Hello everyone hasn't it been a fun start to the new year? I want to share some of the struggles I have had being back in the dating world.
I have been single so long I have hardly ever left the dating world ha.. ha..! I recently attended a fun singles "break your fast potluck" and had a very nice time. I was a little apprehensive to go at first but when I got there everyone was so nice and friendly. There was mostly women there but there was one older Italian man there. He was very brave to be there with so may women , never the less, he brought his home baked bread and joined in all the fun. What a brave soul.
Well, I thought the ladies there were so nice and I felt bad that there was not more men there for them to meet. So I really wanted to help them and make this singles pot luck a big success and draw a lot more people out to it. There are a lot of older single ladies that attend and I thought if they could only meet their prince charming wouldn't that be wonderful for them. Me included of course!! So I set out and did a lot of advertising and told everyone I possibly could. I made fliers, emailed a lot of single guys, contacted a few different wards, and called everyone I knew! I was just sure this was going to be the best most successful singles event ever. This was going to be my ticket and these other sweet ladies to meeting our soul-mates! I invited some cute guys and one of which I had previously dated. So I was so excited for the big event to start!
After that everyone started leaving. The guy I had dated (Glen) left early because his eyes were hurting. Then my girlfriend (Karen) the late one, decided I needed to email her phone number to the (Layton) guy I liked. So like a fool I did. Then my daughter (Cherise) says I looked too obvious by sitting right next to the Layton guy. So I got my feelings hurt.
To sum everything up I wish I could go back in time and start over! I just wanted to help us all meet some cute guys and why did I email my girlfriends phone number to the guy I liked??! So live and learn! I was just trying too hard to please everyone else! I hope I learned a very good lesson the hard way. I do not want to try so hard and go overboard and I want to please myself as well.
Stay tuned for more fun of dating through the eyes of a dissapointed 57 year old!!...Beverly
