Not that I don’t like to admit it, ’cause I didn’t always have Great Expectations for my dating life. Here’s the scoup, merely hours ago I ate a whole bag of Oreos. To ease the pain of loneliness, surprise! Yeah, I did it. Does that tell you anything? Honestly, it’s when I honestly looked into dating again in my new hometown.

I already knew the solution. I can mix up my social life at a professional dating service, Denver Great Expectations. Probably never sounded better. Here’s a story. While eating corn on the cob at my boy’s t-ball game near North Dallas two weeks ago, Richard started bothering me if I’ve found the woman I’m going to marry. They sure have nerve. I didn’t want to answer, but then laughed, “I’m working on it, chill out.”

Even “The Twerp” (my nephew, age 9) mindlessly kept jabbing me on the topic of my companionship situation. I leveled to each of them: “Hey look, you would bring that up.”

Do you have any idea what happened next? Each one of them scoffed. Quite promptly, I emailed my astrologist because the dating pressure was too much. That didn’t help! I didn’t learn a thing. Nina, who is now a Budist monk or something advised that I meet singles at Great Expectations. I said, “You know, that’s a good idea.” But it really was a good idea. I can speak highly of Great Expectations Dallas.

Early on, matchmaking was kinda foreign from my perspective. This was all really foreign to me, that I noticed I wore mismatched socks by accident. That emotional anxiety couldn’t stop another incredible Great Expectations event. The evening was a happy hour not to forget. The gems of the occasion had to be the other members, some who are my new friends.

There’s something great about going to these splendid Dallas singles events, I got in touch with a collection of dynamite friends who I could tell feel as excited as I am while being in this kind of fun, sophisticated company. Now I can stop letting so many people get on my back about me being single at my age. Wonderfully enough, dating in Dallas with Great Expectations is enjoyable and just what I’ve been looking for.

You couldn’t describe me as downright comfortable being picky and be 100% truthful. But, I’m not unsatisfied about it, either. I merely mention it in this blog as an appetizing personal tidbit setting up the story I am about to unravel!

This time last week yours truly met for coffee with Corey, thinking of buying a membership to Dallas Personals site. Now, I sit to my readers as a happy member of the singles network. Totally, and I almost don’t believe it myself! I like it! If you have read my old blog, you may be wondering, “You totally owe me an explanation.”

So, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for the honest singles who think dating should mean something.

‘Cause I’d never enjoyed or even tolerated the ridiculous nightlife ritual a lot of singles have christened “Dating.” I heard it more than you know. Each night people pester, “You’re still single? ” and “You should date!”

“Baloney!” I reply, without missing a beat. “Have you seen what’s out there?”

“You’re as ridiculous as you are hilarious,” they level with me. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”

Leave it to my best friend (she’s the best) Trisha Holland. She pours rational thought to my mind to put me back on course. Friends never fail for fresh advice. She made a good point, so I signed up.

Returning to the message of this post. As I selected from more than three hundred outfits (hah) and desirable, honest singles for my first date with Great Expectations, something occurred to me that was quite honest. Over the last year, I hadn’t held too many figurative great expectations for dating in the fun-filled journey of this world. Being single isn’t so bad, only when you get out there and have fun. Holding great expectations works terrifically for those who believe.
