Best Foot Forward

Online dating is interesting.  We live in a technologically advanced world.  It’s only fitting that the current dating style reflects the world we live in.  But it’s weird.  I’m naturally an introvert so I’m not really into being aggressive.

Which is probably why I’m single.  Women are AGGRESSIVE nowadays.  I’ve come to the conclusion that men are enjoying being pursued.  That’s just not my style.

Actually, there are probably lots of reasons why I’m single.  It’s come to my attention that my flirting radar is not activated.  During another smaller cousin council, my cousins informed me that I succinctly shot down a man who was trying to shoot his shot.  I didn’t agree with them.  I was handling business.  I was in business mode.  I took his conversation as small talk.  The cousin council outvoted my opinion.

They may be right.  I once had a man say that he would take me to eat steak.  My reply was “I don’t eat steak.”  Because I don’t.  Then later he said, “I can take you to eat seafood.”  Well, I’m not really into that either so I said, “I don’t eat seafood.”  In my defense, I was in another business situation and trying to calculate how much money something was going to cost me.  Also in my defense, he had a whole boo so maybe that was just God blocking it….hahaha.

In online dating, you’re supposed to put your best foot forward so you can reel some unsuspecting joker in.  (I saw a dude’s profile where he used his dirty foot as the profile picture.  I appreciate the sentiment, but it was too gross for me).  I don’t get many hits on my profile because I use a no makeup picture of me.  It’s how I look 98% of the time.  I’m just trying to get somebody who thinks I’m beautiful just as I am.

Let me tell you.  That’s hard in this world of filters and airbrushing.  I don’t want some poor innocent man to not recognize me when we meet in person.  I’m mostly comfortable in the skin that I’m in, and I need somebody that appreciates that.  And although I struggle with some areas of confidence, I’m confident that God will send the right one when it’s time.  #wepreach
