dating

I guess it's been a quiet couple days around my apartment and at work. Nothing really exciting to talk about, exept maybe my weekend, really. I did go out to dinner with Angie on Saturday night, and even though it was a nice quiet dinner, we discussed our usual fanfare of topics. Anything from dating, to work, to family or to whatever may have occured that week that may need discussing.

We did talk about what it is with guys these days. We've both dated quite a few different guys, and have had our fair share of good and bad experiences. But, our conversations comes back to why it never works out, and what is with guys and relationships these days. It seems like when I was in college and started dating, if you liked each other, you spent time together, and just go with the flow. You slowly learn to figure one another out, and try to work the little kinks out. I guess life was simpler back then.

Now, as an adult with more resposibility, it feels like its gotten more complicated. Now, its about hobbies, religous preferences, etc. I feel like dating has become a marketing job. I have to market myself to get the attention that once just came freely out of thinking someone was cute or nice. Its a lot of hard work!

So, I guess I need to start marketing myself again. Yikes!
