Dating 1,2,3

Okay girls, here it goes. This is the beginning of my dating adventures. I think it will be fun to do a blog about my dating and social life. Which I hope picks up or this will be a very boring blog. haha So to start this new blog, I'll share with you what happened last night.

As in Sunday Mormon tradition, I was invited to a game night. Since I'm new to the valley of the Sun (that is in the dating world) I try to go to every possible invite just to meet people. Last night was one of those nights. Game nights are always interesting. What type of people are going to arrive? Who's house am I going to? Is "the one" going to be there? Do I come dress up? Do I wear high heals? Hair up or down? Lip gloss or lip stick? Skinny jeans or dress? Oh so many questions and none of the answers really matter. That's the difference when you're dating at 29. You realize it doesn't matter and you move on.

So we arrive at the designated casa only to find we are the first to arrive. No big deal, I guess it is Mormon standard time. 1 hour later the house was full. I ventured off to play a game called Bananagrams which is like scrabble but individual boards. The highlight from that game was they guy who spelled tits and cialis. Then the guy who kept saying, " umm that's a proper noun!" As if any of us knew what that was. All in all it was fun. The group of guys I was with were cute and funny. Except the tits and noun guys. Which then leaves two. Let me say that again. Two guys at the table were cute and funny.

A man complimenting me says," Shana your hair is like a blonde explosion. I really like how you matched your jacket with the white stripes in your shirt and how your yellow high heals match that yellow stripe in your shirt. You look really nice." Now, who says guys don't notice?

Dating this time around is much easier, but still frustrating. You still have to find that Prince. A great friend of mine reminds me, "Shana, it just takes one!" Okay, I know. But why do I need to date 50 to get to one? Doesn't make mathematical sense, does it?

Good to hear what you're up to. It's fun to read what the dating life is like from your perspective. I can imagine it would be fun but also frustrating. You have such a fun personality I'm sure it won't take you long to find your prince.
