I can’t do this right now

Posted in dating at 10:06 pm by N

Since I started this whole thing, I’ve definitely hit highs and lows. And, folks, I’m in a low right now. I just can’t really muster up the energy to do the whole dating thing. And I can’t really find the time. Work is crazy and somewhat inflexible, my band just got booked to play a huge gig in the fall (for which I will have to practice A LOT), and I really want to hang out with my friends rather than face the near-constant stream of rejection that is my dating life. I also would like to exercise occasionally and, you know, feed myself. I seem to be doing fine with never cleaning my house, so that’s a wash.

I know it’s an excuse to say I don’t have time to date. But I don’t really have time to do anything. Why make time to date when I can’t make time to eat dinner? This, too, shall pass, and someday I’ll start posting again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

    Your unique perspective will be missed but your post makes lots of sense. There’s something to be said for taking a break from reflection … although your reflections have given us some good food for thought. :) We’ll all starve a little without your input.

    Same here!

    People need a break from most activities, so why not dating? We’re not saying we’ll never date again, just not right now.

    It stinks that your dating life has been feeling like a “near-constant stream of rejection.” If you come back fresh later, something may have shifted, either in your perspective or how you carry yourself, that will break that pattern.

    So focus on other things, and don’t worry about the future for now. ENJOY!

    P.S. I don’t clean my house either. After a decade or so of that, I splurged on a one-time visit from a housecleaner. Pretty quickly I worked up to a regular monthly visit. Now my goal in this economy is to continue to support my habit. I’ll cut back on eating out and stuff, but getting to continue not cleaning (which I love) and also live in a clean house is too good to give up
