Dating in Dallas....

Update: I completed my 24 hours of solitude- which according to my friends is more than enough time to get over a breakup lol. 



Upon completion- I have since ventured into the world of happy hours! Called up one of my sorors headed and headed to Plano. I figured that if I am to meet someone I must get out there. So I did.  Had a good time, not too much pressure on myself and just chilled out, did not try too hard and voila! 2 numbers and a possible date. 

This morning while deciding to write this particular blog... I ran across a recent article about dating in dallas. It was quite true and entertaining. We have limited date night options besides eating- there are no beaches, mountains or lush green areas. Since we have to eat- most restaurants offer you the down home, southern fried, BBQ sauce dipped, tex-mex options in very large portions- talk about gaining weight if you are on the dating scene. Not to mention the guy that works in a call center making 15/hr calls himself "Account Manager" Thank you corporate America and your exasberated Job Description titles for helping them fake it better! So you think you are going out with a successful guy who is management, nope its just Eric in the call center. Everything is BIGGER in texas, we can afford to stunt a lot easier than new yorkers or californians... we just can... thanks for being a liberal red state!


So what is a girl to do while dating in dallas? Solution: Go to different happy hours everywhere! Meet new people, expand my horizons and if you go on a date- eat a salad lol.  All in all I am happy to report, that I am on my way to "GETTING OVER HIM" There is no time frame on how long it will take to get over a heartbreak. Yeah I still get sad when things remind me of him- but we made memories together. I cannot hole myself up in my suburban apartment and expect to be engaged next year! So ladies, get out there, be your best you, never compromise, never settle.

Let the Dating Games begin.... 
MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR

Single But Ready: Greater is Coming

So I am up doing some grass roots research into pursuing some passions of mine... hair and fashion.  While texting a guy who is interested in me. And it hit me. I am ready to date again! Finally. Lordt I thought I was going to be stuck in that negative stage forever! By the way the title of this post is inspired by a podcast that I listened to- that helped get me through entitled: Single But READY.. check it out it is eye opening. So if you read some of my post from the August/September period you will note the harping of the breakup and my efforts to rebound date. Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in m...

Travel Chronicles- Hot Springs, AR

Wonderful- Wonderful- Wonderful trip. Very relaxing- great small town feel. Where did we stay- "The Springs Hotel" Ok so we could have chosen a better hotel but it was cheap and "on the strip" Right near the national park and walking distance from most of the other sites. This hotel was archaic but what do expect from a 3 star hotel that raves about dead visitors lol.... it looked like a haunted hotel, the bed had a quilt that looked like my great great grandmother created it, no microwave or fridge, the outlets had rust coming out of them- not sure how safe that is, no hair dryer and one chair in the corner that was forest green- but hey we were not there for the hotel. Things to do: Hike in the national park- we took the "Dead Chiefs Trail" I was tired but bae on the other hand was Mr.Dora The Explorer. We ran into the old navy hospital turned asylum and it looked haunted as well. There is a theme going here. But there were small pockets of hot sprin...
