Interview Process... for a date


Sooo I decided to give the online dating world a try, (again). I can't say it's been unsuccessful in the past, I just don't think I ever geniuely gave it an honest try. Being on a site for 1 week, not meeting anyone in person & then deactivating the account, doesn't entirely count as an honest try.

Can't lie this online stuff can be very overwhelming, it's a lot at once, especially if your selfie game is as strong as mine ;) . It's almost like speed dating on crack.

You're basically the CEO of your corporation (your heart) and you're interviewing someone to be the right hand man of your life, with zero experience. Online dating is the equivalent of  posting the position on a job search engine & resumes are coming left and right. The interview process is tedious and has various levels, (everyone has different variations of what these levels are). You meet such a variation of people, some you like instantly and others you instantly don't like. & sometimes you see people that seem like the perfect candidate but that doesn't mean they'll accept the position or offer... Or they do & then quit before their first direct deposit check even hits. It's a lot!

I use to say "I don't date a lot", but I realized I've probably dated more than a lot of people I know. I've been single for well over 3 years now, and not single in the sense that I haven't entertained anyone at all, but, single in the sense that I've had a few misses, nothing official & nothing that has stuck. (well not in the right ways at least) & I'm ready to rest my pimp hat and "settle" down. This isn't the first time I've said this in the last 3 years, If you know me well enough you know every now & again, I sing the same tune... BUT, I'm serious this time. I'm ready for that annoying person who I tell everything to. Someone to take to double dates, someone to actually meet my family & friends... I want alllll of it. Even the bad parts...meeeehh

But, like most things in life, you can't wave your magic wand. It's a process, one that happens naturally & organically regardless how you meet this person.  You can't force anything, especiallllly not this.

But I'm continuing this interview process & seeing where it takes me... one emoji at a time. Stay tuned for future bae...
