Well, I guess you can say I have entered the crazy roller coaster ride that is dating. So far my story consists of four parts; a relationship, some harmless flirting, a blind date and a player.
Part I- A relationship, and the mistake that it was.
This part of the story starts with my institute class, this semester I decided to take Book of Mormon two from Brother Jolly, an excellent class if I do say so my self but that's a different story. In this class I was asked to serve as one of the co-presidents along with a kid, we'll just call him J. J was nice enough, and when he asked me out I said yes, mainly because I hadn't been out on a date since the two I had in high school. The date was, well, really awkward! He was really awkward, but he was interested in me and it made me feel good so I said yes, when he asked me out again for the next night. We went out on a few dates after that, it got less awkward. Then a few weeks into dating we we got 'serious'; I put it in quotation marks, because it really wasn't. We were a couple, we spent Valentines Day together, I met his parents, he broke up with me. It took awhile to get it out of him, but it was because his parents didn't like me, lame, I know. It lasted all of one month, and the entire thing was a mistake, one I'll not be making again. But I did learn somethings from it.
1) Never move that fast!!!! It's a bad idea!!
2) Be sure that it's what I want. I think I was more interested in having a boyfriend then in J.
3) Be careful what you say. Some people don't need to know somethings.
4) Don't get to attached to fast, I didn't and I am so grateful I didn't.
5) Discuss things, communication is the key.
All in all, I'm glad it's over and it ended when it did, instead of me waking up three months from now and realizing what a bad idea I had.
Part II- Some harmless flirting :)
So I work in fast food. I'm a cashier at the local taco joint, it's a job that I hate, but sometimes it can be fun, like when the Three Stooges come in. The Stooges are three guys that come into the store and are the type that flirt just to flirt. Stooge 1 is the ring leader, he's the most vocal and really hilarious. Stooge 2 is a little more reserved a but can still cause a ruckus. Stooge 3 is the quietest of the three, he's really sweet when he comes in alone. Nothing is going to come of it, but it's fun to flirt and to be flirted with. Especially after a break up, it makes me feel happy.
Part III- A blind date.
Back before spring break, and couple of friends of mine had a brilliant idea. We were going out on a group date and we were each gonna set each other up on a blind date. I set up TK, TK set up KT and KT set up me. A few weeks latter it actually happened. We had a picnic, played Frisbee, colored with side walk chalk, played games, it was alot of fun. my date, M, was really nice we had a good time together. We talked, he joked, I laughed, it was fun. We've been Facebook messaging since, I'd like another date just to get to know him better. I don't know if it'll lead anywhere, maybe it will maybe it won't; but one thing I know is that I will not make the same mistakes as in part one.
and finally...
Part IV-A player.
So there's this friend of a friend, a notorious player; he has a way of making girls swoon. He's gorgeous, really sweet and kinda funny. And what's worse... I'm falling for him >:( It all started earlier this week when he hugged me, I don't really hug guys outside of a relationship unless they're really good friends. It was odd. Then last night we talked and he was charming; I don't think he's consciously trying to play me but it still sucks! I told my roommates what was going on and they said everyone falls for him and eventually moves one, that he's the one that can't be caught. And the thing is I'm not sure whether I truly like him or I like the 'special' attention he's giving me, and even if it's really 'special' attention. GRRRRRR!!!!!
At this point I think boys are dumb and that we should throw rocks at them. Agreed ladies? I think so.
And through all of this, I've kept close to the scriptures, mainly my patriarchal blessing, reading it's counsel over and over again. And I've realized that, i don't need a boy to be happy. It'd be nice to have one, yes, but I don't need one. I'm happy being me! Just a single girl trying to find her place in the world. I have faith that, eventually, the right man will come along and that I'll be happy with him. But for now... I am content. :)
Keep it real guys!!
