One of the changes that I thought of making in 2012 (notice I say changes not resolutions. Resolutions are stupid.) is that I wanted to be more involved in church in some way. I used to be and I was always happier as far as the positive influence church and people at church had on me. So Leona and I thought we would attend Central, and although it is big, we would get involved in small groups, and specifically singles. Our version of “get more involved” was husband hunting. Well, come to find out the way God pushed into getting involved is actually committing to a tithe for the whole year. I always hear this message, no matter what church I go to. Especially the beginning of the year. And usually I up my “offerings” for a while. The difference is that a tithe (10%) is part of your income. I never feel like I really should commit and was pushed to do so yesterday. I even registered for two classes there. That is not husband hunting. I am laughing on the inside because our version of get more involved was to go to a couple single’s events and now we are looking at our finances and will be attending money related classes as our first step in to something other than Sunday services. What in the world is that about? But dessert and coffee are offered. So there is that.
Related to this, is my goal of ten dinners. Ten dates basically. They don’t have to be dinner. I can have dinner with the same person more than once. But it comes from my tendency to have dumb boyfriends. I like to date a guy twice then when they want to be my boyfriend, sure why not? I want to branch out a little. Meet new people. And yes, meet guys that will buy me a dinner. I want to go out on dates, and even if I don’t like the guy enough to make out with him, maybe form some new friendships. I need more guy friends. For like weddings and parties and other events that would be nice to have a male person to take. To be fair, all my friends could use my brother Seth in emergencies like these. I figure ten is a good number because that is about one a month. And it would be dinner, coffee, movie, whatever. My requirements are that it is a guy that has the possibility of a second date (so no random guys just to count it) and they have to pay. I think I got that last boyfriend because I was desperate for a boyfriend. And I really am not now. I want to just try and get some free food.
i saw this guy at BJ’s once. should i stalk him now?
Please do. He was cute. And I bet he would have played Othello with you.
I will be on the lookout for prospects. I want to help you reach your goals.
