I don't know about the "idiot" part, but you're definitely a savant in a lot of ways.

I date, I don't conquer.
I kiss frogs, blech. Tired of it.
I tell myself it's a process and it is. But I suppose I need to just take a break from it all. It can be very demoralizing and strange.
Althea, you know how I feel about the whole dating thing. The way I see it, if you just get out and do stuff in your life (which you do), the man you want will turn up. I'm not a subscriber to the "you have to kiss a lot of frogs" theory. It might make sense when you're younger and you don't really know what you want, but at this point, I think we are old enough to know.
I meet men just...around...church, choir, book store, wine store...work . You are an outgoing person; they are really not that hard to meet! It doesn't mean you have to go on a date with every guy you smile at or chat with for 10 mins.
In terms of *ahem* me (MEMEMEMEMEME), I still think things could work out for Mr. Hottie and me, but it is actually not a great time for me, either. In fact, I am kind of glad he needs to work some things out for himself, b/c it made me realize that I do too. I am still struggling with valuing myself, still looking for others to validate me. I have really got to get that under control if I want to have a healthy R with anyone, and not always be second-guessing myself. I wonder if you are in the same situation.
We are all in this together, sweets, and where is you are is just A-OK!
Love, N
