Incommendation

Usually, I ignore my emotions, but dating games don’t “get” me. Here’s the scoup, this morning I broke my resolution and smoked two packs of cigarettes. On a weekend that comes from being alone, no less. You better believe it was great. What does this mean? Honestly, that’s when I first considered finding a date with Great Expectations.

Nothing that can’t be fixed. I’ll meet new singles with a matchmaking service like Great Expectations Dallas. Definitely never sounded better. Here’s a story. When I was a little tipsy at my boy’s t-ball game in Dallas last week, Richard had to know if I’ve bumped into a special lady. They always bring this up, every year. My response was, “I’m working on it, chill out.”

There’s nowhere to hide when Gramps kept pressing me about marriage. I said to the family gang: “Dating isn’t for me, but do you even know me?”

Can you believe this? They all laughed at me. Immediately, I called Dave just to get some perspective. But I couldn’t get it out of my head! It was more useful listening to my dad, which is never the case. Chuck, who recently moved to Italy advised that I sign up for Great Expectations. I said, “That’s what I was going to do.” Should have thought of it myself. I love this Dallas dating service.

Early on, dating events were new as I am a simple guy. I was a bit nervous at first, so much so that I got a little queasy. That mess did not pull the plug on us from enjoying ourselves. The night was a happy hour not to forget. The greatest most memorable part of it all was the other members, some who are my new friends.

It wasn’t long before I was regularly mingling at these amazing Dallas singles nights with Great Expectations, I got in touch with some great people who certainly feel as excited as I am while being in this kind of fun, sophisticated company. Now I can stop letting so many people get me down about being single. Astoundingly enough, dating with Great Expectations is a lot of fun and care-free social experience.

Now, I couldn’t characterize myself as terribly satisfied living alone and not crack a smile. But, I’m not uncomfortable with the reality of life, either. I only mention it on the blogosphere as an appetizing detail setting up the story I am about to explain in grand style.

This time last week I met for coffee with Stacey, pondering about joining a Dallas Singles dating service. Today, I type to the blogosphere as a fully satisfied member of the matchmaking service. For real, it’s true. It’s great! If you know me at all, you’re probably thinking, “You got some ’splainin to do, Lucy!”

Well, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and can really get behind their approach. They’re for the honest singles who care enough to know dating isn’t a game.

Because I’d never been interested in whatever it is that serial daters (ie: everyone I know) call “The Dating Experience.” I faced it more than anyone should. Each night readers ask, “Are you two serious yet?” and “Just get out there and date him!”

“Baloney!” I banter right back, without missing a beat. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”

“Not true,” they level with me. “That’s just an excuse for your cynicism.”

That’s just my friend (she’s the best) Sandy Wilson. She sets the best ideas to my mind to set me straight. Caring souls never fail for fresh advice. She made a good point, and I thank her for it.

Back to the theme of this essay. As I selected from thousands of quality singles for my first Great Expectations date, a revelation hit me honest. Over the last year, I hadn’t held too many figurative great expectations for dating and myself in the adventurous winding course of being alive. It’s good to be single, specifically if you use the freedom to date. Having great expectations does wonders on a cynics social life.
