You guys know I eschew drama, but I didn’t always have Great Expectations for my dating life. Here’s the scoup, this week I devoured what seemed like a pound of bacon. As a coping mechanism of loneliness, of course. I pretend to be ashamed about it. Am I crazy? Honestly, it’s when I first considered finding a date in Dallas or Denver.

No problem. I’ll meet new singles with a professional dating service, Denver Great Expectations. Definitely never sounded better. The reason I mention my dating woes: While eating corn on the cob at George’s graduation in Dallas yesterday, Richard wouldn’t get off my back about if I have yet to win my one and only. I don’t know why they even care. Anyway, I looked up at them and yelled, “that’s none of your business.”

And of course Gramps kept pressing me about my companionship situation. I joked to all of them: “Hey look, do you even know me?”

Can you believe this? They smiled politely. Immediately, I fell asleep that night because the dating pressure was too much. What a waste of time! I didn’t learn a thing. Chuck, who was just deployed on military commission advised that I browse the singles profiles at Great Expectations. I said, “You know, that’s a good idea.” See, everything always works out. I especially enjoy the Denver Singles Events at Great Expectations.

Early on, singles events and mixers were kinda foreign because I’m a traditionalist of sorts. This was all really foreign to me, that my hands started sweating. This slip up did not stop a great time. That night I enjoyed was bursting with excitement. The greatest most memorable part of it all was the honest, desirable singles.

There’s something great about going to these splendid Dallas singles nights with Great Expectations, I rubbed elbows with quite a few winners who certainly share a like-minded spirit while being in this kind of fun, sophisticated company. Don’t know why I ever let anyone give me a hard time about me not dating. Amazingly enough, mingling the Great Expectations way is a lot of fun and a remarkably refreshing dating experience.

Now, You couldn’t describe me as terribly happy being picky and be 100% truthful. But, I’m not uncomfortable about it, either. I only bring it up on the blogosphere as an ear-catching piece of info introducing what I am prepared to explain in grand style.

Last Monday I was walking the dog, Trisha, pondering about signing up for a dating service for Phoenix singles. Now, I write to each of you as a delightfully single member of the dating service. Seriously, and I almost don’t believe it myself! It’s great! If you’ve been paying attention, perhaps you’re thinkin’, “Stop blabbering and tell me about it already.”

Here’s how it went down, I looked at these Great Expectations Reviews and liked what I saw. They’re for quality and professional singles who think dating should mean something.

‘Cause I’d never been too big on whatever it is that a lot of singles have christened “dating.” I heard it more than anyone should. Every night people pester, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “Oh I know just the guy for you!”

“Ugh, and double ugh.” I reply, without missing a beat. “Have you seen what’s out there?”

“Not true,” they deadpan. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”

Leave it to my best friend (on a good day) hah! Patty McCarthy. She pours common sense directly to my core to put me back on course. People I depend on for fresh advice. She made a good point, and I thank her for it.

Back to the point of this blog entry. As I picked from thousands of combinations of outfits for my first Great Expectations date, a revelation hit me true. Over the last year, I hadn’t had any emotional great expectations for dating in the adventurous path of this world. It’s good to be single, only when you get out there and have fun. Embracing your own great expectations works terrifically for those who believe.
