I listened to a book about dating, this morning, cause apparently I’m in training.

The author provided all these rules about playing hard to get, but not “too” hard to get, and you can text first, but only once-ish, and be confident, but not so confident that it takes away your femininity.

It’s all very confusing!

Oh, and most importantly, “Don’t play games”…I agree wholeheartedly with this one, but ALL OF THIS seems like a game!!!

I miss pre-rules, pre-texting and pre-social media (you know, the last time I successfully dated). I’m too old fashioned for the competition of a catalog of pretty faces.

I know, I post a lot of pics too, but this morning, one of my friends commented that I have a beautiful soul…(sigh).

That’s the stuff that sticks!

Long after keeping up with the catalog, is no longer possible, the beauty within will be there.

I was created with that and it’s not going anywhere. No matter what happens or how I feel or how awkward I am, angry, sad, happy, excited…even after I’m gone…that core beauty remains.

If I’m dating, I’m dating with that, not all these rules…I don’t care about anything that isn’t soul deep.♥️
