I've been having a lot of trouble with dating in the past several years. Last weekend I got hit again by what seemed to be this amazing, intelligent, kind soul who on top of all that was terribly cute, had lips like chocolate and could hold down a conversation with me. He didn't even bother to respond to my followup email after our date to tell me he wasn't interested.....

So I was watching The West Wing this morning and just about fell out of my chair at a statement CJ Craig made. This is only a partial quote as the whole thing referenced her being accused of being a lesbian and her fear of still being single despite her keen desire to find someone to share her life with. This quote just so hit home.

"So he'll just drift away like the legion of other cowards that I spent my young life staring at the phone panting like an exquisite collie hoping for table scraps until I became successful and suddenly scared them with the very independence that they required me to have"

I know there are great men out there. But it has been really difficult to meet them. I'm not one to claim I'm perfect. I have issues but my issues aren't much compared to so many other women I meet. I should be able to find a wonderful man.
