Any Ape

First, I’m not that desperately cheesball single man, habitually interested in sitting at home without a date on a Friday night. I’d wager readers have never pegged me to write a talk much about great dating and companionship. Not a fan of the drama.

Dependence is an unfortunate trait and intentionally ripped out of my genetics. However, I’ll level with you, I had no choice but to put the breaks on a worthwhile relationship which meant a lot for us but essentially deadended for both of us. So somone could tell ya its been years since I dated. I don’t hold the great expectations Denver I used to enjoy.

Single life has had its perks so far. One thing is for sure, I don’t know how to stay in peacefully watching Two and a Half Men on DVD. The real reason for this bout of incidental dating lameness? This isn’t college, and everyone else is boring.

My former college buddy, Josh, who will never have dating boredom, informed me he’s currently shooting from the same blind as I am. He joinedGreat Expectations Denver. Of course, I can’t argue with introductions with fun singles who share my passions. So I got real about my dating life and signed up.

Here’s the deal, ya can’t grovel about going dateless when ya haven’t even put yourself into the game. As our senior year baseball coach Chris Kniffen told me when his wife wasn’t looking, “You’ll never win a race you don’t run, turbo.”

Coach was crazy, and a little out of touch. But, Coach was truly a wise sould in a round about way. He meant well to everyone. This crazy Dallas matchmaking service I joined might have blown the gipper’s noggin’.

At yesterday’s Great Expectations dating events I talked to some substantive and desirable ladies that hold my interest. I actually had a carefree night with a few intelligently enjoyable singles. Went home with an exchange of digits, and as a plus, I came across some political relationships for my job. Success.

Put yourself in the play. Can’t score if you sit the bench. Don’t sell yourself short, you might as well have great expectations for yourself.

Sincerely,

Larry D.
