I finished my dating detox! Woohoo. The end of it was pretty anti-climactic. I do feel refreshed and ready to date again. I may or may not have already gone out on one (not telling!). Though I'm ready to start dating again, I've learned some things about myself and what I like and don't like. See below.
Things I've Learned:
-I'm over going on dates with people I know I'm only "so-so" about. My gut is almost always correct about people. In addition to that, I have never become attracted to someone I was not initially attracted to. I might become more fond and care more about that person, but I don't want to date them.
-I'm over ignoring red flags. If it's the very beginning and I've seen a red flag, deal-breaker, or am being treated poorly, I. Am. DONE. I realized I give a lot of chances to people who don't necessary deserve them. It ends up panning out as I initially suspected.
-I'm over giving immature guys a chance. I used to only date older, but a year or so ago I thought maybe I'm missing out on people because I'm judging based on age. I was wrong. Every single younger guy who I've dated has ended up being a little immature (I'm talking my age to a couple yrs younger--not barely legal) . They might have come off as confident and even professionally "mature", however, once I got to know them better I started to feel like I was dating frat boys. Which was great...in college. (If any of you are reading this...I think you're awesome.)
That's pretty much all I've learned. I'm done writing about dating for a little bit. I'll have to get inspired by some other funny business so you have some new material. If you have any requests let me know in the comments below! :)
Haha I can always count on The Office and Michael Scott for content.
Yeah... I realize it's kind of awkward that I started dating again right before Valentine's Day. Lol.
