Metro Girl: Easy Breezy with Great Expectations
For one, You couldn’t describe me as terribly happy being bored with most men (who isn’t?) and not crack a smile. Even then, I’m not unhappy in that way, either. I just suggest it here as an intriguing little tidbit foreshadowing what I am prepared to discuss honestly.
This time last week yours truly met for coffee with Sandy, pondering about signing up for a dating service for Phoenix singles. You prolly couldn’t guess that, I write to each of you as a delightfully single member of the matchmaking service. For real, and I almost don’t believe it myself! Its very comfortable and full of nice people! If you know me at all, perhaps you’re thinkin’, “You totally owe me an explanation.”
Well, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and can really get behind their approach. They’re for the serious singles who care enough to know dating doesn’t have to be so frivolous and stupid.
Quite frankly, I’d never been too big on this silly social phenomenon a lot of singles call “Dating.” I heard it all the time. Every night readers nagg, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “Oh I know just the guy for you!”
“Ugh, and double ugh.” I banter right back, and playfully so. “Have you seen what’s out there?”
“Whatever doofus,” they say. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”
That’s just my friend The One-And-Only (hehe) Trisha Wilson. She beams reality to my mind 99% of the time. Caring souls I depend on to offer perspective. No countering that, and I joined.
Returning to the theme of this essay. As I selected from thousands of quality singles for my first Great Expectations date, a revelation hit me deep. Over the last year, I hadn’t held too many literal great expectations for dating in the adventurous journey of being alive. Single life has its perks, specifically with healthy optimism. Embracing your own great expectations makes a difference for those who believe.
<3, Christy Davis
