Company


            This past weekend, I let my guard down and slip my lips back into the place of my past.
Not understanding the barrier of what two ex.’s should do when put into place at a bar. But before I knew it, I had him back in my arms on the dance floor. Suddenly, every guy I was seeing became a blur, and I was content with it.
            I knew what I was doing, after all, you should never go back with an guy who dumped you (especially over the phone). My friends dislike him, for all the good reasons. But I couldn’t help but to repeat the words he kept saying to me “loosing you, was one of my biggest mistakes.” Biggest mistake? I’ll say. So why was the man I hated after the break up, was the man I wanted to take home?
            We ended up together  this entire weekend, including the hours spent hanging up pictures on my wall and organizing my room. Going out to eat. Being seen in public. Holding hands. Driving with the window down as era of the 50’s love music played in the background. He was questioning us so soon, on the second day, asking me “What our we doing?”. I see it as a relationship on comfort. I found my confused mother asking if I was dating the fellow again or just hooking up. In the most simple reply that could find  was “We keep each other company.”
            That just it. Company. Not dating. Not a booty call. Not lovers. Company.
            Its what I want, as of right now. I don’t want to date the nobody’s and the douche bags. I don’t want to take the time to get to know others. Follow by the rules of dating, and be crushed by the cheaters. I just want simple. After all, these past months I haven’t talked to anybody or really wanted to. I guess the secret truth was, he was always on my mind. I might be playing with fire, but sometimes you have to try out all the outcomes before you find the solution.

The TEST for Online dating

     The Quest to find love may be through the internet.
   I work a full time job along with going to school full time, in the little hours I have for myself is through social hangouts with my friends and laundry days. I have let my fashion stay in place, since my money is used for college student bills.
  I used to go on a online dating website just for fun. The boys are pratically desperate and love giving you never ending compliments. My self esteem certianly went up, when I had strangers send me emails on "how pretty I was", "Most girls arn't like you" and " wow, I wish I could meet someone like you". The type of flattering a girl wants to hear from the distance, but not date.
     The fear of dating online scares me. yet, what a wonderful concept to be able to come home after a long day looking like complete poop and in your pajamas, you check emails flattering you. Its a boost I think all girls need, every once in awhile. To feel pretty. To feel worthwhile.
   I remember I was talking to a gentlemen who wanted to date when he got back from deployment. so he simply went straight to a free online dating website and connected with me. sadly, I am trying to stay the HELL AWAY from military men. afterall, I've had one hell of an experience with the last eight guys. So, I ignored this one gentlemen, deleted my account and moved on to being completely single.
   Until one day when I discovered checking my old mail, I found an email from him. I completely forgot about giving him my private email address. Two Months later he addressed me, asking to take me out on a date. I haven't spoken to the man, and here he was, trying to reach me. Was I always this stubborn, or just with him?
    A few clicks away, we were exchanging facebook messages, phone and texting each other, but haven't set a date to meet. That was the problem, We were always never finding time to meet, but then again it was during the holidays.
   But now, I am still talking to this man,who I don't oddly call a stranger and I am putting it to the test. I am going on a date with someone I met online. Background check? good. Facebook check to make sure he is not creepy nor a player? All is well.
    Let this technology relationship be put to the real world.
