So,
I’m 42. My last date was in highschool. I’ve only had 3 dates total. The first one I took her to see the Mighty Ducks. the second one with the same lady, I took her to see something a bit more ‘adult’, Captain Ron. The third one, with a new lady, I took her to a local arcade where we played games, baseball, and mini golf. I thought that went far better, but it didn’t go beyond that, and I’m still really trying to figure out why.
Beyond that, I’m SUPER shy. and pessemestic. I’m also an introvert who’s not comfortable in crowds. But once I get to know you, I feel real comfortable in knowing what you’ll be able to take in terms of humor and talks, and start to open up. the problem is, that takes time. and by the time it happens, it’s too late to impress the person and change their opinion.
as far as attempting other dates. I’ve tried. I went to a radio event that was a singles bowling night. there was only one person t here really my age. we became friendly, but she lived too far across the state to even consider a date easy. I became friendly with a nurse at my derm group…after about 5 months of friendly chatter, I decided to get the nerve to ask her out. the look of shock when I walked in the next day practically depressed me for the rest of the week. that was about 5 years ago, and havn’t tried again since.
Murderers in prison seem to have an easier time attracting someone than I do. And the only thing I can figure out is I must be paying for something horrible I did in a past life. makes sense :).
So, I can’t be the only hopelessly single person here. ‘they share a drink of loniness, but it’s easier than drinking alone’ as the old story goes :).
In other random news, I’d date emily or yvonne freeze in an instant. anyone wanna play matchmaker ?
