Some random thoughts

Perhaps this is a little too personal to post here, but I have been thinking a lot about it and wanted to write it down.

I was talking to a new friend of mine the other night about my love life. This friend came an interesting conclusion that basically I think summed Jamie's love life up.

  • I never have to work for the guys I date. Somehow, boys just come to me and want to date me. I was then compared to a rich kid's view on money. They do not work for money, so they don't appreciate it. (And yes, wow, I sound really arrogant but I am attempting to do this humbly--because it is actually a very big point of stress for me. It's not as fun as it sounds).
  • They then told me that when I find someone I am really interested in, I will not know how to react. True story, those guys I think are cute and awesome, I do not know how to react around them.

I thought that was interesting and although perhaps it is a little extreme, I think that is a reason why I do not have the ability to stay interested for long. Mom is always telling me to that I need to serve the person I am dating more. When I do, I suddenly am somewhat interested in them again.

  • This friend then challenged me to not flirt all week. Since my personality is friendly/ flirtacious, I knew this would be a difficult challenge. But I want to prove that I am more than that and so I told this friend I would take them up on it.

I am more than just a flirt though. Most people do not see the deeper part of my personality because I do not get close enough to people to show them. And while my family may disagree with my thoughts, this is just my new thinking.

I think part of the issue is you're very friendly and you enjoy meeting people and being their friends...and you like to hug and hold hands...then it gets complicated..hahahaha! I think you should just be you, meet new people and when you meet someone who's right for you, you'll know. Just be careful and take it slow.

So how's that little challenge going? I wish I had friends like that...

Well, it seems like it shouldn't have to be so much work...when you find the "right" someone. But THEN the REAL work begins! ;) Good observations from your new friend.
