Sometimes I feel like my love life is just one big date. This has been my daily routine; I wake up and go to school or work. Either on my way to school/work or in school/work I meet some girl. She is usually attractive and has some sort of quirkiness about her(taste in music, style of clothing, personality, etc, etc). The thing is I never go up to these women myself, they come up to me and start talking to me. We then exchange phone numbers and I talk to her throughout the week and I end up going on a date with that girl the following weekend(movies, dinner, whatever). We do our "thing" and then I never hear from her again. And then I go back to school/work on Monday and meet another girl and the cycle continues. I know, I know, you're thinking "Awww poor Jon Jon, what a big 'problem' he has!" and I bet you're laughing your head off because you can't even begin to believe that I'm complaining about something most guys would kill for, but before you fall off your computer seat laughing let me explain. Well, I'll be honest with you I used to really dig this weekly routine, okay not dig, I used to LOVE this daily routine. Meeting girl after girl was an adventure for a little while, but just like every adventure it has to have an end. And at the end I'm usually supposed to get the girl, except in my case it keeps getting rewinded back to the love scenes. I guess all that I really want is someone to just be there, or, at least just to call me back. Sure, I have a long list of names of potential girlfriends. Sherry, she's great but she has this thing about her laugh...I just don't like it. The laugh is very important to me. If the girl doesn't have a cute laugh then I just can't imagine being with her. There is Joyce, she's sexy and very sweet, but I think all she would be to me is a trophy girlfriend. Someone I could parade around in public saying "Hey look my girlfriend is cuter than yours." I was never good at bragging. Then there's Janice, she's an awesome and fun girl but she's the type of girl that says she's is independant and doesn't need a man and then goes out and spends all of my money. One time we went to the movies and I asked her if she wanted something to drink, she said water, so I asked the cashier for a cup of water and then she looked at me and said "No, I want the bottled water. It tastes better." I plunkered down five dollars for something you can get for free. If I'm not mistaken missy water tastes like water no matter where the hell you drink it from. It's water! I don't know maybe I'm just looking for flaws in women, or maybe I'm just afraid that they'll start to see mine. Eh, maybe I'm the type of guy that says he wants commitment and a relationship just because it sounds good on paper. Just like Communism. Maybe all I want is a democratic type relationship where I have a say in where the state of the relationship is going. If she votes to leave me I can argue against it and maybe win. Or at least pro-long the argument and maybe get the majority to agree with me and maybe even vote to raise our salaries . Democracy; you get so little done in such a vast amount of time...gotta love it. I don't know, maybe I just think too much. Or maybe I'm just waiting for a second date. Maybe one day I'll get that second date and maybe one day I'll stop complaning so much. "Love is one big maybe son." my dad would say. It may be. |
