We All Date Differently

Some people date lots of people one time.

Some people kiss on the first date.

Some people have sex on the first date.

Some people don’t have sex until they marry.

Some people date to pass the time.

Some people date to not be alone.

You get the idea.

I myself?… I date for keeps.

I don’t want to start dating a guy unless I see long-term potential.  For me, it’s too hard to have people pass in and out of my life.  I want consistency, which means I, AT LEAST, date people who I can/will be able to remain friends with should we break up.

Sometimes I’m jealous of people who can date and “get physical” with people they aren’t sure – or anywhere near – they are going to marry.  Because sometimes I want SO BAD to get naked with someone and just surrender myself to them.  It’s a need to be close, a need for physical gratification, etc.

But I can’t (and won’t) do that.

So now with The Soccer Player gone, I am alone, alone, alone.  So very far from being touched by anyone.  It’s like a vacuum.

This is the down side to dating for keeps.  Because you don’t date people for keeps every other day.  Very few actually come along who you think… hmm… I really like you.  Let’s take this seriously.

Because at that point, folks, is when I would let myself get touched.  I don’t want any duffus feeling me up.  But someone I’m dating for keeps??  … Definitely.
