Putting yourself out there...

I was looking at my last entry from almost a year ago and my insight on dating has changed...for the better? In retrospect, I think I lacked insight into the dating world a year ago. I think I was naive. Trusting. And hopelessly optimistic. Although at the moment I feel none of those attributes to the dating world and men, getting thrown into the dating scene still gets me excited.

Ever since the big 2-6, I have been taking a lot more risks when it comes to dating. I have to admit that this is all from dates derived from the internet but they're dates, nonetheless. In the last post, I was sweating bullets because a guy wasn't calling me back after, what I know realize, was a lack luster date. It lacked chemistry. Flash forward to my current days, I can now identify when I date is leading nowhere. I do have to admit, however, that I am having troubles establishing if I am being put into the friend zone or a lover zone...but that's another post. I think the main point here is that I would have never gotten to this realization of a bad date if I never put myself out there and tried dating. Am I frustrated with the dating world? Yes...but it's something that I can always improve on and get better at. Learning's fun anyways.
