So part of being single is going on fun and exciting dates, sometimes several within a week. When you finally meet someone who you actually like instantly you look forward to going out with them and having an amazing time. I must admit I stopped going out for awhile because I was either meeting men who I didn't connect with or not meeting men at all! However, recently I met a man and he seemed to be everything that I wanted. He's intelligent, handsome and a Moorehouse College man.
Now for those of you who don't understand what that means .....please let me enlighten you. In college you would often hear girls talk about different men on different college campuses. One of those college campuses happened to be Moorehouse and the men there had a certain reputation. They were known for their intelligence, aura and style. So as you can imagine I was excited about the possibility of us connecting. I had already been on a few dates and had an amazing time each and every time we were together.
However, one hot Saturday summer night I was all ready for our day together but to my surprise his phone was off or maybe he just want taking calls. My heart sank when I thought this man was possibly standing me up. I stared at my phone, checked my social media accounts , only to find nothing. I was crushed. After staying in the bed all day and watching crazy Lifetime movies, I decided to pull myself together throw something on and take myself out. While out I called one of my close friends, who came out to meet me for dinner. As I sat there with a sad face slowly drinking my margarita, she put it all in perspective. She said, "Girl that man owes you nothing and sure you may be sad because he hasn't answered his phone but the two of you are simply dating."
My friend is very wise and added, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket for a man you just met. Yes you may like him lbut that's the beauty of dating ... You can date a few people at a time and then make a executive decision when the time was right."
Immediately I started to feel much better. She was right. Yes I was sad and discovered one of my biggest weaknesses. When I start to like someone I really fall hard. I need to simply just date with no expectations and if we are suppose to be..... then we will be. I will say that I hope to hear from Mr. Moorehouse just to know that he is ok. As for our future, only time will tell. Whatever the case I think I'll continue dating and learn to have fun with the process.
