I am so tired of blind dates. Well, I should probably rephrase that. I am so tired of only ever going on blind dates. I'm well aware that many people have met their husbands or wives on blind dates. I'm just really, really sick of blind dates being the only dates I ever go on.
These feelings were stirred up after work today when I turned my phone on after received a text from my sister-in law, telling me that she gave my number to their neighbors' brother that she's been trying to set me up with for months. This caused some initial blueness as I reflected that the only dates I seem to get are blind dates, but the real trouble started when I mentioned this to my mother and she replied that my aunt also had a young gentleman lined up for me. In fact, she had called my mom just the other day to see if I would be attending a family activity this weekend, so she could come up with a plan to get us to meet (for the record, I will not be attending that activity due to work).
That sort of put the nail on the coffin, so to speak. I know I complain about this all the time, but I would really like to discover someday how it feels to actually be asked out by a guy. I would like for a nice young man to decide, of his own accord, that he would like to take me on a date, and then ask me out. That is all. Is that so much to ask? I don't think so. I have yet to meet one man in my entire life who has expressed a desire to go out with me. That sounds rather sad, I suppose.
In addition, I don't particularly enjoy being the girl that everyone feels the need to set up. "Hey, you know how you're 26 and single? You're obviously perfect for this guy I know who is also 26 and also single." Compatibility is not based on being two single people who have reached the age of being a menace to society. That is all.
Here is the sad irony: no matter how sick I am of all these double dates, I must continue going on them. I'm clearly incapable of getting my own dates, and who knows? I could actually meet my future eternal companion on a blind date. I really should not be abusive of the blind date. I suppose I'm just tired of the connotations of being the girl who only goes on blind dates.
Grrrr. Well, oh well. Thanks, friends, for reading my little rant.
