Quizzo

So, tomorrow night I'm going to quizzo.  I haven't actually clicked "I'm going" on the meetup thing.  I'll just show up again.  I'll probably just have like 1 or 2 beers and get some food and just hang out for a bit.  It's mostly just an excuse to increase my exposure to possibly meeting more people.

I feel like the more I go out, and the more I just bump into people, the more likely I am to actually meet a girl and then have that blossom into a relationship of some sort.

I'm still on dating sites, but those are just rough for sure.  And there's no one at work... everyone  I work with is already married and they all have a million ideas as to where to meet that special someone.  They try to tell you their own story.  Then I try to replicate that story...

And nothing.

"Oh, you have to go to this place."

I go.  There's not a single girl in the place.  All of them are married, and have kids.  Or at least have a significant other already.  Big fat rings on their fingers already with diamonds the size of your face.

"Well, have you tried going to this, or that?"

I try this or that.  I talk to one or two girls but they are not interested.  Or they were just about to be leaving.

"Maybe you need to go here.  Or there."

I try that too.  I mean, I just left yoga.  All of those girls are either married or have boyfriends, and the ones that are single?  They REALLY aren't interested in chatting.  It's that whole, one word answer.  You tell a joke and they don't laugh.  You ask a question and they just kind of give you an answer.  "That's nice."

So much for all of that.

Anyways, so tomorrow is quizzo.  Friday night is West Chester.  Sunday I'm going to see about going to this one event that is another food truck thing.  It's in central/northern NJ.  So we'll see about that.

Just have to keep going to events and things.  As well just have to keep at the dating site stuff.  Lots and lots of girls won't even give you the time of day.  Lots of them might respond with very short answers or give you that one word answer thing.

Just takes one girl though.  So, even if 10 thousand girls say no.  If just ONE girl decides to give me a shot.  That's all it takes to end up having it turn into the whole relationship thing and then the whole moving in together, and then eventually getting married one day and all that.

You know... The stuff everyone dreams about.  Marriage, house, kids.... Etc. etc.

It'll happen one day.  Just have to keep hoping and hanging in there until I cross paths with her.  Most of it is just dumb luck.  It's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time and then there she'll be and we'll just click.

For now I just keep going to events and starting conversations on dating sites that fizzle out.

She's out there somewhere.  And eventually, it won't fizzle.  It will just keep growing and going and our love will continue on and on until we end up doing that whole "I do" thing in front of all our friends and family and then we'll dance the night away at the wedding reception.  Just have to keep hoping!

So hey, who knows, maybe she'll be at quizzo tomorrow night.  And if not, maybe she'll be at one of the other events that I have planned.  Never know where any of us could meet "the one".  And you don't know when either.  They could be JUST around the bend, or I might not meet her for another 2 or 3 years.  So who knows.  Just have to keep going and doing and waiting for her to walk into my life no matter how much I wish she'd just hurry up and cross paths with me already.  Just have to be patient.
