I always feel so nervous before the first date, because I'm worried that the guy won't like me or I won't like him. Then if I do like him, I worry that he won't call. I think that one reason I haven't dated in a while is because I didn't want to go through all that again.

I've tried online dating several times, though, but so far have only met "frogs". I think I'm a frog magnet.

But I am definitely not a sugar baby. I think about ninety percent of the guys who have contacted me have been much older; I wish they could get it through their thick skulls that most younger women prefer to date guys their own age. They don't want the men who are significantly older.

I've gotten several winks, but only a couple e-mails, and even in the e-mails the guys usually just say "Hi" and that's it. I always e-mail guys that I'm interested in, and I write at least a paragraph. I don't like the winks because it seems like it's less effort to "wink" at someone. A thoughtful e-mail would be a better way to show that they're responding to something in my profile and that they're interested in getting to know me. But most guys apparently aren't willing to make that effort. <br /> I have written several pages about online dating, and I'm going to put them in a book. If I can't get a boyfriend out of this, at least I could get a novel.

Sometimes it hits me, but I mostly roll with it.<br /><br />That Asian guy can't be real. Too much! And winking, seriously? I thought the Facebook poking was weird. I don't blame you for feel demoralized sometimes. At least it makes for some good blog fodder. I think you could write a killer novel with this material.

But now I know that I want to be in a relationship. I'm not sure how things will work out with this guy, but I hope that I won't end up disappointed again.

At least just meet up and see what happens. I think you should be proud of yourself for putting yourself out there. You know?

I know I shouldn't worry too much; I've spent too much time worrying, and I need to just relax and let things happen instead. I hope that there is a right guy out there for me; if not, I can't help wondering if maybe I'm supposed to do something else with my life. But I do hope that there is someone out there for me. <br /> Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-56084878433338427832013-05-28T08:55:42.908-05:002013-05-28T08:55:42.908-05:00Rejection in all its forms sucks, no way around it...Rejection in all its forms sucks, no way around it, but anytime you put yourself out there it's inevitable. Just don't drive yourself crazy imagining reasons they're not responding or not interested - you're a great girl and will make a wonderful partner for the right guy - hold strong to that knowledge and put blinders on to the rest of it. You can't go into dates worried about how it might or might not go - if he's right for you, it will go well, if he's not, it won't, but that's no reflection on your merits, so don't let your confidence get rattled before the relationship even has a chance to start, okay? <br /><br />I don't know if you pray, but doing so has never steered me wrong, and I wish I would've done it more often during my dating years.

I suppose it'll take some more time; based on my past experience, it was usually at least a few weeks before I ended up going on a date with a guy I met on an online dating site.

But it also reminded me of a devotional I received this morning as well. The title "Chosen". It says in 1 peter 2:9 "you have been chosen by God himself... " You are His princess, chosen to be His. Then in Psalms 139 it says He knows you intimately. So my advice look to God and seek who He wants for you. You are a beautiful Woman and should not settle for just any one. ( which clearly you aren't). Don't give up. And have a scoop of ice cream for me... lol. <br /><br />DebiConnecting to the soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880943173532146894noreply@blogger.com
