Introducing our Newest Roller Coaster... The Date Drop

Why didn't they offer a course on dating in high school?!?!

I am getting myself back into the dating world after a long hiatus. Can I tell you it's utterly terrifying? It's like the feeling I get when I'm on a roller coaster. You stand in line, waiting your turn, anxious for the ride. Now while getting on a roller coaster doesn't slow some people down one bit, it goes a little bit different for me. From the second I realize I'm in the next group to go, my heart starts pounding. They strap you in and up you go. Click click click... you make your way to the crest.

Going uphill on a roller coaster is like talking on the phone for the first time with a potential... just torture. Reminders to breathe and to relax so you can enjoy the ride accompany both events. While some are raising their arms in anticipation, screaming with adrenaline... me, I'm sitting there wondering if I ever should have gotten my butt on the ride in the first place. Will I have a headache after this, will I upchuck all of my meal or will it be the best ride of my life??

Geez... why can't dating be simpler for me!!! Eventually I know I'll get on some ride and never want to get off. Until then for whatever the ride presents, I've got my Tylenol, Pepto and a glass of wine to get through. LOL.
