New York Men Suck.

Millionaire Matchmaker Blames Selfish Guys for New York's Terrible Dating Scene

This post is in reference to the article I linked to above..a friend on Facebook linked to it and that's how I found out. I'm kinda glad I did too. I definitely believe what she said is true. There are plenty of guys in New York who want a relationship, want to have someone to share their life with but in my experience those guys are already in a relationship. Every single guy (single as in not in a relationship, not each one) I encounter does not want to have a girlfriend and doesn't know when they will "be ready" for one. I don't totally understand it. I mean, if you end up meeting someone who is great and you like their company what's the harm in taking that a little further? I think people just need to stop being afraid of taking a chance. Something that I like about Patti is that she shows how the problems in dating are shared by Men and Women. Just in case you think the article is bashing men, it really is not. She gives women some tips to open their minds as well.

Dedication To This Blog

So, I said I wanted to be more dedicated to this blog from now on. Not a resolution per se just something I want to do and know that I can accomplish. My problem is actually finding the time to write here. When I get home from work I don't usually turn my computer on. I like to use those few hours to shower, eat and unwind watching a little tv. When I'm at work, well obviously it's difficult because I'm supposed to be working. Which I am right now, I just have a little downtime so I decided to sneak in a post. And well, weekends aren't really a time I care to spend with my computer either. I'd rather find something to do outside, or catch up with whatever movie I have been meaning to watch from Netflix. If there is a Blogger App for my phone, that would be extremely helpful. I do a lot of my Tumblr posts from my phone now since their App is so easy to use. I guess we'll see what happens over time. I just need to get more organized. Either set deadlines for myself, or write up my posts the minute I have a new idea in my head.

Only Time Can Tell

I hardly believe I'm back in the stage of trying to forget about him..trying to forget my feelings for him. Just as quickly as things started up again, they kind of fell apart. And I'm sad to even mention anything, especially on this blog. But maybe if I get this out I won't have to speak about it again. Maybe this will even be the last time I try to convince myself that things are better this way. That it wouldn't work out anyway. Well, good luck with that. Things were back to how they once were until he "spoke too soon" and as much as I hoped it wouldn't change a thing, sometimes words can't be taken back. We both agreed it wouldn't change things and that it didn't have to but I noticed a change in him almost immediately. And I didn't think to remind myself to not get used to him again. But I have to admit that I'm gonna miss his kiss..his embrace..the text messages saying "I miss you"..and especially hearing him say "te quiero". Yup, that's the killer right there. And I know the saying that you can't miss what you never had should apply here but this was different. I used to also think that the third time was the charm but in this case the third time was a strikeout. At least I'm not afraid to move on, if mostly because I know I could use the distraction. But also, because I'm hoping someone else could help me forget.

Indian Giver

So, maybe Santa didn't get me everything from my list like I thought. It's okay though. I'm choosing to be positive and look at this as a good thing. I'm gonna stay in a good mood.

Bring on 2011

My Holiday season this year has been a rather exciting one (a bit of a sarcastic tone there). Since Thanksgiving there has been a whole lot going on but for me personally it's been a great time. I had the best Christmas I can ever remember having. I got everything on my list :-) and I really enjoyed the time I had off from work. From sleeping in, to spending time with family, to being with someone special I couldn't have asked for better. Oh yea, except for that blizzard that paid us a visit. All the snow really needs to be gone by New Years Eve so that I can make it to my festivities okay.. but I digress.

For the past year, or better yet the past two years, I have had my moments of negativity and of feeling stuck. I know that every year by the end of December people are talking about how great the new year will be and how much they are looking forward to the present year ending, or at least those of us who haven't had the best year are hoping it will end. I was feeling that way for a few months now. I still am very much looking forward to 2011 but despite a lot of ups and downs I had this year, it was a good year. Sometimes it got hard to be patient but I'm happy now. I'm hoping to make 2011 a year for new adventures, a new job, more money, moving out, more spontaneity and love & understanding.
