I have been out of the dating game for a while now. I called myself, "taking time out to figure out what I want". I guess I took a vacation because it's been a long time since I dated. I am not getting any younger either lol.
I wanted to take time out because I kept getting losers on my dates. I want more than that and I deserve a whole lot more. I just got tired and said forget it! Now I'm wanting to date again and possibly settle down and kids after marriage. I am very patience and that has gotten in the way of me dating. If I'm not feeling that person I just say forget it but I know I have to be better than that. I guess that's not patience after all..lol. My mom and my friends all tell me I NEED someone and "don't waste your life enjoy yourself". They're probably just tired of me lol.
Ok, I'm not gonna lie. I do want someone but I'm afraid of getting hurt. I've let my guard down before and it wasn't good. People can take advantage of a kind heart. I know I have to look pass that and take a chance. I've actually learned from it. I don't regret any of my past relationships or anyone I've dated because I've learned from it.
So, I'm gonna take things slow and try this dating thing again I guess...sigh...errr.
Wish me luck. :/
I'm so glad that you are AWARE of what YOU DESERVE, a lot of people (men & women) aren't. But, the fact of the matter is, in all relationships there WILL be hurt. As the saying goes, "...you just have to find the person worth suffering for." There will be times when you, yourself, may do the hurting (maybe unintentional), but it will happen-it's a fact of life.

I wish you a lot luck. Dating is a real adventure now a days. For me I use the second date as my live or let die. PS use phone calls before the first date and not texts. Phone conversations will weed out the garbage.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's true. Everyone wants to text these days. By talking on the phone you get to know the person's personality better.
DeleteDont take less than you deserve! Never sell yourself short. Be real and true to your heart:)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Always! :)
DeleteThe good thing about taking the time off is that you found out what you really wanted, and most importantly what you deserve. When the time is right you will find your true love.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone :-)
ReplyDeleteTime is a virtue ..sometimes thats all you need just remember theres somebody for everybody he will come when you least expect it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGirl, I have waited 27 years for the man I have, my first boyfriend, my first love and I used to wonder when it was going to happen but now that it has, it was absolutely worth the wait. Hang in there, the best is yet to come, trust me.
