11 years of Dating

My first official date was at 17.... my nose was buried in books before then. I didn't think love was important, I didn't even know what it felt like. I continued to carry this belief with me for many years until...I fell in love, the kind that hits you hard and fast. Shaking up your world and leaving a messy trail behind. My perspective completely changed, I became a cheerleader for love. 11 years later and with a lot of dating experience under my belt, I am at a cross road. My biological clock is ticking louder and louder as every year goes by but, I don't feel ready. Even though in my my family's culture (Peruvian that is) at 28 you are supposed to be married with children, (that's right CHILDREN...apparently I'm late for the party) I haven't found a partner to do this with. I promised myself if I don't have kids by 32 I will turn to science to help me.

All of a sudden, my dating purpose has changed. Dating has begun to feel like, looking for a pair of black leather pumps in the middle of summer. I recently jumped back into the dating scene after a long pause and ended up meeting "3 date guy" his name says it all. It only lasted 3 dates. I was honest, I said what I wanted even though I was afraid and he said what he wanted. It seemed like a good match. Then, all of a sudden I don't hear from him for a week. Now guys, just so you know if you don't call a girl in 7 or 8 days to her, that is the equivalent of 7 or 8 weeks and she thinks you died and has no interest in talking to a dead man. So now the story gets interesting, I have a friend that I'm interested in. He got word that I was dating and now I think he wants to be more than friends. We will call him "smoking hot guy", I look forward to seeing what unfolds in the coming months. Is someone new on the horizon for me or is "smoking hot guy" going to realize he has feelings?

  3. I'd like to jump on board and tell you love is great and IT IS, but it's overrated, especially in this society! People have lost what it takes to make & keep something meaningful so YOU GO GIRL! Date for me! Yes, I'm eager for the next episode of SMOKING HOT GUY! For now, I enjoy living vicariously through my friends :)

  5. Love is definitely something that is constantly changing and developing. You got some good writing skills in there and I'm enjoying it. Don't ever settle...and who cares about what our cultures mandate for us. It's the same for Indians too...we have to marry in our early 20s, and sometimes, before we even turn 19! To marry at an old age is taboo, and to marry someone younger than you is bad, although, religion for me, dictates otherwise, that you marry who you are meant to be with no matter what the age is, and where they are from. As long as the man is true to you and is a good person at heart, that's what matters (and looks too lol!).
