person and be 100% truthful. Even then, I’m not unsatisfied about it, either. I just mention it in this blog as a delicious detail foreshadowing what I am prepared to reveal to you
A week ago today I was talking to Corey, considering joining Great Expectations Dallas. You prolly couldn’t guess that, I write to each of you as a delightfully single member of the singles network. No kidding, it’s true. It’s full of fun, attractive people! If you’ve been paying attention, you’re probably thinking, “You totally owe me an explanation.”
Well, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and liked what I saw. They’re for quality and professional singles who think dating should have a point.
Because in all honesty I’d never been a fan of whatever it is that serial daters (ie: everyone I know) have christened “dating.” I got it more than anyone should. Each night they pester, “Are you two serious yet?” and “Please tell me you two are dating.”
“Baloney!” I reply, and playfully so. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”
“Don’t be silly,” they say. “That’s just an excuse for your cynicism.”
That’s just my best friend (she’s the best)
Trisha Feldman. She beams common sense directly to my core 99% of the time. Loved ones you can trust to offer perspective. She made a good point, and I thank her for it.
Coming home to the message of this blog entry. As I selected from more than three hundred outfits (hah) and desirable, honest singles for my first Great Expectations date, something occurred to me that was quite true. Over the last year, I hadn’t held any emotional great expectations for dating and myself in the fun-filled path of life. Being single isn’t so bad, specifically if you take the opportunity to meet new people. Embracing your own great expectations makes a difference for those who believe.
