Believing in Great Expectations Is One Way to Start Dating New Eligible Singles
Nobody can say I’m pleasantly comfortable as an “independent” (aka: naturally single) person and remain an honest woman. But, I’m not uncomfortable in that way, either. I only mention it here as an ear-catching little tidbit setting up the story I am prepared to discuss honestly.
This time last week I was walking the dog, Sandy, considering buying a membership to a dating service for Phoenix singles. You prolly couldn’t guess that, I type to the blogosphere as a delightfully single member of the matchmaking service. For real, and I almost don’t believe it myself! I like it! If you know me at all, you’re probably thinking, “Stop blabbering and tell me about it already.”
Here’s how it went down, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and liked what I saw. They’re for the honest singles who think dating should mean something.
Because I’d never been a fan of this silly social phenomenon my friends and my family have named “dating.” I faced it more than you know. Every night people pester, “Are you two serious yet?” and “You should date!”
“Ugh, and double ugh.” I reply, without missing a beat. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”
“Not true,” they deadpan. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”
Thankfully, that’s my sister (on a good day)
Stacey McCarthy. She beams reality to my brain to put me back on course. People are always there . Can’t argue with that, and I thank her for it.
Back to the message of this post. As I selected from more than three hundred outfits (hah) and desirable, honest singles for my first Great Expectations date, a revelation hit me true. For the longest time, I hadn’t had any figurative great expectations for dating in the fun-filled path of being human. Single life has its perks, only if you use the freedom to date. Holding great expectations does wonders for those who believe.
