Those words in my title ring true some days. And some days I'd rather poke my eye out with an ice pick. But as with everything else in life, it is a necessary evil -- kinda like paying taxes and having your wisdom teeth pulled. Or a lobotomy.
All my married friends ask me "Is it really that bad out there?". Good question. I answer depending on the most recent experience I've had. And of course, they live vicariously through me by hearing my dating adventures; some good, some not-so-good, some bland but more so, downright hysterical. And I've even had a few wonderful experiences with some great guys. Rare but I guess that's how it is supposed to be.
I am not on any sort of "mission" really. Just putting myself out there to cross paths with another kindred soul who can make me laugh and even love again. A good guy who has all his "baggage" stowed under the seat in front of him. Someone who makes my toes curl and my ears tingle -- at the same time. (Now, get your minds outta the gutter!)
So, there you go.
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the one who'll decide where to go." ~Dr. Seuss
“Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.” ~Scott Adams
