About the whole dating thing...
I have only dated two guys since breaking up with my ex three months ago...but it seems like dating kind of blows! What the hell do you talk about! Really! I just get bored with the whole getting to know you process- is it just me? Is it because I am newly single? The guys were attractive- one was REALLY handsome! I just got bored. I didn't care about how many siblings they had, where they had traveled to- I just felt claustrophobic and wanted to leave the restaurant to make out with them or listen to loud music or whatever. Anything but eating with a complete stranger- even if he is hot. AND- I get so bored that I get nervous- and when I get nervous I can't eat so then I start to worry that they might start to think I have an eating disorder or something (I hear men hate it when women don't eat very much on dates...). I need to figure out how to avoid these situations in the future. I don't want to be too forward or disagreeable- if a guy asks me out and he seems interesting, I want to say yes- but they are ALWAYS for an outing to EAT! How do you say, "yeah- I want to see you but let's skip dinner and go climb a sand dune, bring along a bottle of wine and make out." Does anyone else feel this way about the first few dates / getting to know you process? Am I just a freak or not ready to date yet?
