I keep telling myself this and I hope someday it holds true: "I'm a good catch." It's a little pep talk I give myself when I feel blah about the dating scene. Mom keeps telling me I'm not playing the game correctly, that I'm not sophisticated enough to attract a nice guy. Damn, Mom.
Yeah, it's about that time--I've been home since Saturday, and 5 days is just enough for them to start their criticizing. Tonight I felt like I was a caged animal at the zoo and my parents were poking at me, teasing me, just trying to rile me up. Dana was over because he'd gone with us to furniture shop at the Goodwills earlier this evening. He knew they were bugging me, so he stopped talking. It's just my parents keep telling me how weird I am and "no wonder you can't attract a decent man." Was funny at first, but then it just hurt my feelings.
Looks like this will be another lame New Year's.
I hear girls gripe all the time about men who don't call like they say they're going to...and well, before now it's never happened to me. Yeah, it sucks.
