off to a good start

I love it that life is still full of surprised.

Went out Sat night. Usually, I go out w/just girlfriends. Last night was the first time that I went out with another woman and a whole bunch of guys...her friends and their friends. Never again. Receiving male attention has never been a high priority, and last night was a surprise reminder that I don't ever need men to compliment me or try hard with me to complete a night out.

These guys were out to meet women. I was just in the way of their game.

I don't go out to drink and meet people. I usually go out in order dance, as a form of sport. I usually dance until I am so sweaty that no guy wants to get close anyways. Well, I didn't break a sweat last night. Is that why I got bored and left early? Just wasn't having fun after a couple of hours. Glad I bowed out gracefully w/o compromising my experience or ruin anyone else's.

Another big surprise is how much I love the movie Atonment. The movie was beautiful. I can't relate to all that emotional stuff, so it was like going to the MoMA. I don't always get it, but I can appreciate it.

The third surprise is how all the uncertainties are so easily resolved. Appreciation to everyone who chimed in; I feel very cared for. Ironic that it was a bunch of guy friends and male cousin who gave the biggest support. In summary, people always reveal themselves to me eventually, and I just have to make the obvious and easy choices. Who says dating is complicated? It's only hard b/c we make it so.

2008 is off to a roaring start. I am so excited about where things are right now. Let me just capture this high of being completely happy and remind myself that it does get easier!

glad to hear you have your issues resolved. :) you're absolutely right! so many people make their relationships hard when it doesn't need to be that way.
