So I had a brief break in the dating world because of my fabulous family reunion! It was so good to see everyone and even more wonderful to have my Aunt Laurie stay here at my house with her family. I love my family...and truly believe they are the best!!

Well I have hit the week back into the dating world hard...Tuesday was date #2 with the first and only guy I have been out with. The night was perfect...but our conversation had me thinking a lot about how I always tend to put all my eggs in one basket right away with guys. I really should date several and then narrow it down...but I don't! I honestly suck at dating.

So as the week went on I decided to really open myself up and consider going out with another guy that had been contacting me. After several conversations he asked what I was looking for. I responded by saying that I was looking for someone that would be my best friend...that I could eventually spend the rest of my life with. He responded by saying that he was looking for something significantly less serious. He then proceeded to inform me that he was looking for a friend with benefits. Well...nothing like being straight forward!! I informed him that I was looking for more of a commitment before I started handing out benefits! That was then end of that!

So that leads me to date #3 with the original. I don't know that I can say I know a good thing when I see it...because that has not proven to always work for me. But for now I like what I see. And when I really think about it...if I am looking for the rest of my life partner...I am hoping that I have a lot of time to get it right!!
