Why Don't You See What I See?

As part of my job I drive a lot.  This excess driving time gave me ample time to think about life, more specifically my dating life (or lack thereof).  And I realized something I already knew:  I am frustrated!

I know I haven't written a post in a few months (my apologies).  The thing is, life has been pretty uneventful. I work, workout, cook and clean, and maybe go out for the most part.  I have been spending a lot of time with my mom, and I MEAN A LOT.  I have become a homebody homebody of sorts. I rarely fully commit to plans so that I have the option of staying home and sleeping without offending others.  Oh and yeah, dating has been a non muthaf$*%@! factor.

The last time I "seriously" was dating a guy was in July.  And I use the quotation marks because I was serious but I don't think he was hence why we broke up <insert laughing/crying emoji face here>.  Since then I haven't really felt like being bothered.  I have had exes come and quickly leave (thank God).  Oh and in December I went on the hands down worst date I have ever been on in my entire 30 something years on this planet.

This year I haven't made any official new year resolutions.  However, I have unofficially decided to give up completely on online dating (at least for a year).  Quite honestly, at the rate I have been going, I am starting to question whether dating is going to be part of my 2017 at all, but I digress...

As I was driving today I realized the most frustrating thing about dating is that men don't see what a catch I am!  Oh and I am a catch!  I am not being arrogant here.  I am a rare combination of beauty, brains, compassion, passion, humor, silliness and seriousness.  I have so much love to give to the right person, whenever he  presents himself.  Guys, I don't get it, why don't you see what I see?  There are so many men that I have met who I think are amazing.  So what's up with ya'll not seeing my awesomeness?  I don't get it. 

And I don't want to see any of those old cliche sayings from you people, yes you people.  You know what I am talking about the whole "when you stop looking you will find someone".  Or "Do you approach guys"?  And "let the guys approach you".  "Have you tried online dating?"  *rolls eyes* Blah blah blah I ain't trying to hear that man.  

What I am trying to hear is for a man to understand all this greatness in front of him and snatch it up before someone else does!  But until that happens I am going to plan like 2017 has some other great things for me that don't include a man and keep it moving.
