Tough Choices

So after having a wonderful belly laugh at Fiyah's definition of a tough choice (To Host Or Not To Host?), I got to thinking about some of the tough decisions I have to make in my own life. And although I'm still scarred from the last time I listened yall's advice, I'm still gonna ask for it.

Decision 1: Take A Cultured Approach?

I have an extremely sensitive body; aside from my immune system which is surprisingly sturdy, the rest of me is easily susceptible to breakouts, rashes and just general sensitivity and disrepair.

So it may not be all that surprising that I'm lactose intolerant.

Problem is, I love yogurt (peach, to be exact). It tastes good, and it's great for my friend downstairs; but not so great for my lactose intolerance. Each time I eat yogurt it's like I'm dying inside - literally. I'm not even talking about a little poot here and there; I'm talking about a stop-your-social life, stay at home with cotton balls up your nose kinda gas. But a yeast infection is no walk in the park either. So do I keep eating my yogurt and just continue to have bad gas, or should I just risk the threat of getting a yeast?

Decision #2: Eat My Heart Out?

By now you all know that I'm usually attracted to the creative, free spirit (read: broke) as opposed to Mr. Corporate. Guess since I'm Miss Corporate, I'm looking for the ying to my yang.
I love to eat out, travel, and do a lot of things you need money for. But I find myself in dating situations where I have to sacrifice what I really want to do because I know he can't afford it. And I don't mind paying, really I don't, but no self-respecting dude is gonna allow his chick to pay for him all the time and sometimes it's nice to just choose a restaurant and go without having to first look at the price.

Problem is the dudes I can do that with, most of them put me to sleep; the dudes that interest me can't afford to do stuff like that. So do I date the dude I think is aaaight who can afford to do the things I like, or do I date the dude I like who can only afford to do things I think is aaaiigght.

Decision 3: Dare to Dream?

I haven't talked about Dreamy Dread in a while...I think I'm turning into a dude; first the underwear rant, now the disinterest in someone I've pursued for months. LOL. It might have something to do with the fact that I recently found out that Dreamy Dread had a fling with an acquaintance of mine - while he was fully in a relationship. He doesn't know I know this though.

A couple weeks ago we started chatting frequently on the phone and even met up casually once. I've kept it strictly platonic though. Even before I knew about his fling with my friend and his two-timing ways, I dunno, I just wasn't interested in flirting or any of the stuff I used to do. He's had a really life-changing thing happen in his life recently and he was telling me it really affected his outlook on life. My acquaintance said he even took her out and apologized for his behavior.

Now I don't really believe people change...maybe 2% of the time. Should I give him the benefit of the doubt and actually go out with him when he asks me again, or should I just go with my first mind and keep it strictly platonic?

Holla back!
