I’m your regular 25 year-old single girl, with regular tastes, insecurities and hang ups about men.
I date. Some may say I date a lot.
I am good at dating. I know that because I can go to dinner (take last Thursday for example), talk to a man for anywhere up to four hours, listen to his mundane stories about his mundane job and even laugh at his mundane jokes. I then get the text message the next day, “So I have not heard from you. What happened? I thought we had an awesome time.” Don’t get me wrong, I often act like a guy would in many cases. Actually come to think of it, I was the guy last Thursday.
So here I am trying a new approach.
When asked what I am looking for in a man, I can honestly say that as a woman it’s a lot simpler than men think… although I do expect a quick sense of humour, and some decorum. It’s not about the money, the looks, the job, or size and girth. (Well I will get to that later) but at the end of the day, all I really want is to meet someone who thinks I am great. Isn’t that what every woman wants?
Of late I have found myself dating on average about once a week. Some are fantastic, some are hilarious, and some are just bloody awful. I recently dated a 30-year-old guy who lived at home on the lower North Shore. He was very sweet, had a great job in television and was a self-confessed Mummy’s boy. This I can handle. However, halfway through the date he excused himself for 10 minutes. When he returned he told me that he had just called in to let his mum know he was safe and that he would not be late. I mean COME ON!
To be frank I am loving dating men, meeting new men and kissing new men. It’s fun. I don’t invest too much, so I don’t expect too much. It’s not a great feeling to be told by the guy you like that he is also dating other women, and you are about third on his list. But you know what it’s all part of it, and someday he will meet someone he thinks is great. So here I am. Looking for someone who thinks I am great. Not an easy feat, but we shall see, and you shall get to read my adventures along the way.
Happy dating people.
