Now, You couldn’t describe me as exactly happy as an “independent” (aka: naturally single) person and not be lying. But, I’m not unhappy about it, either. I just suggest it here as an ear-catching detail introducing what I will shortly explain in grand style.

A week ago today yours truly was walking the dog, Trisha, considering signing up for a Dallas Singles dating service. As of this minute, I stand to the blogosphere as a happy member of the dating service. Totally, and I almost don’t believe it myself! Its very comfortable and full of nice people! If you’ve been paying attention, you’re probably thinking, “Stop blabbering and tell me about it already.”

Well, I noticed this Great Expectations Dating site and can really get behind their approach. They’re for the serious singles who care enough to know dating isn’t a game.

Because in all honesty I’d never been too big on whatever it is that a lot of singles have named “dating.” I faced it all the time. Day and night they pester, “Are you two serious yet?” and “You should date!”

“Nonsense,” I reply, and playfully so. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”

“Not true,” they deadpan. “You have no way to know that!”

That’s just my best friend (on a good day) (hehe) Stacey McCarthy. She pours rational thought to my mind 99% of the time. Caring souls I depend on for fresh advice. Can’t argue with that, so I signed up.

Coming home to the meaning of this post. As I selected from hundreds of quality singles for my first singles event with Great Expectations, I realized something real. For the longest time, I hadn’t entertained too many literal great expectations for dating in the serendipitous journey of life. Being single isn’t so bad, only if you take the opportunity to meet new people. Holding great expectations works terrifically for a caring soul.
