I think I’ve been in the game for a good amount of time now && I think I’ve got the hang of it. Hahah. I pretty much know what to expect and have now had my fair share of both good and bad dating moments. I’ve also gone through the waves of “I don’t need a man ever” and “hey you, please fall in love with me? Kthanks,bye”.It’s been interesting haha. The last dating post scratched the surface of what it was like to be dating again. You can read it here if you haven’t yet.So what have I been up to since ? Well, I’ve fallen in like, fallen out of it, got my feelings hurt, hurt some feelings myself, had a lot of first dates without a second, && sometimes believe that It could be raining men and somehow, I’d still be single. But at the end of each day, I’m happy with where I’m at.Since I know if I was reading this, I’d want to read some IRL moments haha, so here we goo. Let’s start with the one and done guys.Sometimes things just, don’t click. Often times you’ll be able to tell whether you’re “clicking” or not haha. Like one time, I went on a date where I literally had to talk the entire time or we would have sat in silence. Like straight up, he maybe talked for 10 minutes out of a 1.5 hour date. Needless to say, we didn’t have as much in common as we thought. Bye byeeeee.Another guy kept loudly breathing out of his mouth and kept trying to slobber all over me. That was lovely. Thankfully, I was able to find an excuse to have him leave before he started mouth breathing again (do you know what I mean, or am I just sounding weird AF right now?).One time, this guy found evidence of a previous date I had, and it caught me so off guard when he pointed it out, there was no denying it. Hahahah. I have never been so embarrassed but, I don’t think I would have it any other way. It was hilarious looking back, and makes for a good story. Hahahahah. Sorry mom!! Not surprised he didn’t really make an effort after that.As for “falling in like”, (I’m not being all mushy gushy, it’s just my creative way of saying I liked(d) someone, don't get weird), it’s pretty cool when you meet someone & you both click. Conversations flow easy. Time doesn’t seem to drag. You aren’t checking your phone every ten seconds to check if the world has reached out yet. Hopefully, you’ll laugh a few times. You’ll enjoy yourself and leave with a smile. It’s refreshing to “click” .And as for the hurt feelings. Sometimes you just don’t know what you want and sometimes it’s hard to tell what the other person wants. Sometimes the other person has no clue what they want. And apparently knowing, is kinda important. Oh, and everyone has got their own definition of what “dating” is. Are you exclusive? Should you be? When the feels get too real, things can get a little tangled up when trying to figure it all out. Ya know? And at times, those entanglements can result in “falling out of like”. I need say no more.All in all, life is pretty damn awesome. I’m an independent, single lady who is proud of the decision she has made to be where she is today. Yes I’m speaking in third person, but whatever. Dating is fun and all , but at the end of each day, I know that I AM ENOUGH with or without a partner. And honestly, I believe that’s the #1 secret success in dating, YOU have to like yourself, preferably love yourself, before you can take others on.Hope you liked the update and the unasked for advice of my profound dating wisdom at the end. Hahahah.Much love,C
