Not Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places

A recent posting on a friends timeline made me think of why I’m single.

I haven’t been looking for love on a dating website or in social gatherings. The one woman I was interested in didn’t seem to share that feeling.

Does it take both parties to be looking? Is she out there looking for me? Why hasn’t she found me yet? (see above)

Is it possible I met my soul mate and ruined the chance? Wouldn’t a soul mate accept me as I am and vice versa?

Will I keep asking questions?

I’m honestly jaded after my last two relationships because one woman was mean and the other would say one thing then do another. I did go on a date after breaking up with the second girlfriend but because of her actions I was  (over?) observant and critical.

I met this woman on Match.com and after several email exchanges, we went to a coffee shop. The conversation felt forced at times but I wasn’t going to let that be a final reason. It was when she wanted to go to lunch that I was cautious because I wasn’t going to pay for both us and didn’t know how to express that, eventually we agreed to go dutch.

Afterwards we were walking around Pleasantville and heard the music festival, again she wanted to go but tickets were pricey. I was more hesitant this time because I was beginning to feel that she was trying to take advantage of me. We bought our own tickets which resolved that. The festival was enjoyable but our conversations still didn’t have a natural flow to them. Maybe we were nervous, maybe we didn’t click.

It was when we decided to go to dinner and movie later that week when I knew that she wasn’t right for me. During dinner she wasn’t observant of the fact I had gotten my hair cut. We went to see ‘Beasts of The Southern Wild’ and afterwards we discussed it a bit. I won’t spoil the movie for you but my date seemed to want to argue about a fact in the movie. Even when I countered with all the examples given that were strong proof, she disagreed. This is when I thought to myself ‘Are you arguing just to argue?’ and felt that if I continued to date this woman it would have been more of this evening. When we got to her car I explained that I wasn’t interested and wished her the best.

I know that that shouldn’t be the reason for me to remain single but considering what I’ve dealt with over the years doesn’t make me want to try anytime soon.

The zombie alarm woke me up.

1 Out Of 1 PDT Recommends Cutting Down Sugar

I cut down on my sugar intake about 2 months by selecting foods with low to no sugar content and have lost weight because of it. Of course, Trader Joe’s debuts their version of the vanilla wafer right when I do. Checking the nutrition information on them 5 cookies has 6 grams of sugar so I bought a box.

I kept them in the freezer to “forget” about them but that backfired a bit since they seemed to be more delicious cold. I maintained my limit to one serving several times a week so I wouldn’t have trouble losing weight.

For a while I used a low sugar milk but it was bothering my stomach so I stopped. I also switched to whole grain wraps and bread. Bread will make you fat, but these are also low calorie and only have toast 3 times a week.

A recent article about yogurt not having any significant health benefits prompted me to start eating unsweetened oatmeal. Adding cinnamon helps but not much of a flavor boost.

Not to mention I do exercise.

I began to notice that I was eating cookies more throughout the week. It was when I’d have a serving when I got home from work, then an hour later another serving where I felt that my body was craving the sugar in them. When I finished off the last batch I didn’t buy another box to avoid the temptation. This prompted me to lose another pound last week.

Everything Is Awesome

I bought the LEGO Volcano Exploration Truck set yesterday because I could get Double Points and can't resist green bricks and big tires.

In this set, the female is the scientist who does the research and exploring. Back when I played with my Galaxy Explorer I always thought they were men even if their faces were gender-less. Granted the women have full lips and eyelashes but that only makes them stand out more.

Checking the other Volcano Explorer sets, they have almost equal number of men and women. Pretty cool that LEGO is doing this.

Weird Dream

In addition to telling you about my weird dreams, I’ll put the reasons I found it weird.

I was working at MetroPCS and was responsible for showing a former high school classmate the programs we use. (Weird = I rarely associated with this classmate, so why did they showed up in a dream?)

As we were going over the software, the person who had the desk right next to mine leaned over to show a feature and proceeded to drool over my hand. (Weird = every job, I worked in a cubicle, so why was my desk next to this guy’s?)

He then opened a big box of powdered donuts and got half of the sugar from the box all over my desk. As I began yelling at him for being disgusting and a slob, I woke up (Weird = I’m rarely confrontational in real life)
