Dating sucks, and I suck at it.
You know what? I SUCK at dating. I suck at relationships, too. I suck at singing, I suck at dancing, I SUCK AT EVERYTHING ;)!
Except sucking.
Wait, I lied.
I suck at sucking, too.
Oh, I did NOT just say that! Too much information, either way.
Anyway, I never know what to say on dates. If I don't say much about myself, I seem ice cold, reserved, and unreceptive. If I DO decide to talk about myself, I seem full of myself and conceited. There may be a balance in between, but I have yet to discover it.
I also suck at showing people I'm into them. If I'm all over someone, I will seem obsessive and clingy. If I'm standoffish, I will seem uninterested. I think persons of interest really have no idea that I like them when I do, because I barely show it. I expect them to pull the first move of affection, and if I like them, I will reciprocate equally. In order for me to reciprocate more than equally, I have to REALLY know they're into me.
For some reason, I always think no one is going to be into me. I mean, I don't see what's so special. To make up for my supposed lack of the interesting factor, I think of every funny story I've ever heard/witnessed. This makes me seem like I'm rambling on nonstop about nothing, even if it makes me amusing. It also may make me seem like I'm talking about myself entirely too much, since many of my funny stories revolve around me. I also sometimes state random facts about myself to show them I'm interesting, and it makes me look like I'm bragging.
During dates, I often feel as if I have something to prove. Like I should show them some special talent, or neat skill, that will make me worthy of seeing again. Like showing them I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue or my uncanny ability to imitate accents and other peoples' voices. What else makes me interesting? Hmmmm. One of my eyes is greener than the other. Sometimes I'll point this out, if I feel I'm not being interesting enough. This also demands, "Look in my eyes! You HAVE to now!" Oh, a perfect scheme. Ladies, you all should try it.
Anyway, dating sucks. But not dating sucks as much as dating does. I hate the word "date". Whenever I have a "date" arranged, I always want to just call it hanging out, cancel the fancy restaurant plans, and meet at Starbucks. Then, we could walk around DC, and just have a good time, as opposed to all the pressure dates ensue.
