So I stuck my proverbial foot into the online dating site waters to see if the pool of potential applicants might be better suited for a gal like myself. I am finding, however, that a) a great deal of people I know in real life are on these sites and a binding verbal agreement is quickly made not to reveal to outside sources that our paths have crossed in this way, and b) I am a LOT more incompatible than I had previously given myself credit for. This is not to say that I think I am undateable, on the contrary I think I am quite the catch bearing in mind I have my fair share of human inadequacies and inconsistencies, but for the average "nice guy," twenty/early thirty something, Christian man, I am a dating outlier on the bell curve of future wife potential. Maybe because I use math terminology as a metaphor for dating... In any event it's been an interesting social, or quasi social as it were, experiment. I am trying to reconcile what I know to be true about myself with some brilliantly, callously planted mind bombs certain men I once trusted methodically tucked inside my brain regarding my shortcomings as a person. It's amazing how powerful just a few words can be.
All that being said, I'm really excited about what God is up to. I took some steps out on my own in faith and I think He is rewarding my courage. I started volunteering with an amazing organization I have wanted to partner with for several years, and I planned a mini break next month to Puerto Rico to visit one of my favorite old friends.
I think I may be on the cusp of becoming a grownup.
