Global Premises

Not that I bottle things up inside, because I didn’t always have Great Expectations for my dating life. Here’s the scoup, merely hours ago I ate a whole bag of Oreos. To ease the pain while being single, for once. Yeah, I did it. Does that tell you anything? Well, it’s when I first considered finding a date with Great Expectations.

Easy solution. I’ll meet new singles with a matchmaking service like Great Expectations Dallas. Definitely sounds like a plan. Prolly wouldn’t be an issue, but it is. After practically choking down some of grandma’s potato salad at little Brent’s Easter egg hunt near North Dallas this afternoon, Mom had to know if I’ve met my one and only. At first I didn’t know what to say to that. I didn’t want to answer, but then laughed, “No.”

There’s nowhere to hide when Cousin Terry opining about my companionship situation. I joked to all of them: “Hey look, you would bring that up.”

You know what? They all laughed at me. Shortly after, I called Dave to put my dating woes behind me. Why can’t I stop thinking about this! It was more useful listening to my dad, which is never the case. My cousin, who was just deployed on military commission offered his opinion that I meet singles at Great Expectations. I said, “You know, that’s a good idea.” Should have thought of it myself. I am truly grateful for the Dallas dating service Great Expectations.

When I started, dating services were new as I am a simple guy. I showed up already a little anxious, and I was speechless at first. This mess didn’t stop the evening. The evening was bursting with excitement. The gems of the occasion had to be the many enjoyable people I met, all available singles.

I started going to these incredibley satisfying Dallas singles events, I met a handful of marvelous guys and gals who certainly feel the same way I do for how dating should be done. Now I can stop letting my family get on my back about living the bachelor’s life after all these years. Surprisingly enough, dating right with Great Expectations is a lot of fun and just what I’ve been looking for.

Lonely No More

On the internet - there are loads of internet dating advice for both men and women. Below are four steps to help you on your 1st date.

Step One -

Don’t act (pretend) to impress. You need to be yourself! If she sees that you’re just trying to impress her, she may lose interest. Try to pretend that she is just a acquaintance and you aren’t trying to win her over, and maybe you’ll be comfortable enough to more easily be yourself.

2nd Step:

Remember! 1st impressions definitely count. You have to make your date feel like you’re not a lousy or boring partner. You shouldn’t speak to much - and try to balance the conversation. Don’t just say yes or no to her questions, but you also do not want to state your life history either. If you just lecture about yourself, then you will sound extremely conceited and boring!

Third Tip -

Look confident on your first singles date. You want to make her feel like you are smart and amusing. When you speak, you need to sound capable, but not overbearing. Don’t make her not like you before she starts to know you! You don’t need to make your 1st date, your last date!

For my last point - you need to have fun with dating online! Try and forget your nerves, and concerns. Pretend like your not even on a date - but instead, merely hanging out with your friend. Hopefully your first date will be a unforgettable one.

Firstly, I cannot say I’m terribly comfortable being picky and not be lying. But, I’m not unhappy with the reality of life, either. I only mention it on the blogosphere as a delicious little tidbit introducing what I am about to explain in grand style.

Last Monday I met for coffee with Stacey, thinking of buying a membership to a dating service for Phoenix singles. Today, I write to each of you as a delightfully single member of the singles network. Totally, I am. It’s full of fun, attractive people! If you know me at all, you’re probably thinking, “You got some ’splainin to do, Lucy!”

Here’s how it went down, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for quality and professional singles who think dating isn’t a game.

Because I’d never enjoyed or even tolerated whatever it is that serial daters (ie: everyone I know) have christened “Dating.” I faced it all the time. Each night people nagg, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “Please tell me you two are dating.”

“That’s rubbish,” I reply, without missing a beat. “Take a look around, I’m not missing much.”

“Whatever doofus,” they level with me. “You have no way to know that!”

That’s just my friend The One-And-Only (hehe) Sandy Wilson. She sets rational thought directly to my core to set me straight. Friends never fail . No countering that, so I signed up.

Back to the point of this blog entry. As I picked from more than three hundred combinations of outfits for my first singles event with Great Expectations, I realized something deep. For the longest time, I hadn’t held any actual great expectations for dating and myself in the serendipitous path of being human. Being single isn’t so bad, only if you use the freedom to date. Having great expectations does wonders in dating.
