So I was browsing through the blogosphere and reading much more interesting blogs than my own (sorry I'm so boring haha) and I happened across a blog that was about dating/love type stuff and it has some quotes in it that I can rather relate to.
About dating: "Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It's just that constant strangeness. I think it's a very real thing." Jason Schwartzman
How true is this... dating is so awkward! I'm really beginning to feel like its a game... is he into me... am I into him... I don't want to seem too desperate... but I don't want to seem uninterested... oh my gosh, is he too desperate... oh my gosh is he uninterested! Who makes the first move? Should I? Should he? Why hasn't anyone made a move yet! Am I moving too fast, am I moving too slow... Am I talking too much... am I being too quiet/shy? Why isn't he talking?! Why won't he shut up? Did I say too much? Did I say the wrong thing? OMG I can't believe he just said that!
About love: “All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us.” The Wonder Years
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." Robert Frost
"Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves." Henri Frederic Amiel
One would think... that with all the people in the world... there would be less single people... because isn't it in our human nature to want to love and be loved? So why aren't more people trying to form relationships?
Why is it so hard for people to find "compatible" people that they can fall in love with? Why am I having such a hard time finding a non-douchebag guy that wants to date me?
I mean I know I'm not exactly the perfect package, both physically and situationally... but you would think that with all the single available men out there... I could find at least ONE that wanted me, and that I could want back, right?
I think perhaps its because people are afraid to open themselves to the potential of love. They fear getting hurt, and so they hold back. I can relate... how many times have I been hurt?
But I realized something... it doesn't matter how the story ends... but the fact that you had a story to tell. I would rather experience life and love to the fullest and risk the possiblity of heartbreak (again) than to just sit on the sidelines watching life go by with my heart wrapped up too tightly in bubble wrap to let anyone in.
And just like in a previous blog post where I took a pic of myself with no makeup on, embracing my unique beauty...
