I am sitting here with my best friend, sipping on some hot cocoa and having great conversations about life and love. My mind is wandering because I have a few things that I want to write and add to my blog. It's a culmination of things that happened in the past and things that have been happening in the present and I feel like my head is going to explode if I dont put this down somewhere. Where do I begin? I am having a sudden writers block. Is it panic? Or is it the constant clicking coming from messages from my facebook account? Whatever it is, needs to leave my head because my heart wants to write.
Oh, here's one, today I got an email from a guy - I met him through the dating site. We exchanged a few emails back and forth and then it died. I didn't even remember who he was and had to ask him to refresh my memory. That's how significant those emails were. On to the story. He asked me if I was going to be home because he is headed to my neck of the woods. NOW - this is a mind boggler - guys, take note: WHY DO YOU ASK A WOMAN IF SHE IS AVAILABLE THE SAME DAY??? Have you any etiquette? Do you think that most single women sit around all day waiting for a phone call/email? And, if she were, why would you want to go out with that kind of a woman?? It really bothers me when someone asks me out last minute, it makes me feel so special. You know what else makes me feel special? The fact that he is already headed my way. It would be nice if someone was headed my way to see me, not because he will be in my neighborhood. Do not assume that women (in general) are available last minute, be a gentleman and ask in advance. Trust me on this.
Here's another. When you make plans to meet, SHOW UP. That's a good one. It seems easy enough, right? Not for some -- an hour before I was supposed to meet Mr. Wonderful, he text me a cancellation and listen to this, the text cancellation is just as lame as the excuse he gave me, which was: "I have had a headache since this afternoon and it's not going away, I unfortunately, have to cancel". Wow, why didnt he just say he had to shampoo his hair? Not even a call - a TEXT and he wasn't giving someone a CPR. How old are we? Because last time I checked, I am 31 years old. This guy is a little younger than I am but I gave him the benefit of the doubt, after all, he went to a good school and is in his last year of residency in Med School. So, I text him back and said, it's alright. An hour after, he called me and told me the truth which was, he was embarassed of his acne. I didn't know what to say after that. I felt a twinge of sympathy and relief that perhaps it was a good thing he didnt show up. After all, I didnt want to date a pre-pubescent boy. I see me now, handcuffed and headed to jail. No way.
So, advice number 2: Show up when you say are, acne and all. Stand by your words.
How about this line: "Hey, I'm visiting family and I'm leaving this Saturday, wanna meet tonight?" This line is classy. Any girl should meet up with someone who utters these very words. It's a sign of a great future to come. First of all, he is not even from here and probably just wants to be entertained for the night. Times like these call for places like, Escort services. Do NOT call me. Pay an escort service and get your moneys worth.
I may be single during the Holiday season when it seems the most depressing to be one. But, I tell you this, I would never trade the life I have for a median relationship. I have a full life and I savor every second of it. Everyday, I am honored to have the life that I have. I will never take these moments for granted because they are at the core of who I am. The events that happened in my life lead me to where I am and who I am now. I have nothing but appreciation for the road that lead me here.
