The boxer who threw a left hook...

For weeks, I have been eyeing up this cute guy in my boxing class.  First it was a smile, then a "how are you"plus a smile, and so on.  Finally, last week, we had some conversation and mild flirtation before class. I was really looking forward to seeing him today, and get my flirt on, possible give out my number.  Test the waters.

I am early, with my coffee.  My hair is done, my makeup looks good.  I have my best looking workout outfit on.  Was waiting for class to start.  He arrives early, I yell over to him "You going to make trouble today or what?"  He smiled, and then came over.  I am thinking this is good.  Now we are cooking.  I asked him about his job, he mentioned not being able to go out last night. (This sounds single) No ring.  Okay, I am thinking looking really good.  I slipped into the conversation I was not married. My other guy friends from the gym come in, and they assemble around us.

Steve goes, "Hey, where is your wife today?" I remained smiling, and continued the conversation with my guyfriends trying to act like nothing just happened.  In my mind I was saying to myself,"No way.  I can't believe this. Next time, get some facts before you put the moves on anyone."  This was dating lesson #345 in the past eight months.

I still think he's cute punching the bag.  I guess I'll just have to look at him like a new pair of shoes in a store window from now on. :)  He usually lingers after classes.... not today though, which I found very interesting.

Great Advice..

My favorite quote from this article, "I will not die the death of loneliness by being afraid to love and afraid to get hurt."  This makes a lot of sense.

How to get a guy to notice you...

Being Single....

Well, to update my blog, nothing really crazy has been going on.  I have been very picky about who I email/talk to.  Between all of this weading out of men, I have been actually finding some interesting people.  So normal, I don't even have names for them!

This dating thing might actually be fun :)  Being single is wonderful. It has it's advantages.  I have been reading "The Secret", and created a vision board.  I couldn't believe the pictures I was choosing to throw onto this thing. I truly believe if you visualize what you want, it will be granted.  Matthew 21:22 states, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."  I truly believe this.  Also, I have not been looking enough at all of the graces I have in my life, and there are many.  There is so much to be grateful for.  Even though I have been speaking to interesting people, I have been really focusing on being comfortable and proud of my single status.  I have made friends with myself, whom I can always count on :)  Whether I get a date or not, I have been really happy.  Also, I have been catching up on my sleep.
