I'd absolutely like to know what I'm getting into before I jump head first into things. It'd be so easy if there were floating balloons above people; "single", "taken", "clingy", "neurotic", "asshole". Is that so hard to ask?
I have a fairly good driving record. Two speeding tickets in three years, and one was UFPD and doesn't count. But how would my dating record fare in court? Translation: What makes a good candidate for dating?
I am a Serial Long-Term Monogamist. I will date one guy for a long time, many times. (as if I couldn't get it right the first time) I've had one serious relationship after another, year after year. Nothing ever really lasting more than a year. The guys in between have been around for a long time, but nothing serious ever forms. I've hit a point in my dating career, in between relationships, where I don't really have anybody to fill that void. Driving solo. I've been okay with it for awhile now, although it's definitely the longest I've been unattached (4 months).
So how do you go about meeting someone new exactly? I'm at a job where I don't exactly meet new people. My commute is with my car, 35 miles everyday on I-66. Not exactly the friendliest avenue to be on. There aren't people to spot on my lunch break, and there isn't the constant influx of people one would encounter on the metro or bus to work. I've been told to join eHarmony many times, but that seems like a move I don't feel I should be taking. God forbid, what did people do before internet dating?
My one foray into dating resulted in a guy who didn't tell me he had a son and a live-in girlfriend. Trick.
I really don't want to have another one of those. A little help might be nice.
So yeah, dating balloons. Make it happen.
