Now, I have met a few men but no one that I was even remotely attracted to or interested in. There was one possible, but after some conversation we realized our religious/spiritual beliefs were to dissimilar for anything other than friendship to be pursued. I have gone out a bit more often, frequented different supermarkets, etc, and made new friends. I have put it out there to friends that I am ready to date. I have even dabbled a bit with online dating, OK cupid, eharmonhy, and match.com, exchanged emails and even phone numbers. But all to no avail.
Prior to my last relationship, about three years ago, I recall it being a bit easier to meet suitable /datable men. A year is an awfully long dry spell. Is this dating after 30??? Or has my definition of suitable / datable men changed? In the last 3 years have all the suitable / datable men tied the knot, gotten in to “it’s complicated” type relationships with baby mamas, or secured a permanent residence in friend zone??? hmm….
So I remind my self that loneliness is just a feeling and it will pass (see Life Lessons: Feelings vs. Reality) Droughts are temporary and are usually followed by the rainy season. Eventually it will be raining men. 🙂 Therefore, I resist the urge to lower my standards or date someone I have no desire to spend time with just for the sake of dating. I resist the urge to second guess my own awesomeness because I have not come across a Man that I want to date. I resist the urge to assume that I have missed my chance of meeting someone because I am 30 and single.
Instead I will focus on all of the Joys of Being Single and pick up my pace so that I can get Joy back in my sights.
