Rock Bottom: Psyche in Brooklyn


You know you've dating hit rock bottom when:

  1. People say, "Tell me one of your dating stories to cheer me up."
  2. One of your blog readers from halfway across the world is offering to set you up on a date.
  3. Your 90-year-old grandmother (who is a little forgetful) can somehow remember that you're single and makes wisecracks about it.
  4. Your friends call you after you've been on a date to make sure you're ok.
  5. People start thinking that your dating experiences are just a figment of your imagination coupled with good writing.
So apparently I'm at dating rock bottom. LOL. But I'm surprisingly unfazed by this revelation that came to me yesterday during the deluge of rain. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I'm a bit of a modern-day Psyche. Like Psyche, I've gotten into this dating quagmire because of my curiosity. I just can't leave shit alone and accept that some people are just assholes; I always wanna dig below the surface to see what's there.

And these bad dates? They're simply Venus' tests (which I'm handling splendidly if I do say so myself) to make sure I'm worthy of a good catch. I'm sure Cupid is somewhere at the end of this.

If not, I'm only a vowel away from being Psycho...hehe

You haven't really been looking.

LOL @ "Cupid"...You might be right...but as in greek mythology, it is Cupid who finds Psyche, ennit?

U do it to entertain us, just like I go out on Saturdays, simply for new material...

And if that's rock bottom half the single girls out there are in a hole....

You gotta look at the upside, the bank account full of your own money, the freedom to go when and where you want, etc,.....

Chin up girl

LMAO @ Mr. A: You should read about the Starving Artist...between that and Mr. Right, I think I've paid - both literally and figuratively. teehee...

@KG & CP: I promise you the entertainment factor is not intentional. A bit of good news is on the horizon, though...:)

"a bit of good news is on the horizon..." Tantalizing. Hmmm.

I've decided that I'm going to jump back in the game. So tired of having male brethrins and no boyfriend. It's been too long. Tired of going for a out-of-town-resort-weekend with the girls and not with a man. Chuups.

The frightening thing about it is I don't feel like looking, I just want someone to turn up at my doorstep.

I hope I sit next to someone nice on the plane to DC this month-end.

The last 'boyfriend' I met while travelling was/still is pretty cool. Just not my type.

We saggies are intelligent and fun, why are we looking? they should be looking for us :0)

@gela...

Yeah, tantalizing news is on the horizon...I feel it.

You see? You can say you're ready to jump back into the dating game and does anyone question your motives?! Noooooooo. But the minute I say it, people think I'm just trolling for good blog stories. *sigh* The burdens I must bear. LOL.

Enigma, I think the only thing left for you to try is to act like a Psycho. Go for it! Maybe it's your whole "put-together-ness" that's funkin' up your relationship feng shui. YING AND YANG. Opposites attract!

I am with Kingston Girl on this one... if you commit to someone then you are going to have to change your blog topics. Although that might not be such a bad thing. I think relatinship life is more exciting than single life... for a guy anyways.
