It has been 55 days since I began my Modern Romance posts that is 35 day short of the planned 90 days. The dating rules are working, and I have had great dating experiences. I only wrote about four of them, but I met lots of great people, and I found that dating is a fun with the right mindset. I also found that some of the people that are the most worth knowing take time to get to know. Along the way, I got to hang out with a guy that I had been attracted to before I started giving other guys a chance, and I found that he really wasn’t that interesting. He is a good guy, just not my guy. With my new perspective on dating, I didn’t try to change or force something that wasn’t there. In short, I am not stopping the Modern Romance blog series because of bad experiences, and no it is not coming to the end because I am riding off into the sunset with someone special.
It is coming to an end because I have simply grown tired of it. I have all of these ideas that I want to write about. I want to focus my heart and energy on three things – 1) The Birds 2) My career 3) My friends and family. In my personal time, I want to find a new church, join a volunteer organization, finish my book and go on a vacation all by myself. Something that actively dating has taught me is that I love my single life. I want to live that life to the fullest.
I am not sitting with regret that I have neglected to do this in the last 6 years since my divorce. I appreciate that I had a great deal of healing, learning and rebuilding to do. I also appreciate the fact that I have learned so much, I have healed, and I have rebuilt my life. This will be the shortest blog series that I ever write, now it is on to the next adventure.
