Dating......or hanging out......and all the advice that comes with it.

Recently, I made some changes in my life.

Let's just say I reprioritized my list of priorities.

In doing so, I decided I needed a little fun, a little bit of a love life.

So first I looked around and realized that my surroundings are extremely limited as a selection.

Sooooo I have done a few things....

1. Checked out the dating websites. 4 of them. Reminded me of shopping on eBay. I plugged in my "deal breakers" aka can't be a smoker (yuck!), can't be currently involved in a relationship (based on my evaluation, not his. If his profile pic is him and his ex, he's still in a relationship), can't live far away (I don't do long distance. I'm not going anywhere.)

Then I plug in what I'm looking for: I want someone who is funny and makes me laugh. I want a man who knows how to be a gentlemen and can handle no, wait.....dig that I'm a successful woman. I want a man who's passionate about something.....anything. His work. Baseball. I don't care as long as he cares about something! Well, I guess there could be deal breakers such as if he was passionate about serial killers or weed, I'd probably have a issue with that.

Okay so then all these men pop up.....and it's hilarious.

One said "looking for a woman 18-22." He was 42. Sicko.

One said: "I'm looking for the girl of my dreams who looks good in an apron naked". Wtf????

Yeah, maybe this isn't working for this sassy girl......

And everybody has something to say about it .

And honestly, I don't want to hear it.

More on this part in another post....

So the end result, as of today????? Frustrated.

I want those butterflies, that giddy feeling, the romance, the passion, the witty banter, the talks that make me giggle.

I want to go for walks and go to a movie and go out to lunch in the middle of the work day.

I want a man to actually ask me to go somewhere and not ask me like this "we should go to Applebee's for a drink"........wtf does that mean? Now? Later? Asking me or telling me? No idea.

Or my favorite.... "we should hang out".....what am I your college roommate? Your co worker? Your cousin? Omg

No thank you.

This grown up stuff is hard.
