DATING! I TOTALLY GIVE UP

It's no big secret that I was in a relationship for 7 years! I stress "was". Yay, for the next man! For the past year I have been single, dolo, just one! I began to embrace my solidarity and love the warmth of my trusty laptop, but it wasn't enough. I began to want to have fun again and cook for two, rather than having crummy left overs for the next day. I hadn't dated anyone for almost a decade since I was wifed up with my man, I didn't know where to begin? Should I have started with Match.com, I have heard great success stories, but before I ventured onto cybersex land, I wanted to see what New York had to offer. There were a few prospects I had in mind, but they happened to be too close for comfort. I didnt like the idea of speaking to men who cat called me from the car. It seemed to impersonal, although those Harlem boys have a rugged appeal to them (slapping my hand, they are no good!). I didn't know what I wanted, I was expecting some movie scene where I would turn around and flash that guy with a big smile and our eyes would meet. Yeah right!

So the dating scene started to unfold friends tired of me being the third wheel. Letting your friends hook you was a huge disaster... My first date, we call him the rapist. The date started of great until he kept trying to adjust me in the movie theatre. He wanted to spoon! OH MY Gosh, I called my best friend and had her pretend she had an emergency, I knew he would be pissed afterall he paid for lots of junk food and movie. I had to get out of the situation! How uncomfortable, after that date I just began to stop looking.

Today, well just say I am still single and dating in New York is not fun! Half of these men want to meet in a club or some social scene. I do this for a living I dont want to converse in damn club! A lounge perhaps or a restaurant or how about Virgin Records and lets buy DVD's and CD's for $10 bucks. Simple! Im at the age where I want simplicity yet lets do the wow factor as well.
