Before the date:
“Do I look pretty enough? Will he think I’m attractive?”
“He better live up to my expectations to be worth the time…”

We didn’t really agree on certain points. Hold Check.
It really was quite dark. May be I’ll wait till the second date to see if he’s all that. May be check.

Interesting blog you have here I must say.
Maybe you’d like to try and stop looking for the man of your mother’s dream.
Looking for love is akin to searching for your damm keys which got lost in the house. The more you search, the more frustrated you become and you’ll end up tearing your head off because you can never seem to find it!
Love is a mysterious thing I would say. It strikes you in places beyond your imagination and when you least expect it.
So my dear friend, kick back and enjoy the birds, the bees and everything in between. Your damm keys could well be just parked right next to you, if only you could just sit down and chill!
Cheers!
Hey Jordan,
Thanks for the comment! Yknow what- i’ve been thinking the exact same thoughts
As much as the header Looking For the Man of My (Mother’s) Dreams was created as a joke, I do think that’s what it’s become unconsciously!
*Mental Note* Think Less, Enjoy More!
