I have not had a date. Well, like, never. Really. I've never been on a date. Or dated. I can't believe I am 42 years old and never went on a date.
In high school I kind of just hooked up with boys. No not sex, it was just like we kissed and we were instant couples. Then in college I met Todd at a friend's party. We made out. We were a couple. We were together for 7 years. When our relationship ended I found J. We knew each other from school. We were friends. There was no dating. There was mostly talking, having fun, and all of a sudden we were a couple. And now here I am.
So this dating thing is completely new to me. And what does a person who thinks a lot and analyzes a lot do with that? Well, research. On Google. Probably not the best thing but where the hell else am I supposed to get dating advice?? From my happily married friends? Or my divorced Dad? Please, if someone has some good advice please share. But for now I'll continue to consult with Mr. Google on what the hell I'm supposed to be doing.
All these rules. I can't even keep them straight.
Date multiple men at once. Men play the field. Women should too.
Don't call or text someone more than every three days and never express any feelings for ANYONE!!
Send out at least 3 emails a day on the dating site to increase chances of finding a match.
Meet someone in person after less than 5 email exchanges or fall victim to being a pen pal.
and this one, use texting to communicate between email exchanges and actual in person meetings. What?? Why?? Why can't we talk on the phone? Or just meet? I hate texting.
But for some reason I feel compelled to follow the rules....
Brian (easy talking guy) gave me his cell number. Let the texting begin.
