I haven't blogged in a really long time. I joined EHarmony and I've been very disappointed in that website. One of the matches that it sent me turned out to be a convicted felon who works at and attends my church (bachelor #24). He served time for drugs and I don't think he could understand why I couldn't handle this. He sent me a couple of creepy messages but he finally faded away. I ran into him at church a couple of times but I have managed to avoid him lately. I then joined a Christian dating website and met a man (bachelor #25) who was very nice but we didn't have much in common. He took me out on a date but when we sat down to eat, he commented on how expensive the restaurant was and then he took me to Bass Pro. It wasn't really my kind of date. I had to break it to him later than we just didn't have the romantic connection that I was looking for in a mate.
I maintained a friendship with Bachelor #23 and we decided we would give dating another chance. He said he had worked through some issues and felt he was ready to date again. We dated for a week but then he got weird on me so we ended it again. He hadn't worked through his issues like he thought he had and I asked him to refrain from dating any woman for a long time so he won't put anyone else through his crap.
I really am tired of the dating rat race. I would love to meet a nice man who treats me with respect and courtesy but I am tired of looking for him. It's time for me to step back and let life take it's course, I guess.
I did go away last weekend with some girlfriends and I had the best time and realized that I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time. This is what life is all about. It's about spending quality time with those we love and not sweating the small stuff. I realize I have been sweating the small stuff for quite some time now and it's time to step back and relax.
