Dating is a new concept for me.
Going on dates as a couple - I'm well versed in that.
Going on dates as a single person - I have no clue as to what is the typical behaviour or social response.
I now find myself with guys replying to my profile (Okcupid if you're interested) and yeah the majority are dicks. But there's a few chosen ones who understand my sense of humour, who genuinely have an interest in talking to me and I'm surprised. I thought 'boobs' would be the attraction but apparently words can win a man over too!
So yeah, I find myself talking to guys who will eventually want to meet up, have a drink, create a special moment. And I'm wary. Not of being hurt again but of losing myself in someone, allowing them so close that when it does eventually detonate - I won't have the strength to get up and search for 'Mr Right' again.
Maybe I'm just scared. But who isn't?
Funnily enough, all I'm asking for (on my profile) is friends. I don't think I can handle a full blown relationship right now.
I think I'll just go back to creating stories and spare myself the drama.
