I am not Desperate?
Well, it has been interesting, now that I have Face Book and have been going out it is really interesting to be single in the millennium. I am quickly finding out that really things have not changed so much besides communicating through social media and texting. I actually like it as it gives me the opportunity to know who really knows how to read and write. If I find some idiot who will instant message me "hey what's up girl?" "Give me a holler", I instantly know that this is probably someone I will not go out with and probably someone just for fun. My daughters were appalled that I have been accepting almost everyone's friend requests, but I told them, No, I check out who they know and if they are decent people that I know then I accept them, if they start with some nonsense I simply block. My theory is there is magic in numbers, remember I am a finance person, so the more I have out there eventually someone will stick. I believe that in the group of "bozos" there will be a "diamond in the rough".
I have made many new friends, taken up line dancing, and have been going out to concerts, hitting the bars of course my favorite spot. It's nice to know that there is a whole bunch of women like me out there single and dumped by some asshole. I don't know that it is really a good thing but I find that once they find out I am single they quickly befriend me and I take all offers. I am not at the point to be picky I want to do as much and see as much this is my opportunity to experience new things. I also have been so surprisingly amused that the men that try to hit on me are at least 10 years younger. This is my rule 10 under or over, I have no problem going out with anyone 10 years younger anything more would be too young, although I really do prefer older. I really don't run into men my age it appears that they are the ones going through the midlife crisis or are happily married. So being hit on the young guys has been a real ego boost and they are not trolls each one of these men have good jobs and are fit and so good looking. Well I have not gone out not even with one because all they want to do is hook up, which is, ok, but for some reason I am not interested. I am so happy to know that I have the luxury to be picky. I am not desperate; I only want to have fun.
There was this one man that I meet through Face Book and I swear he was messaging me his whole freakin life story, I would message a few things but we never really talked, well then one day I receive a "dissertation" on how he was already in love with me, really??? I was so appalled, I messaged him that he must be confused as I have never even spoke with him, and blocked him. I thought to myself what an idiot he must have been a scammer and then to my dismay to think that there are women who would actually fall for that bull shit. I go out with one of the "single" girls that I have recently befriended and she is my age, I see that she so desperately wants a man. She has dated so many men and all of them only stay about a month and dump her, well "duh" who would want someone so desperate. It is really sad, we went to "line dancing" class and there was a gentleman the first day that was on vacation, well by next class they already had hooked up. I thought myself "OMG" how you could be so desperate, he actually appears to be nice and is older so it may work out. Do not get me wrong, I really do like her; this woman is sweet and is a blonde bombshell so it is amazing that she does not know how great she really is and is so desperate. I hope that eventually she will realize her self-worth and find someone who deserves it. I have ran into more than one woman like this, and I want to shake them down and say, "what is wrong with you?" give yourself some time and value. So Thank my lucky stars I am not desperate, I am going to keep going out enjoying life and maybe one day I will find someone worthy enough to date!!! I only have to laugh.
