Oomph!

A year ago, a woman I met, though didn't know very well, told me that after this next year, she'd be looking to move as her daughter would have graduated high school and she didn't want to live here anymore, if she was going to be alone.  "You know how it is, trying to date here," she said to me.

True, I do know how difficult it is trying to find a decent, hard working fella to even be interested in, here.  And her comment hit hard.  I got this cold chill - I still remember the feeling.  I felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach, that I was going to be left behind.

A year later, I've looked at moving, I've highly considered moving, I've said I was going to move, moving near my sister feels right, yet my bags are not packed, my  house is FAR from being ready to move (though I have cleaned some things out) -

I have also had a crush on - or found 6 men - to crush on.  I know that 5 of them are not married, not certain about the 6th.  Have gone out with one, though it wasn't a real date - he was my Dance Partner.  I still have a crush on him, even though a friend says that my being over 10+ years older than him is too great a difference, and I haven't seen him in 2 weeks.

Really though, 6 men in less than a year.  6 men that I never noticed before.  Or noticed in this manner.  Or found out how interesting, or uninteresting, they were.

More so, the person - who can't find anyone to date here, will really be lucky to find someone to date.  Period.  High maintenance doesn't begin to describe her.  More like narcissistic.  Or as another put it, a Narcissistic Nut Job. It's all about her, and just about the time you get decide it isn't going to be all about her, the nut cracks, and for some reason your needs are included.  Until, then, they aren't.  And the nut cracks and rolls the other way.  Back and forth.

Oomph!  You simply can't compare.  Just because one can't find love in the middle of the grocery store DOES NOT mean another cannot.
