I have faced the dating frontier and I have found it barren. I do not speak from a place of bitterness but of truthfulness at least for me. The men that approach me have not been filled with the flavor I need from a man. My restless nature and adventurous spirit longs for a man with a fertile imagination and an urban sensibility that can supply his knowledge base to take me on adventures not of my own creation. A lightness of spirit that doesn’t take life or relationships too seriously and will let our time be whatever it will be without expectations or reservations. A passionate nature that lives life trying new things, open to the world around him with a side of impulsiveness that keeps me on my toes. Anyhow, anywho I won’t go on but suffice to say I have not met this man, yet. Does he exist? I hope so but in the mean time what is a girl to do with herself? Should I wallow in self pity lamenting the lack of good male company? Should I sit in the house not experiencing life because I don’t have a companion to share these moments? Not this girl! No way! I will not let life pass me by not one minute more. I will do what I do best. I will leap like I always do. Stop thinking as a couple and think like the single person I am and love it. I admit I am a social person love to talk, to have a person that gets me but all of the sudden it is clear. Who gets me more than me? HELLO, GOODBYE! (two snaps to the wind)
So now I will date Me. Let’s face it. I am fascinating LOL. So from this day forward I will have fabulous dates with myself. I will take myself exactly where I want to go, see the things I want to, do the things I have always wanted to and revisit things I miss. At this point in my life I don’t long to visit the hottest clubs drinking my nights away while sweating and dancing. I did that in my late teens and twenties and I did it well. The things I want to do usually end at a decent hour and for a more mature crowd. Galleries, theatres, wine tastings, festivals and a plethora of other events which I will visit on my own and will live the life I crave. I will not attend these events with an eye out for a man but for the joy of the experience. Embracing moments for what they should be; a snapshot that will never come again. As time and funds become more available my adventures will reach other cities, states and countries. I am getting excited at the prospect of this time. Time to start making plans for my first date with a vivacious, alluring, seductive companion I hope I don’t disappoint. Oh wait a minute that won’t happen because no one knows this person better than ME! LMAO
Here’s to cork popping, wine sipping, cheese tasting, gallery visiting, adventure having good times.


I like your “Paradigm of Dating”. I wish I read it 15 years ago so that I could have adopted your idea
