IT SUCKS.

Okay, maybe I’m being too judgmental considering I never really dated before. I’ve always managed to kind of fall into relationships and that’s worked out just fine for me. My last relationship began as a friendship and lasted for five amazing years.

But for real, real actual dating just seems like too much work.

I mean, first you have to meet someone which is hard to do especially if you have to be like two glasses of wine in to even consider talking to the opposite sex anymore. Seriously, I use to be good at the whole flirting and boy thing. Then I got into a long term relationship, broke that off, chubbed up a bit and now it’s like I completely forgot how to talk to guys. Forget about flirting.

Then there is the whole awkward, getting to know you process where I’m just like do you really want to know how my brain works? Here is my twitter. You’ll know way more about me than you EVER wanted to because no really, I DO actually think about Zac Efron, mac and cheese and apply Mean Girls quotes to every day conversation all in the time span of about 10 minutes and VOCALIZE it.

Moving on to the “let’s meet up for coffee or some nonsense” and I’m all dude, I don’t drink coffee. I eat like a 7  year old and prefer hot chocolate with a side of chicken fingers, thanks.

(unless you want to get me drunk because clearly, we all know I’m about the wine)

Prettying myself up. Trying to pretend like I’m interesting. Showing interest. Not getting distracted by shiny, pretty things.  Making myself available. Trying to be witty and charming. The Someone Might Possibly See Me Naked in the Near Future Diet and Exercise Plan.

IT IS HARD WORK.

Which is why I decided I’m not going try to date. I’m not going to seek guys out.

I’m just going to wait.

I’m going to wait for a dude to find my blog or follow me on twitter and fall in love with me. Then he already will know about my Crazy and Ridiculous but will just think it is Quirky and Adorable so we can skip all the awkward and just get to the good stuff.

I know. I know it’s kind of the best plan ever. I don’t have to do anything except what I’m already doing.

JUST KEEP BEING AWESOME.
