I don’t like to admit it, ’cause life can be lonesome without a date. Here’s the scoup, this morning I broke my resolution and smoked two packs of cigarettes. To ease the pain that comes from being alone, no less. Don’t judge me (j/k!). What does this mean? Well, that’s when I seriously looked into getting out to date in Denver or Dallas.

Easy solution. I can mix up my social life thru Great Expectations Denver. Definitely isn’t a bad idea. Here’s a story. We were at little Brent’s Easter egg hunt in Dallas two weeks ago, Mom asked me if I have settled down with that special someone. I don’t know why they even care. I didn’t want to answer, but then laughed, “No.”

No surprise that Cousin Terry doesn’t know when to quit driving home about my companionship situation. I quipped to all of them: “Hey look, my romantic destiny is right over there!”

Can you believe this? Everyone looked away and giggled. Quite promptly, I rang Margaret just to get some perspective. But I couldn’t get it out of my head! Nothing was helping and I needed some damn help. Chuck, who was just deployed on military commission advised that I enlist in Great Expectations. I said, “Sure, whatever.” Should have thought of it myself. I will never regret joining this Dallas dating service.

Early on, singles events and mixers were a novel thing because I’m a traditionalist of sorts. I was a bit nervous at first, and I was speechless at first. That slip up did not bring an end to the evening. The night was a happy hour not to forget. The gems of the occasion had to be the many enjoyable people I met, all available singles.

Appearing at these incredibly satisfying Great Expectations Dallas singles nights, I bumped into some great people who certainly share a parallel understanding which made for a magnificent singles event. Don’t know why I ever let my family give me a hard time about me not dating. Surprisingly enough, doing things in Dallas with Great Expectations is a good time and just what I’ve been looking for.
