I have contemplated before posting about my adventures in dating. In fact, I've ever posted about it...changed my mind and taken the post down. But I think I truly need to vent about it. I mean, I realize I've only put myself back out on the dating market in the last month or so...but still. I don't want to be on the dating market for ages. But I also don't want to settle. So apparently I have to go through a lot of people who aren't right for me to find someone who is.
I also realize I'm not the only one who thinks dating is hard. Because I'm pretty sure it is for everyone. It's hard when you get rejected by someone you like. It's equally hard to tell someone who really likes you that you don't feel the same way. Especially if there are things about that person you really like....but you just don't feel attracted to them.
I have another problem though that compounds the whole "dating is hard" bit. That is...I'm not a skinny little minx. I'm almost 6 feet tall and I have a big structure and I'm overweight. Of course, I'm working on the weight thing (I'm ALWAYS working on the weight thing) but it makes dating hard. I know I'm an attractive person but my struggles with weight really tug on my self confidence levels.
*Sigh* I guess I shouldn't even be focused on dating right now. I have a week and a half left of school in which 3 weeks of work must be crammed into (and I keep putting it off). And in 3 weeks (holy crap!) I'll be leaving for my Italy trip. So dating should be the last thing on my mind...right? Right...of course. No time for men. Unless they're tall, handsome Italian men. Yup, that's what I'll just keep telling myself. Like a mantra or something.

I can totally relate. I think most of us can. I bet if you put a post about dating up, you'd get a very positive reaction.
