"So, what was your New Year's Resolution?"
"To meet one amazing person."
"That's really sweet."
"I know."
"You're lonely aren't you?"
Gulp. "Yeah."
"It's because your standards are too high."
Pause. "Maybe you're right. For once..."
Thanks Rick.
I'd say it's about that time. I'd say that I'm finally ready (after a year) to get involved with someone again. But I don't know how. I don't know how to meet people. I've never really been good at it. I miss having that connection with someone, and having someone to dote on and fuss over and call when I'm having a bad day. Or a good day.
Maybe it's just the guys I'm surrounded by all the time (restaraunt) but I'm starting to think that all guys are dogs and that there aren't many good guys out there. I really don't want to date anyone at work again. It can work out, but it's hard, and co-workers get really nosy too. Sometimes I think I am too picky, and that maybe I should just try dating someone that i'm not totally into just for the experience. And then there's the part of me that is really caught between wanting to slut myself out because it's easier that way and there's no emotion involved and the part of me that knows better and how I'm only fooling myself.
