trying something new…
will on September 23rd, 2008
in light of my recent request from the universe catalog, i decided to try something new and post a “misc. romance” ad on craigslist.
i’ve already made my request from the universe, and it dawned on me that sometimes we are required to take action on our own. while editing my book this afternoon, i had the idea of posting a dating ad on craigslist, so i thought of something cute and cool to say, added a picture, and set the post free on the internets.
we’ll see what comes in… i know i have to open myself up to the different types of guys that may hit me up. it’s so easy to read someone’s stats and/or look at their picture and discount them completely out of not being your immediate “type.” i do that shit all the time. this time i’m taking a new approach.
i’m going to start giving people a try. i’m always writing and talking about how no one will “date” me- that no one finds me attractive- or some shit like that, all the while forgetting the few people who do step to me that i ingnore out of not being hot and/or jumping off the page at first glance. that’s incredibly shallow, and it’s not me. i know better than that. how the hell can i expect someone to give me a chance, if i’m stepping over every possibility who doesn’t fit my ideal? crazy, right!
i’m taking this opportunity to not only put myself out there in the dating pool, but to open myself up to meeting all types of people. who knows what will come out of all of it. they’re just dates… not commitment ceremonies! jeez!
here we go!
