So I read this story in the New York Times and found it amusing. Who doesn’t want to feel special? Who doesn’t want to find love? I know I do even when I shout from the rooftops that I give up. I haven’t since I’m a romantic at heart. I’m not like the woman who wrote this since I’ve met enough men of Craigslist, Match, Plenty of Fish, OK Cupid and other sites that I now look at them side eyes but I haven’t give up on meeting someone. I am fighting the fantasy of ‘meeting cute’ from the romcoms that I watched when I was young but still would love to meet my other half, prince charming and love but you have to keep your antenna up since people lie. I’ve found watching ID TV with all the horrors of ‘my date from hell’ that reminds everyone you have to be careful. One of the big things I’ve learned is NEVER let someone pick you up at your place till you know them enough to feel comfortable. I’ve learned that the HARD way with situations that left me feeling uncomfortable, intimidated and scared. So NOBODY comes in my place till I’m sure they are trustworthy. Just the same when men start to say really soon after meeting me that ‘they want kids’ or ‘want to get married’ well I’ve found that’s usually them manipulating me to parrot my deeply held dream of a family. I’m not saying to not date or fall in love you have to be careful. It doesn’t matter if your in a small town in Minnesota or the big city of Dallas people are the same. Some are good. Some are bad. Some are honest and some … well you get the picture.
