Freakin Weekend

I haven't blogged in a while. I don't think I am the only one who thinks blogging is a little pointless. Sometimes I feel that it is just a self serving way to get attention. But, some people have been asking for dating stories. Guess what?! I don't have any! If you know me, you know I have been out of work for the last two months. At this point, finding a job is my main focus. I have dabbled with dating. I had two scheduled dates last week. Guess how many dates I actually went on last week? NONE! Here's why.



I meet one guy online and we went out on a date two weeks ago. He was really nice and a great kisser. The problem was that he texted me constantly. When I didn't reply right away I would get second and third texts asking why I hadn't responded to the first text. This is a classic sign of controlling behavior. This is a technique used by men and women to fast track a relationship and create a false closeness that doesn't exist yet. Let's face it, after one 3 hour date you can't possibly know someone so well that you think it's ok to send text after text asking where are you, what are you doing. I am seeing this more and more. This is a warning sign and it should be taken seriously.



The second guy is an Army recruiter. He is a nice guy. Not a super good looking guy, but he had a nice personality, so I figured what the hell. We made plans a week in advance and I confirmed the date the day before. About an hour before I was supposed to meet him he told me that a bunch of other people were going to join us, including his sister. I went into a panic. I like people, I really do. I consider myself out going, but even I have my limits! I think it was pretty thoughtless of him not to tell me this information in advance. I politely bowed out of the date even though I was completely dressed and literally getting ready to leave the house when he texted (yes texted) me this information. My dream date does not include my dates sister.



I used to be the girl who would go out on a date just to get out and meet new people. Now I am the girl who would rather spend time with good friends and family. I had a fantastic weekend doing just that.
