Well if you read last month’s article, you saw that Julie has retired to pursue other interests. I would once again like to thank her. If it were not for Julie, I would not be writing this article. A lot of my readers were wondering if I might be leaving to pursue other interests. I want to calm any fears by saying that all three of my books have already been published, and that all three have become best sellers. All kidding aside, I am not planning on going anywhere soon. As I read Julie’s column, I could not help but be excited for her. Here she was deciding what’s more important, dating to write this column, or move forward and pursue her dream. Kudos Julie!
All this has me thinking about some of the emails I get through my article. I am constantly being asked where to go to find singles. They also want to know why someone they had a nice time with does not contact them again. You can have a good date without having any attraction. There is no easy way to tell someone you are not interested. I have been on both ends of this, and it just seems the norm is to just not contact them again. Yes it may be the easy way out, but you do not want to date someone who is not interested in you anyway. Maybe like Julie, we should be concentrating on other aspects of our life. Just like Jim Carrey in the movie Yes Man, start saying yes to things you might have said no to in the past. You do not need a boyfriend or girlfriend to be happy. Happiness comes from within. Now I am not telling you to jump out of a plane, maybe just take that weekend trip you have been thinking about.
I also need to apologize to a very nice lady; that I had met for coffee a few weeks ago. The conversation was great; we were talking for over an hour and a half. Then a friend of mine walked by and called out my name. My mind went blank and it took a few seconds to remember his name. I then got up and introduced Nancy, my date, to my friend. We spoke only for a few seconds, so I would not appear to be rude. When I finally sat down, I looked at my date, and she stared straight at me, and asked, “Who was Nancy?” OMG, her name was not Nancy. Needless to say I did not see her again. This was a real learning experience.
