I've never been good at dating.
I'm really bad at it actually.
Which is kind of weird because I make my living being good at talking to people.
But, I digress.
I've never been that girl who would go out with a man simply to get a free meal or experience.
I value and respect people too much.
I would estimate that for my age (31)(holy crapballs) I've dated quite a bit less than the rest of the population.
Probably because I don't enjoy doing things I'm bad at.
You know how most men and women are on their best behavior when they first go out with someone?
Always putting their best foot forward and not letting anything negative about themselves slip until at least a couple months down the road when the other party likes the good things so much they'll tend to overlook the bad things?
Yeahhhhhhhh.....I hate that.
So I tend to let some negative things about myself drop on the first date.
Is it the smartest thing?
If I wanted a fake relationship and free food, probably not.
But like I said, I value and respect people too much.
Along making my living being good at talking to people, part of my job is to read people. I can pick up on verbal and non-verbal cues that a lot of people can't, and for that reason I see things and sense things that might not otherwise be detected by someone else.
That being said, if I can tell the other party isn't on board, or I'm not on board I won't continue just for the sake of continuing. Again, value and respect.
But, I do have some pretty funny dating stories.
And I figured since my blog is all about being single I should take this opportunity to share some of them with y'all.
So, every Friday I'm going to share one with you. Because what would the title of this blog mean unless I threw something like this in the mix?! And what kind of person would I be if I didn't find the humor in these situations? (A boring one is the right answer.)
So, I'll be back next Friday with my first story! Don't forget to buckle your seat belts.
