I will check out your recommendation. <BR/><BR/>I have been a little worried about people reading this, especially the Tango guy. I mean, how many Tango fiends are there in NY? (Reluctant Blogger lives in the UK, so her friend doesn't count). <BR/><BR/>I tried subsituting 'Salsa' for 'Tango' and it didn't have the same kick. <BR/><BR/>All this happened almost three years ago, so there's that.<BR/><BR/>Dating is horrible, yes, but if you don't take it too seriously, it's less horrible. <BR/><BR/>This is just a tale of how I met Mark, my boyfriend.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-11566449936315160492007-12-05T10:09:00.000-05:002007-12-05T10:09:00.000-05:00The guy has balls if he sends you a poem for someo...The guy has balls if he sends you a poem for someone else before meeting up with you. If you're telling me you don't really like poetry, or you never got into it, my response is that you just haven't read the right stuff. There's definitely something out there for you and once you find it, it'll just feel right. Interesting, that sentence can be applied to so many things in life. I actually just finished reading this three-book set called "145 Stories in a Small Box." It's supposed to be short stories, but a lot of them really read like poems. You might like it, depending on your style.<BR/><BR/>I write a bit of poetry, but going over some of my older stuff, oh God, it's pretty terrible. I've shown my stuff to people, but the only time I've ever used a poem to try to "impress" a girl was when I was a sophomore and wrote this poem for a girl I had a crush on. My friend pushed me to give it to her, that she would be impressed and fall madly in love with me. She thought I was a freak and, eventually, ended up the dating the guy who gave me the advice. Ironic?<BR/><BR/>What else did I wanna say? Oh yeah, I'm impressed that you feel comfortable writing about these people you go on dates with. Don't you think they'll read this about themselves? Granted, you don't reveal your real identity, but crazier things have happened. I try to be as cryptic as possible about those types of things, even while I would love to just be like "yeah, so this girl, let's call her 'Foxy' was so damn hot!" Although, I have to say, I haven't had that sentiment in quite a while.<BR/><BR/>One last thing, what's up with all these dates? Maybe I have to dig around more to figure out why you seem to be on this dating binge. I hate dating. How do I end up meeting people? I have no idea.Ruvymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207933326556984972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-32386480197462702732007-12-03T19:42:00.000-05:002007-12-03T19:42:00.000-05:00I so agree, Tammy.

It all felt horribly uncomfortable just reading about it. I do wonder if there is something about Tango though because we have a friend who does Tango and he can talk about nothing else!! You'd have thought the old adage, "it takes two to tango" might have rubbed off onto other aspects of their lives, like dating and talking but it seems not.<BR/><BR/>It was a lovely story though - beautifully told.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I will write something about academia for you some time soon. <BR/><BR/>I hope you had a happy Monday<BR/>xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-8395658503919358622007-12-03T10:56:00.000-05:002007-12-03T10:56:00.000-05:00No need to feel wretched.
