Anchorage in August: It’s All Great Due to Great Expectations
I cannot say I’m exactly comfortable as an “independent” (aka: naturally single) person and not be lying. However, I’m not unsatisfied in that way, either. I just suggest it in this blog as a delicious piece of info setting up the story I am prepared to unravel!
Last Monday yours truly met for coffee with Stacey, pondering about joining the Phoenix Great Expectations dating service. Today, I sit to you as a surprisingly pleased member of the singles network. Totally, and I almost don’t believe it myself! I like it! If you’ve been paying attention, you may be wondering, “You totally owe me an explanation.”
Here’s how it went down, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for the serious singles who care enough to know dating should have a point.
Quite frankly, I’d never enjoyed or even tolerated what a lot of singles so aptly entitled “Dating.” I faced it all the time. Every night readers pester, “You’re still single? ” and “Just get out there and date him!”
“Ugh, and double ugh.” I banter right back, without missing a beat. “Have you seen what’s out there?”
“Not true,” they level with me. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”
That’s just my sister (she’s the best) hah! Stacey Feldman. She sets rational thought directly to my core to put me back on course. People you can trust for fresh advice. No countering that, and I joined.
Back to the meaning of this post. As I picked from thousands of quality singles for my first Great Expectations date, I realized something deep. Over the last year, I hadn’t had the greatest of actual great expectations for dating and myself in the adventurous winding course of being human. It’s good to be single, even more so when you get out there and have fun. Embracing your own great expectations does wonders for a caring soul.
