Dating Sabbatical. Again.
I’m taking a break from dating. The next person I decide to go out with will be because I truly want to. I’ve just broken up with someone I had been seeing for about a year and need time to sort through my feelings, process all I’ve learned, and most importantly, figure out what I want going forward. This is an incredible time for me both professionally and personally. More importantly, I’ve discovered why I need to be the one to write a book about dating. I’m really great on a first or second date and I’ve been told I’m a very good girlfriend, but the third or fourth date-to-relationship status is where the magic is. I’ve learned how to bridge that gap and want to help women. In general, women don’t date. Almost every girl I know gets a little nuts when she likes a guy, but is forced to play it cool until or if it grows into something more. Who can’t relate to that. Yes, I’m taking a break but it’s all part of the book research 
Guess you could say, I’m taking it for the team. And, when I’m ready, I’ll know it, and dream of us SOARING into the unknown together.
Back to real life in Los Angeles.
Anyway, four months went fast but it was an incredibly productive time for me. In the interim, I ended up with a backlog of prospects. No joke. Seems many of my friends wanted to set me up with someone “amazing.” So, by May I was dating again and going out on average four nights a week. I was exhausted. It’s a funny thing what happens to a single woman in her thirties. You think you should go out and meet as many people as possible (even though you don’t really want to) because “time” is flying by. Where’s it flying to? We only have this now moment so what will I miss if I don’t date? Absolutely nothing. For now, I’m choosing to fly solo again and it feels good. If that makes me a unicorn, I’m totally cool with that.
