I finished "A Modern Romance" by Aziz Ansari a few weeks ago and although it wasn't the most captivating, it was pretty informational and definitely funny. The piece that stuck with me the most was that Aziz really likes tacos. The other piece was that, compared to just 10 years ago, we have so many more choices of whom to date. We can log-on to an app or sign up for an online profile and BAM there are hundreds of choices..maybe even thousands. To me, that is not a good thing. I am so incredibly picky (for someone who shouldn't be, mind you) that having those choices just makes it even more difficult. I also think that's a major issue for the guys. Like, mah-jor. They match with a super-model and think, "Hmm..I should keep looking, there might be a prettier super-model." Too many choices can be a very bad thing.
Anywho, so I've been "messaging" with this guy from Hinge for over a month now..probably closer to two..and we've been trying to schedule a date and can't. At first, I thought it was just that we both were so busy (we are..that's part of it), but now I'm realizing that he probably is trying to schedule multiple different dates with multiple different women. Nothing wrong with that, but that's a symptom of having so many choices. You try to schedule something with the first girl and she's busy, so you try the second girl and she's available, but then the first girl messages back and her schedule opened up, so you have to reschedule with the second..whew. I'm now not even interested in the guy anymore because of how long is has taken to try and get something locked down. I mean, at this rate, our second date probably wouldn't even be until 2016. I don't have time for that.
So, that's where I'm at now. Not dating, not wanting to. I feel like one of a million and that's not very special. Here's to holding out for the classic meeting someone in a bar..guess I should start going to bars?
