And I am still a single woman. I would (honestly) like to be surprised by this, but alas, I am not. On the one hand, I am pretty sure that I am still not ready .. not ready to trust my own judgement, much less the judgement of a guy. Secondly, I am pretty sure that the men I am running into these days are more broken than I feel. And, I am not settling for whoever might like/love me. I need to love him, and love him madly. My mother suggests that "at this age" I might need to understand that men are not perfect and that I will not find the perfect man", but I do insist that at this age, I am entitled to the man who is perfect for me. Why settle for less?
Onward and forward we go... dating adventures.. I met the Navy guy earlier this month. We seemed to hit it off.. three dinner dates later, he is Silent Sam. Suddenly I do get an email and he apologizes for "breaking up" via email.. this "relationship is not working for him". I have to admit I am a bit stumped, and I am also pretty sure (since we had the serial dating conversation) that he was/is dating others and simply found someone he liked better.. or conversely was scared of really making a connection with me. Either way, in my mind, three dinner dates does not a relationship make, even when sex is involved. I mean, come on, we are all grownups who grew up in the Age of Aquarius! And, in my gracious response to his break up email, I said so. Thanks for playing.
I'm pretty sure women don't lie....
