A Person Has To Have Standards
I've went out on a few dates lately... but even though they seemed to go well.... I just don't feel a "click" ...I'm just being me... not putting on any kind of front... and I've learned I don't have a whole lot in common with many people... I have made a couple of friends... but I don't see anything long term happening. It's not that they aren't attractive... because they are... I think part of it is being conditioned by the sites to believe I can be and interact in a certain way... and that's okay... Online dating is soooooo much easier than offline dating.
...but I've said I'm not going to dwell much on relationships in this blog anymore... doesn't mean I won't be throwing thoughts out there from time-to-time... I still want to be open with what's going on inside my head... I have just learned to quell the negativity... and it is working very well.. I actually feel much more optimistic.. I feel more productive.. and I'm making a good effort at trying to live my life in a positive fashion.
I'm off today... but I don't have anything planned to do. I will get a bit of housework done.. do some binge watching of Netflix.. and maybe play WoW for a bit... I have had a very long.. short week... There is a partnership developing at work with the local community college... and I'm evidently selected as the man to spearhead this effort to collaborate with them to get things going. We had our first meeting yesterday and will have a follow up meeting on Dec. 6. They are pretty much telling me most of the things I already knew... after all ..I've been teaching computer tech for over 17 years now. I have many opportunities coming up... so my work life is extremely productive.. as usual. My quality step increase for my evaluation will help out in making ends meet in my personal budget. Although, I am very pleased at the low bills in my new place... Things just seem to be working out in most areas of my life... even if my relationship status isn't really affected. I find that most people seem to be... prissy and uptight about a lot of things... I've always considered myself to be a very open and communicative guy... I sometimes think that I might even come across as too much to handle for most people. That's not really my issue. My only focus is being me and sticking to my ideology to make certain I don't come across as something I'm not. So far, that really only works in the online arena.. In the offline world, people are much too timid. I've been told that I should hold back and not come across so strongly... and I see that as good advice.. but I have always been attracted to those that can be a bit forward and let me know what's going on with them.. and I know I have a forceful personality... I don't hit people all at once with everything about me... but as I said earlier... I think most people are timid or meek when it comes to expressing themselves in a one-on-one atmosphere.. My behavior just helps to eliminate those that just can't cut it... I would rather find out if someone can survive the dominant personality I sometimes unleash... I know that might seem a bit unfair, but a person has to have standards.
