Not that I ignore my emotions, ’cause dating games don’t “get” me. Get this, merely hours ago I ate a whole bag of Oreos. To ease the pain while being single, no less. Don’t judge me (j/k!). What does this mean? Honestly, that’s the moment when I honestly looked into meeting new singles in North Dallas.

Easy solution. Figured I’d boost my dating life at this Dallas dating service. And it turned out to be my golden ticket. The reason I mention my dating woes: I was at my boy’s t-ball game in Dallas yesterday, Mom had to know if I’ve bumped into that special someone. They always bring this up, every year. I didn’t want to answer, but then laughed, “No.”

There’s nowhere to hide when The Old Tooter (aka: grandpa) chimed in about true relationships. I leveled to all of them: “I’ll be fine, you would bring that up.”

How can they be so rude? Everyone looked away and giggled. Quite promptly, I called Dave in hopes this loneliness would all go away. That didn’t help! I can’t imagine what I was thinking there. Billy, who was a fellow Ram in high school (go Rams!) suggested that I mingle at singles events by Great Expectations. I said, “That would do the trick.” I have some good friends. I am truly grateful for Great Expectations Denver.

When I started, matchmaking was kinda foreign because I’m a traditionalist of sorts. I’d never done anything like this before, so much so that I got a little queasy. A mere slip up could not pull the plug on the evening. The night was full of crazy-fun mingling. The host was incredible and I’ll always remember the many enjoyable people I met, all available singles.

It wasn’t long before I was regularly mingling at these incredibley satisfying Great Expectations Dallas singles events, I rubbed elbows with quite a few winners who clearly feel the same way I do when it comes to dating. I really shouldn’t allow anyone get me down about me not dating. Astoundingly enough, matchmaking the Great Expectations way is a lot of fun and just what I’ve been looking for.

Just Trying to Help

For one, Nobody can say I’m downright satisfied living alone and remain an honest woman. But, I’m not uncomfortable about it, either. I just mention it in this blog as an intriguing little tidbit foreshadowing what I am about to reveal to you

Last Monday yours truly was walking the dog, Stacey, thinking of joining a Dallas Singles dating service. You prolly couldn’t guess that, I write to my readers as a fully satisfied member of the dating service. Totally, and I almost don’t believe it myself! It’s full of fun, attractive people! If you know me at all, you may be wondering, “You got some ’splainin to do, Lucy!”

Here’s how it went down, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for the serious singles who think dating isn’t a game.

Because in all honesty I’d never been a fan of this silly social phenomenon serial daters (ie: everyone I know) have christened “The Dating Experience.” I got it more than you know. Every night they pester, “You’re still single? ” and “Just get out there and date him!”

“Baloney!” I reply, and playfully so. “Take a look around, I’m not missing much.”

“Don’t be silly,” they say. “You have no way to know that!”

Thankfully, that’s my friend The One-And-Only hah! Trisha Wilson. She pours reality to my brain to put me back on course. People you can trust . No countering that, so I signed up.

Returning to the meaning of this post. As I browsed from more than three hundred combinations of outfits for my first date with Great Expectations, a revelation hit me real. For the longest time, I hadn’t had the greatest of literal great expectations for dating in the adventurous journey of being alive. Being single isn’t so bad, even more so if you use the freedom to date. Having great expectations does wonders in dating.
