Someone wrote something that made me think about what I would do in a particular situation…. And then I talked about it with B… There’s a reason that boy is my bestest… He’s a great sounding board and he gives great advice too… Tonight he was just a good sounding board.

What did I read? A blog/post/journal entry type thing about what someone was trying to figure out what to do in this one particular scenario…

With concern to internet dating… If you’re ‘talking’ to someone (ie discussing dating) should you continue to look or should you wait for that one person?

I came to the conclusion, after talking to B… It really depends on the level of seriousness of the ‘talking’…. If its someone you’re serious about and have discussed potential for long term, and feel a certain level of intimacy (though how much intimacy you can feel when having never met a person I don’t know…) then yes for sure, wait for that person… But on the other hand, its someone you’re just casually talking to, getting to know, then don’t bank everything on that one person, they may or may not be the ‘one’ for you… And if the ‘one’ comes along while you’re waiting, what are you going to do, tell em sorry, I’m waiting for this person?!?!?

If you’re talking to someone you’ve met on the internet and they keep putting you off, they really don’t want to meet…. Or it means they just aren’t as into you as you are them…. I know when I’m into a guy, I can’t wait til I get to hang out with him…

Though I’ve never dated off the internet so I really guess its all a moot point…

So here’s something to think on…. Is it wrong to talk (just talk not talk about dating, just your basic flirting) with a guy just because he’s got a group of better looking friends and you hope you’ll get invited to join them and potentially hit on them or get hit upon? (does that make any sense?) I didn’t do it, but I’m just curious what people think….

Also I’ve sort of decided I want to learn how to dance… I know the 2 step pretty well and I was doing it (the 2 step) with a friend last night and had a lot of fun…. I usually dread when a guy asks me to dance or says he’s really into dancing, 1. because I can’t really dance and 2. I suck at dancing…. And 3. I don’t like doing things I’m not 100 percent confident of…. But I’m going to start looking into dance classes and see what I can find I think…. If anyone wants to check it out with me, message me…. Or if you know anything about dancing and would care to teach an intrepid beginner…

So I just found out about yet another wedding of a friend of mines... And another friend whose having a baby.... So that makes the count, what now? 4 weddings in a year? And at least 2 babies.... No, no, 3 if you include this most recent pregnancy.... And 5 weddings since they're planning on getting married now....

I'm sort of hearing my biological clock tick tocking a bit but I've been able to quit thinking about it, until I hear something like the news I got tonight....

And its one of the guys, I NEVER thought would commit, let alone have kids.... Its just mind boggling....

Its not that I hoped one day he'd turn around and be totally in love with me... No, while hes a good guy, I never saw him THAT way before since he's always had a girlfriend (not the same one - hence my tendency to think him a bit of a commitment-phobe) and the one time he was single... I was with the ex and going through all that drama.... So its always been purely platonic between us....

But that doesn't mean I can't be floored by his announcement.... Of course I'm happy for him, and her, even though I don't know her.... And their kid is gonna have one heck of a family thats gonna love him/her and spoil them to death.... I guess I'm just a wee bit jealous is all....

And maybe a lil meloncholy about the whole thing....

I mean I'm turning 28 next month and I've been single 3 years... I don't even know if I remember how being in a relationship feels like anymore.... And how does one keep up a good relationship? Can I commit to someone for more than a few dates?

I mean I know I can commit... I've done it before...

Its just been so long and so much has happened since then its a lil fuzzy....

And I just almost shared too much info... Thank God for the delete key....

Heck, even dating feels like taking a foreign language!!!!!

I just want to write a note that says do you like me with a lil check box, one box with yes, one with no... And the words check one under that.... yes I know its a George Strait song... But the man has the right idea.... Things should be a lot simpler....

We as adults tend to make them more complex....

Darn us....

In other news I've finally finished watching season 6 of Buffy.....
