The next dating blog archive entry
A portion relating to the dating woes I was experiencing, let's go back to June 18, 2008:
I am a little frustrated at boys at the moment, I meet perfectly nice guys who I am prepared to 'date' for a little while and see where it goes, but for them I'm not right or something's missing. No attempt to see if it's possible nothing is wrong, just nerves about relationships and commitment etc. And lets not even talk about how frustrating communication, or lack thereof, can be! Sure, I'll find someone, but I'm an incredibly chatty, communicative, affectionate person with no-one to shower affection on at the moment, annoying.
Most of these guys I've met online, and I haven't even waded into the world of RSVP yet. I, along with so many other singles, have the whole 'but where am I going to meet someone?' conundrum. And I meet guys online, chat to them a bit, meet in person (ok, not many actually follow through with the in person bit), hit it off and then it kind of stalls. I am trying really hard not to push or crowd or anything, but I mean honestly boys!
This one guy M**, who I only met on the long weekend, we hit it off really well, spent 24hrs in each others company and had a great time, talked about loads of stuff, watched movies, played pool and then we have a big D&M over the phone at 2.30am on Tuesday night, I see him Wednesday and he tells me something's missing and that it won't work. But he still wants to hang out because I'm a great chick and he hasn't given up on me (which I did accuse him of) and that maybe he's just not going to do the relationship stuff any time soon. Hello world of mixed messages. See, boys are stupid.
Sure, I should just move on and find someone else, but right now there is no one else, so my attention flits back to M and still to C* occasionally (who I do still hang out with). Plus I've started reading a book M has loaned me and I have 2 of his DVDs to watch plus there's a movie he wants to show me and we'll have to watch together. And we like playing pool so will probably continue to do that too. Boys are Stupid.
See, I knew there was a reason I gave up on boys earlier this year! My brain only has so much thought space, and yes, I'm a girl and I can multitask but really, spending a morning working out who I should text and when and what I should ask or say?! I could be doing a whole bunch more work without boys on my mind.
But as I said, things aren't actually bad, I'm not actually unhappy, just had to have a bit of a vent because Girls are Weird, Boys are Stupid.
*Yes, I need to write up C's story, spoiler - he turns out to be an utter jerk
**M is an interesting story, if I can remember enough of it, but it ends with an explosive rant, you'll love it
