Dating Again
Am I the only one that, while dating someone forgets how much they like being single? Well, until I am single and then I wish I was dating someone.
It depends on who I’m dating I guess. I really wish my brain was wired like some of my friends who are able to meet guys and sleep around and not feel like each date needs to be either the start of something permanant or nothing at all. I just don’t feel comfortable casually dating more than one guy at a time. After the first date, if things go well, I immediately feel like I’ve been taken off the market and guilt sets in if I so much as talk with someone else in the bars. I need to get over that.
The other thing that I’ve noticed is that I’ve been dating older and older guys lately. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always liked older guys.. but once they’re 12+ years my senior I start to think about the math… when I’m 50 he’ll be 66. uhg. Pushing it.
I think 10 years is my soft limit to date. What do you think?

Alas, I know exactly how you feel…

But I think the age difference sort of works itself out as you get older….I mean, when you’re 50…66 doesn’t seem that big of a difference, as it does when, say, you’re 20 and someone is 32….don’t you think?

I know how you feel, too. Sometimes I feel like T.S. Eliot’s phrase about cats: “always on the wrong side of every door…” Nice journal! Believe it or not, I linked here after googling “Lionheart Group”, cause I got the same letter from them after posting a resume on Monster…
