Gah, It's been a while since my last post. Sorry about that.
I think the number one thing singles think about is dating. Who to date, worrying about rejection, whether or not it will work out, things like that. We think about all sorts of thing when we're not in relationships.
Fear of rejection is usually one of my bigger problems. Its sometimes hard to get over that, and work up the courage to ask someone out. But it is awesome when it works out. Usually. Bad dates are not fun. I've been on a couple. Once I went to a play with a girl, and there was a mix-up with the tickets. She sat two rows in front of me. Lame, right? But it made a funny story for later.
Someone has told me that I plan out the whole relationship in my head before it really starts, and that is pretty true. I'm learning not to, and to just take everything as it comes. I think that's part of maturity.
Dating is sometimes hard work. You put a lot of time and money in to it, then things can go sour. It can lead to some hurt feelings. I prefer to try and keep things on a friendly level after a break up. Sometimes ;-)
Anyway..share some stories about your dating life. The good, bad, and ugly.

Dating life? What's that?
ReplyDeleteOh, is that the three free dinners I got last year? Huh. I wondered what those were.
Yeah, the "someone" is me. Randy, I tell him, for every guy like you waffling around waiting for the right moment, or until they're sure, or until the daydream in their head comes true, there's at least three fantastic girls sitting around every weekend wondering what is wrong with them.
Men, DO YOUR DUTY!
(For my critics, 2 out of the three dates I did the asking)
Ok, I'm not exactly sure who Goosey is, but I have an idea. Anyway, I'd like to comment to her: If you did the asking, why'd he do the paying?
ReplyDeleteAnd to Randy: My advice (and this comes from personal experience) is to stop thinking about dating altogether. Focus more on your relationship with God and He'll send the right person at exactly the right time. Love you, bro.
Goosey: Heh, good points. You always give great advice, and I appreciate it a lot.
ReplyDeleteAngela: Thanks for that. This whole blog is really just my thoughts about different things. I just wanted to talk about dating. And start a discussion among whoever reads this about it.
So to those who have read,and like what I've brought up so far, what topics do you want to talk about?
Angela: I'm not who you think I am, and I never ask a guy out without being prepared to pay, but if he offers, I accept. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd quitting dating altogether doesn't always work. I know.
