The "this" I am referring to is "dating".
I'll give you a little background.
-I dated a guy for two years before he left on his mission... he was my first boyfriend, first kiss, the first guy i said "I love you" to, the first person i would go to with a problem, I was myself around him, and life was great. I didn't think about other guys, I didn't go out on dates (one i guess because i was dating someone, two because guys just don't ask anymore), Well then he left... Kinda on a bad note and it made me realize that he isn't exactly what i want in my future spouse.
My eyes were then opened up to the world of men!!
WHAT THE?!?! SERIOUSLY?!!? How the HECK do people find someone to date let alone someone to marry?!
---you have the creepers, the Jocks, the nerds, The beautiful ones (who I get still nervous talking to haha like i'm in high school again), the brainiacs, the rude/vulgar ones, the old awkward men that talk to anyone and everyone trying to get numbers, the fresh of the Mish, the depressed RM's that think life sucks, the completely confused, and the list goes on and on and ON! and sometimes if you are lucky or not you find some one that fits into more than one category!
Well, by the hand of fate you MIGHT find one of these "men" that you are actually interested in... but then comes the make it or break it situation........ Are they interested in you?!
hhhhmmmm...... how do you know? And how do you give hints that you like them without being completely ridiculous or weird?
I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet a lot of new fun guys these last couple of months. I have decided to go to the singles ward, I go to the firesides, I actually go up and talk to new people, I have been hanging out with a new group each weekend; however, nothing has really come out of this.... guys just don't ask for your number... am I aloud to? hahaha because I would totally grow a pair and walk up to a guy and talk to him and ask him for his number, even if it was just to hang out again, but that could seem super over powering and therefore turn the guy off to any interest right there on the spot... see my dilemma? SO... i'm stuck between a rock and a hard spot on this whole "meeting knew guys" and "dating". Because if it was up to me I would not be sitting at home on the weekend. I would be getting together with random people! Why not? What do we have to lose, seriously?!
----------------------------
My next item to talk about........ How do you KINDLY let guys know that you are not interested? And i don't mean interested in hanging out with them, I mean interested in dating them. I will always say yes to the first date! But then after that I always feel horrible saying no. But in high school it was SOOO different. You could go on as many dates with someone as you wanted and it didn't really mean anything. But now that i'm at the age of dating=marriage it's TOTALLY different....

Ok so i know there are like 2 1/2 people that read my blog but i would really like to know what everyone thinks even if it is someone who i don't know.
So leave comments!! :)
