When Dating Was Simple
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go. Louise Driscoll
Dating seemed a lot simpler back in the day of "gentleman callers", church bazaars, and meeting the neighboring farm for a picnic. Escaping for a quick moment, under a tree, to share mutual appreciation was thrilling and exciting! "OH, I DO declare!" she seems to be saying with her hands as she looks at him with admiration, respect, and equal longing. Today, there are so many paralyzing choices that we can't make up our minds! This quirk, that idiosyncrasy, too tall, too short, leaving no room for acceptance and forgiveness. Disposable. Sad. Guilty as charged. I've been in the dating world over 20 years, and based on results, I suck at it! I've either been too picky, too forward, ambivalent, or discouraged. But that is all past, you learn as you grow, you do better when you know better, and I'm ready for that special one, flaws and all! What are some of the reasons (you now see as dumb) you've stopped dating someone?
