Dating Made to Edify Spirit
Now, I couldn’t characterize myself as pleasantly satisfied being bored with most men (who isn’t?) and remain an honest woman. Even then, I’m not unsatisfied in that way, either. I merely mention it on the blogosphere as a delicious little tidbit setting up the story I will shortly discuss honestly.
This time last week yours truly met for coffee with Trisha, pondering about joining Great Expectations Dallas. Now, I sit to my readers as a surprisingly pleased member of the dating service. For real, and I almost don’t believe it myself! It’s full of fun, attractive people! If you know me at all, perhaps you’re thinkin’, “You totally owe me an explanation.”
So, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and liked what I saw. They’re for the honest singles who think dating isn’t a game.
Because I’d never been interested in this silly social phenomenon most people have named “dating.” I heard it more than anyone should. Day and night friends nagg, “You’re still single? ” and “Just get out there and date him!”
“That’s rubbish,” I reply, smiling ear to ear. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”
“Whatever doofus,” they say. “That’s just an excuse for your cynicism.”
That’s just my sister (she’s the best) (hehe) Sandy Wilson. She beams rational thought to my brain 99% of the time. Caring souls never fail for fresh advice. No countering that, and I joined.
Coming home to the theme of this post. As I browsed from hundreds of combinations of outfits for my first singles event with Great Expectations, something occurred to me that was quite true. For the longest time, I hadn’t allowed myself the greatest of literal great expectations for dating and myself in the fun-filled journey of being human. Being single isn’t so bad, especially if you take the opportunity to meet new people. Embracing your own great expectations makes a difference for those who believe.
