In the twelfth blog of Christmas, my blogger gave to me...12 ex-girlfriends (I know, I'm a pig), 11 egos clashing, at-TEN-tion to detail, 9 musicians playing, 8 important events, 7-ty degrees, 6 guards a-guarding, 5 reso-luuu-tions, 4 days to New Years, 3 golf stories, 2 Christmas wishes, and the story of HCG...
The actual number is not important and I may have taken some literary license to continue the theme of these blogs, but the accent of this blog is on the word "ex". There is a recurring theme that is prevalent in my dating life. The dating is good...the getting to know each other is good...and then things get a little cloudy... (the truth...I get bored, find a reason to break up and hightail it out of there). I don't have commitment issues (that's a lie), I have pre-commitment commitment issues. I can't seem to get to the point where the "relationship" phase begins...or beyond that. Right after the woman initiates the phase with the "Where is this relationship going?" conversation (because no man is going to ask that question), I'm looking for the door... It's just that lately the women I have been attracting (and it's completely my fault...my boss, who is a woman, has a theory that I am attracted to drama) have been changing magically in front of my eyes. When we meet, I explain that I am not in the market for the "relationship" and they all agree. Then we start going out and its like they never heard what I said. Friends tell me its my fault because these woman hear I not a "relationship" guy and they believe they can change me...(that may explain why one woman said I would end up marrying her...after the second date!).
At this writing, I am once again a single man. The woman I was dating wanted more than I was willing to give and we mutually decided to move on. So, it's back to the online dating site and the dartboard of dating. They say there's someone for everyone out there, but you have to be open to receive that person. I believe I have found a character flaw that requires some of that at-Ten-tion I blogged about. Either that or continue to ride the merry-go-round that I've been on...(always been a fan of the merry-go-round). Let's see if this "old dog" can learn some new tricks and not end up the crazy, lonely old man...(at least not lonely).
Thus endeth the Twelve Blogs of Christmas...I am quite proud of the effort I put forth in actually returning to blog 12 straight days in a row. I will be getting really busy at work, but I have rekindled the writing bug and look forward to writing these blogs... I hope you enjoy the results...And don't you dare feel bad for me about the dating thing...I'm really good at this single thing. Ha Ha.
