I’m settling in nicely here in Conover, NC, absolutely loving my new place and the gorgeous springtime, feels like summer time, weather.  And to further prove this was the right choice for my new home, the flowers are in bloom and they are all..pink!  If that doesn’t scream girly girl, I don’t know what does.

So since I’d finally started to settle in, I decided that maybe it was time to seriously start exploring the idea of dating again.  I put up a new, updated profile, and wham!  Suddenly I’m getting e-mails from men left and right.  I realize it’s mostly because I was new to the site, but it was overwhelming.  At first it was a little bit exciting, but before a week was through I remembered why this hasn’t worked for me very well.  As soon as I feel the push for giving out my number and meeting up in person, I get…well…cold feet.  I get a panicked feeling that I’m not ready to dance the dating dance, that it will open me up to things I’m not sure that I want to deal with, like rejection, expectations, disappointment… you get the idea, right?

So what’s a girl to do?  I long for the companionship, fun and yes…physical benefits of a relationship, but apparently the ‘work’ involved scares the bejeebers out of me.  Any suggestions??
