Feeling Great Expectations Is the First Step to Meeting Fun People
For one, I couldn’t characterize myself as pleasantly satisfied being picky and be 100% truthful. However, I’m not unsatisfied about it, either. I just bring it up here as an ear-catching little tidbit foreshadowing what I will shortly reveal to you
This time last week I met for coffee with Corey, considering buying a membership to a dating service for Phoenix singles. Now, I type to my readers as a fully satisfied member of the dating service. Totally, I am. It’s great! If you have read my old blog, perhaps you’re thinkin’, “Stop blabbering and tell me about it already.”
So, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for the serious singles who care enough to know dating isn’t a game.
‘Cause I’d never enjoyed or even tolerated whatever it is that most people have christened “Dating.” I faced it all the time. Day and night they ask, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “You should date!”
“Ugh, and double ugh.” I say to them, and playfully so. “There’s nothing to date!”
“You’re as ridiculous as you are hilarious,” they level with me. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”
Thankfully, that’s my sister (on a good day) (hehe) Trisha McCarthy. She offers rational thought to my brain 99% of the time. People you can trust . She made a good point, and I joined.
Back to the message of this blog entry. As I browsed from hundreds of combinations of outfits for my first singles event with Great Expectations, a revelation hit me deep. Over the last year, I hadn’t allowed myself any literal great expectations for dating in the fun-filled path of being human. Being single isn’t so bad, only if you use the freedom to date. Holding great expectations does wonders for a caring soul.
