As a single girl looking for love, it is all too easy to believe that what worked for someone else will work for you. And for every story you hear from a happily paired off friend, you have another opportunity to put unfair expectations on a future dating prospect, and of course you create an opportunity to be more disappointed than you would have been otherwise.
And it makes it even harder to remind yourself that any man who drops you faster than a burning match isn’t the type of person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Obviously this was spurred by an encounter with a guy, or rather an anti-encounter? What do you call a situation when a guy totally ignores you? When I met him, the circumstances eerily echoed those of a friend of mine who has been with that same girl for over a year now. I really think that it led me to have unrealistic expectations. I think I wouldn’t have been nearly so jazzed about him if I had just met him in a coffee shop or at a comedy show or something unrelated.
So, happily paired off people, please stop telling me your love stories and giving me unrealistic expectations…
Not really!! I love love stories; they give this single girl hope. And unrealistic expectations… Until I meet the right kind of guy that makes them entirely realistic.
Right?!
