I'm Ready

I'm ready. I realized last week after coming back from seeing V, that this isn't what I want. So I cut him off tonight. It was even an added bonus that had not been nice the last week, even tonight. Someday if he'll listen I'll explain what the term "inconsiderate" means. But that's not the point. The point is that there will be no more "bad boys" in my dating repertoire from now on. I admit this will be hard for me. But Lindsay had a good explanation.

After breaking up with Chris, I had to have the crazy-it-doesn't-matter-any-more rebounds, and then I proceeded to date guys who I was attracted to in some way, and I was pretty open to seeing different people. I enjoyed that because I learned a lot about myself and what I want - which is what dating is supposed to be all about. That went on for a couple of years now, and I just realized, I'm ready. Not for marriage or any big steps, don't worry, but to seriously consider the relationships I am in. And I suppose I deserve a good relationship and should not dwell on others just because they make a hilarious story. (Although, hit me up for the 6 am exit, 7 am entrance story, because it is a good one.) I was scared to give up this so-called freedom to date whomever I would like. But now I have the freedom to get rid of guys who don't deserve me. And this time I say that with more certainty than not.

So if you're reading this, I may just need some reminders not to go out with jerks...
