I have started dating again in the last few weeks and it's decidedly a whole new ballgame. I'm thinking there has been some serious role reversal in the last decade. And I'm not sure that it doesn't have something to do with age...as in over 30...
For example, most often you hear of women professing their love for their current male companion way too soon in a budding relationship or trying to hard to define the situation as a relationship and scaring him away. This has happened to me twice in the last month. Once from someone I only met two days before, and once from a friend wanting something more than friendship. Since I was constantly stressing that word around him, he decided to take feelings into his own hands one night when he had more than a few beers = ) He's a nice guy though and he understood why I was not into the relationship thing right now. We remain good friends and talk often.
Now, how about those episodes of that show that takes place in NY, with four women friends and a certain male companion of the the main character and his commitment phobias? Like the time she tried to leave a simple toothbrush at his house and he brought it to her in a bag cause he thought she accidently left it there...
Maybe it's just me. Maybe my playing it "cool" is the key. Maybe because I'm not really interested in a relationship at this point, I'm giving off those "you can chase me, but you can't have me" vibes that I've been told men enjoy. Maybe it's the confidence I project because I'm not an insecure 20 something anymore that is wondering when/if/how she'll get married.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm enjoying the heck out of this. I love being single again!!!
