the bacheloretter

today is thursday. and i'm exhausted.

why so?
this whole dating thing.
in the past month i think i've gained more roses/flowers than are handed out in a season of the bachelor.
while i'm obnoxiously sick of the whole dinner, get to know you routine.
i'm in love with it at the same time.

(one of the charming bachelors from the show)

sick: last friday i went on the most awkward date of my life.
(i'll save you the details it was bad)
love: followed by a perfect date. and when i say perfect i mean perfect.
we had dinner at a cute restaurant on the main strip in coranado.
the weather was warm. the sun was setting and music was playing in the back ground.
followed by some hotel del explorings.
followed by a stroll in the gas lamp quarters.
slipping into urban and reading bizarre books. ( i just so happen to love each one of them)
then slipping into a fancy dancey restaurant where we got tasty desserts
he bought me a rose. and we even got a polaroid picture together. it's precious i promises.

did i mention he was cute. really cute. graduated from college already and working as an investment banker.so right about know you'd think. UMM hello? Michelle GOOO for it. every little thing should have me falling, but I wasn't i just wanted to be friends. after this date, i decided it was useless. i'd never find someone i was attracted to. then came monday night volley ball and a new boy. new boy asked me if he could take me out. i was very busy this week so new boy snatched up my next free day and time. it just so happend to be saturday morning. new boy has a date planned out of all my favorite things. hiking and the pancake house. how'd the new boy know these were some of my favorite things. he listened while i talked. it's seriously so impressive when this occasion happens. it shows alot about new boy, alot of good things. and needless to say i'm once again find myself excited to go on a date with new boy. hopefully i'll find myself attracted to him. this is my only hope. even though i'm very grateful that i go on numerous dates a week. i'm exhausted. i want just one guy. one guy to surprise. to care for. to share smiles across a crowed room with. to hold my hand. to snuggle up with during a movie. to honor his priesthood. just one guy and i'd be happy.

does anyone else find dating to be
exhausting?

and what was the most important thing that you required in the person you were dating?
