To Be Hopeful in Trusting and Cleverly Suspicious

A wonderful life-twist has sent me twirling through a garden of varying aromas... some that leave me breathing more deeply, while other odors subtly tamper with my gag reflexes. My reemergence into the world of dating has truly been eventful.... leaving room for several stories that leave 'The Girls' laughing for hours. Having met several different eligible bachelors, they have all tended to be on the older side, confident side, wealthier standing, diverse professions/upbringings, interesting hobbies, and my reaction to all of them has been: utter amazement! Utter amazement in how hysterical they all.... we all are! I will bring you into pieces of my dating life so as to spare/share the lessons I have unintentionally-unregrettably gained in these last months.

Lesson #1: The older we become, the differences between men and women only magnify!!! As of late, I have found this to be a huge source of entertainment. I love that we think, breath, look, eat, prefer, perceive, reason differently. Though this reality can breed frustration, it is always met with luring curiosity.

My latest scenario sent me reaching into my primal-uncensored bag of protective honesty..... or what we can call..... sass at its best. After 4.5 years of trial and error.... to be hopeful in trusting and cleverly suspicious is the only way... as of now.

So, when you've met your match and are fidgety from confusion.... simply copy my e-mail word for word.....

"Honestly...... I think we're just two very busy people who are looking for two very different things. Though this has had it's share of fun, I think it's time we jump off this Bachelor-audition. I'm always down for hanging out but just wanted to clear up the confusing ground we're standing on. Have a great Memorial Day weekend-"

For the record, this latest man definitely left me breathing more deeply.

Perhaps.....

Another time another day another garden.
