----EDIT----
Ro_ad and Jenni are good guessers!
I was inspired by Theo Dan's post about dates.
These are the years I've been on a date that I knew for sure was a date. This is not counting any times I've hung out with a guy and later thought, "Was that a date?"
I hate writing about my dating life. I don't even know why I'm doing it. Well, yes I do. Because in a moment of whimsy I posted the above and when I thought maybe I should delete it for my own sanity's sake, people had already commented, darn you!
Now before any of you well-meaning folk leave pity comments and virtual shoulder pats, I'M OKAY WITH THIS! I hate dating. Well, no, not really. Well, yes, actually. Crud. You see, it's like this: dates make me feel weird. I never know what to do or say or how to act or what to wear or anything. People say, "EVERYONE feels that way. NOBODY knows what they're doing." Except they seem to handle dates better than I do! lol
I'm awful at it. When I'm nervous or flustered, I get uncharacteristically indecisive and my mind goes completely blank. I will stare at a guy wanting desperately to talk to him...and then wanting desperately to just SAY SOMETHING to break the horrible awful (now entirely uncomfortable) silence.
Or, if I do manage to speak, I'll babble and say the STUPIDEST things! I still smack my forehead occasionally over some idiotic thing I said on the 2007 date.
I still feel inept over the blank-mind-staring-into-space-for-entirely-too-long moment from the second 2010 date.
OMG. I'm getting the jitters just reminiscing about all this. Shoot! I'm blushing! I can tell because my ears are burning up!
What I need is to move away, leave the country, build an amnesia ray gun, ...waitaminute...I don't need anything! I'm totally diggin' being a single chick. See what this is? Society brainwashes us single ladies (put your hands up!) into thinking we need to be putting ourselves out there. I'm not against dating, I'm just terrified of it. It freaks me out. But I also don't feel like less of a woman because I've not done it very often.
I have one very good reason why I don't stop being a tightass and just date people, already.
But I don't have time to write about it now.
Good job, Ro_ad and Jenni!
TTFN.
