The Dating Game & Various Pursuits

[kybearfuzz]

For years I yearned to get into the dating game after watching my siblings go through it growing up. I never realized what a mess it can become.

On the drive home, I happened behind a Toyota Camry with two bear paw stickers and an HRC sticker. I thought to myself, I have to see the bear driving this car. Like an absolute idiot, I followed the car into the KMart parking lot. He pulled into one space, I pulled into the one in the other row and waited to see who got out. Well, he was about 60 and swished his way to the front doors. How pathetic have I become?

I drove through the parking lot to my gym and ran for two miles to help vent some stressful energy from work. Drenched in sweat and tired, I walked on wobbly legs from the cardio area towards the locker room and noticed that the person walking in front of me looked kind of familiar. It was a date from last month, the one who kept telling me about his trainer, the one I told I just wanted to be friends with. At least he was telling me the truth about the trainer, but I didn't feel like going through the awkward drama of running into him, so I waited until he turned the corner and I went into the locker room to change. I rolled my eyes at my behavior and was happy to exit the gym.

For all of you who have that special somebody, I envied you today especially. Today I truly felt like a character in a badly written sitcom, serving mostly as a warning and comic relief to others. Ah, where oh where is my theme song....

Heh heh... Love the icon.

Ahhh, you're not a loser, though; it just means you're human. *HUGS*

I'm glad you are amused... you ain't no loser though! Nor are you pathetic.

I'm just as bad. I prowl the grocery store to see whom might be of good eye candy and ya never know whom you may meet. ;-)

Also, I keep hoping I'll run into Dorian, the guy I met briefly last month while we both walked home from the same grocery store.

And I also see who's driving and definatly notice anyone with any cute facial hair and sometimes I'm not surprised as what I see.

But alas, no one special as of yet. :-(

At least you can look back on it with a little humor.

For everytime I'm cruised a guy only to find out he's not all that to write home about I've also crusied a guy and fallen totally in love with, at least from afar. Don't be too hard on yourself. You're not pathetic, just human.

I've sooo followed cars w/ bear stickers only to be....ummmm...disappointed.
Even worse...now there are these new b/w stickers...the kind that usually have the initials of foreign countries on them...except they say "WOOF." I was speeding to catch up to an SUV the other day to see the hot woofiness inside, only to see that they also had three or for other DOG related bumperstickers on the back. and a vanity plate that said DOG-DOC or some shit like that. Some Stepford Wife veterinarian. Not a lick of facial hair.
*sigh*

*hugs*

Yes it's complicated... and mind you, sometimes those nice couples are together for all the wrong reasons. I'd rather wait for someone i really want to date. I'm in no hurry, my last date was 2 years ago, and he became a great friend of mine.

You don;t have to feel bad just because sometimes you wonder why you feel everybody else has something that you seem to lack of. This happens, because we compare ourselves with everybody else at certain point. It's just a fact, nor good, nor bad.

You are a great guy(inside and outside), and well, you have LOTS of people out there yet to know. So just sit back, relax and enjoy this trip.

On some other happier news I'm finishing the design of my teletransporter so I can take you out on a date whenever you want!

Hold on until I show up at your door with some chocolates in a flash of light!

hmmm... don't think that someday when you *do* have a special someone (cause I know you will :) you won't still do silly things like see a hottie in the grocery store and change your entire shopping pattern and proceed to make sure you run into him on every single aisle and if he changes his pattern you will change yours and he will never ever ever get away cause you want just one more look cause he's so hot and you will peruse the dill pickles while secretly looking at him even tho you don't like dill pickles.

Or is that just me?
