Unlike _ref_, I have take myself off of the dating market. I've had enough of relationships for a while, two very unsuccessful relationships in one year is plenty, thanks. Of course, I've met a trail running girl who seems perfect for me. She's only living here until mid January. Ugh.
OftenBen gave me a lot of encouragement. What with planning to move out of state in about 6 months, part of it feels like it could be a little silly -- the whole dating thing, I mean. But hey...it's about time I tried actually trying, even if it is practice-trying.
Hah, I'm on the other side of that circle. Spent enough time trying this year and gave a much greater understanding of my wants and needs...which is a lot longer conversation but boils down to "no dating unless I meet a mountaineer or trail runner who's my age bracket and single."
