Since renewing my friendship with Romeo, it's made me more open to the opposite sex. But not really. I enjoy the comforts of our friendship and the trust we have, which is something a normal person has to earn. That will not be easy for Mr. Next Guy. And no, I know everyone suggests Romeo and I should rekindle...it's not an option.
My dilemma is I don't see the point. I don't want to stay in North Carolina under ANY circumstances. If I could find an out now, I would. So, for someone who isn't into dating and for someone who does not want to stay in NC, why would I date while I'm in NC? I know, a lot of people say "You never know what could happen." For me, I'm not changing my life for someone else again. Been there, done that and it didn't bode well. I also don't want to start dating someone fabulous, only to eventually have to say "Sorry dude, I'm leaving and either you're coming or I'm going."
I think this girls going to be single for a while. I say that, and next week I'll tell you guys I met someone amazing. HAHA. Anyway, having been through what I've been through and in my experiences from guys past, I know what I want. Perhaps it sounds bad, but it's gotten to the point where I meet a guy and will know right away if he's even worth an ounce of my time. Frankly, I don't care my standards are that way. I'm 100% certain the type of guy I want in every way. Personality, appearance, beliefs, career, etc. I think when I waiver from that or settle, I end up in a major problem. If it causes me to be single until I die, so be it. I'm not worried.
Out of curiosity, where did you all meet your spouses?
I married my best friend from my hometown shortly after joining the military. The stress of being a military spouse was too much for him and the marriage went way bad. After a bad divorce and transferring for a school, the one close friend I had in this new school later became my boyfriend and later became my fiance.
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to my husband my freshman year of college by his high school best friend (who I was friends with at the time). We started officially dating when he did the green to gold program and started attending my college during my sophomore year. 10 years later, we're still together :)
ReplyDeleteI understand not knowing how to really date. I never did it either. I had 3 serious boyfriends and they were all pretty much back to back.
There is nothing wrong with having standards, actually strongly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteLove the cartoon too!
Keep us posted!

High school. Mister and I dated since our junior year and then married a week after graduation. We've been together for 11 1/2 years {counting the time we dated.} Sometimes I think "what if" and like you I have no interest in dating and all the "fun" that goes with it. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteI never did the dating thing ever. My first love attended my church. He was way older than me at the time (I was 15, he was 20, and our "dating" went on until I was 18.) then I dated a guy right when I graduated high school. I knew within a month he wasn't for me, and a month later I met my now husband. I met him at my work, actually. His dad was the store manager in the grocery store I worked at (in the pharmacy).
ReplyDeleteI hope it's quick and painless for you. ;)
I met my husband in high school, his senior year my sophomore year.
ReplyDeleteWe were matched on eHarmony a year ago this Sunday, and get married next month. :) I was skeptical, but I totally recommend it!
ReplyDeleteI met my husband on Okcupid.com It was free, fun and did all the personality quizzes and compatability matching that the other sites did, but all for free. He actually didn't come up in my original search because I clicked that I preferred non smokers, and he smokes. But I saw his picture/profile, got to know him and the rest is history. I can deal with a smoker that loves me so completely. We were just married about a week and a half ago after dating for about two years.
ReplyDeletei can't answer your question at the end, duh! lol but i can say that I know the feeling and I'm right here with ya girl. I hate to think that I'm going to be single my whole life, but it def goes through my mind one in awhile. I always seem to find the perfect guys at the most random times. I feel like the Lord has someone waiting for me and when the time is right, he will come. Even if I'm 80. :)
