Good grief....Its all new to me....
If you have been reading my blog you will know that I have been single for the last 8 years. Through choice mostly...but after some of the train wrecks I have endured I thought it was time to take a break and find "me"....I was exactly where I left myself so that didnt take long (lol) then I must admit I began to like having a life to myself, where I didnt have to answer to anyone and could spend on my credit card to my heart and wallets content! I know I can survive just fine on my own but the last few years and losing weight, I am now getting a lot more attention from men than I probably have ever had in my life and I must admit...I LIKE IT!
So into the world of dating I am throwing myself again at the ripe old age of 40 odd!
It hasnt been all that bad...obviously I havent met Mr Right just yet but its been fun looking....lol. But it seems to me the rules have all changed now....Girls are a LOT more confident and forthright and I find that all a bit scary! Shouldnt men have to put a little effort into romancing you or have the confident girls killed it off? I expect effort....I still love flowers and texts for no other reason than to say hello....I like nice restuarants and live shows.....I like a man to be presented well and smell good....am I expecting too much in this age of the "Naughties"??
I have never been confident in this area, so the chances of me initiating a date is probably never gunna happen...I am a bit out of my league....LOL
So what are the rules these days? Should a girl approach a guy she likes? Or should she wait for him to do it? Is it really a world of meet..go home and have sex all in the same night? I am feeling old LOL
In the mean time I will keep kissing frogs and hoping for the prince LOL
Til next time...............xxxx
Hi Meegs! Dunno the rules either, being happily wed for nearly 24 years. I am of the opinion though, that nothing is better than being yourself - whether that's being bold and upfront, or not. All the best in your dating adventures. I hope you snag a good one who loves you for who you are and brings you breakfast in bed.
