Will I Ever Find Someone
As I took a slow walk along the creek behind my house one sunny Sunday last year, I was looking in awe at the ravaged scenery, and the shrubs that some people would argue are flowers, and smelling the water in the creek (that I’m am sure comes from the sewers), when a bird shit on my head. I thought “oh well” just another ordinary day. As I walked along, I came across a friend of mine that I will call Stinky and please don't ask why I call him that, I think the name speaks for itself. As we walked, I mentioned to him that a bird had done its business on the top of my head, and he replied “where is that tree you were walking under, its good luck”. If I had thought for one minute that it was good luck I would have found some dog dirt and rolled around in it, (as you may have figured Stinky really doesn’t have much of a life, but then again, were two of a kind).
Our biggest problem is communicating with women. Stinky can usually mouth a few comments, then he has to go away. I’m a little more relaxed since I work with quite a few women anyway. I can usually start a conversation with them before I start to sweat and have my confidence escape me, then I have to politely excuse myself.
Stinky feels that women's standards are too high when it comes to dating, however, I beg to differ. I really don't believe for a minute the women suggesting that he have a shower before picking her up is considered “high slandered”. Stinky might be the least washed fellow I know, but he is one of the nicest (nicest not brightest). However, he will often come up with intelligent idea's that make more sense then not, but I'm not sure about this one. “We will join a Dating Site” he yelled out. I said before sometimes he comes up with good idea's but this wasn't one of those times. He proceeded to explain that a friend at work suggested the idea(nice friend). “Is this the same friend that leaves deodorant and body wash in your locker”? I asked. “It sure is! He's a very thoughtful person,” (ya right). Stinky said “My friend met a wonderful women on a dating site,” (what women?? the guy he's talking about is gay!) “Why would your gay friend use a dating site to meet women?” I asked, “I think your getting in over your head”. In the end, and after weeks of hiding from Stinky and his crazy idea, I finally decided to give in just to keep the peace.
As I tried to sleep that night, all I could think about was the last date I had, which, to me, had been a dismal failure. I’m sure the woman I'll call (“never full”), hadn’t eaten in a week prior to our date and she must have thought I had a big trust fund or something! After she had swallowed several hors d'œuvres, as well as several other side dishes, expensive wine and a double order of lobster, I checked the balance on my credit card, then to my horror she suggested we order desert! “Desert!?” I quickly reminded her that this was not an all you can eat buffet, she then jumped up called me things I've never heard before and stormed to the door. Like the desperate person I am, I ran after her and asked if she would like to get together with me again, at which time she slugged me with her hand bag (I guess that meant no!). So I went back to the table and sat alone looking at the bill she had racked up and wondered if I would be able to get some overtime at work next week to pay for it.
I started to have a lot of doubts about joining a dating site, but since my best friend had his heart set on it (and knowing he would do anything for me), I decided to go through with it. It turned out to be the best thing we had ever done. Stinky and I both joined a Dating Site, and it wasn’t long before we had responses from some beautiful ladies. We were both very worried and excited to think that we might no longer have to make love to our hand. Stinky asked me “what should I do to get ready?”I said “just get in the shower, turn that water on, use that bar of soap (you only had it for whole year) and wash your worries down the drain”, (as well as the dirt and body odor of course).We double dated that evening to lean on each other, and we had a mind blowing time. We ate, had some drinks, and danced the night away. Stinky yanked me aside and that he was going to end up marrying his date because she was so perfect for him. I gave him a bear hug, and said “follow your heart,” and he did. She seemed to take to him as well, surprisingly!
Well I don't call him Stinky anymore, (no one does now that he has learned basic hygiene). He is and always will be, my best friend. Devon is still with the soul mate that he met on that dating site. This was several years ago and after dating for several months, they got hitched. They had one child and are expecting another any time now. As for myself, it took a little longer, but I finally found my life partner, and we are expecting our first child soon. Life is fantastic and it keeps getting better!
Its true what they say, there's someone for everyone. All you have to do is look in the right place and you'll find them. In many cases, it takes a nudge from someone who cares about you to get you going in the right direction . Life is too short and precious to spend it alone, wondering what your life would be like if you had done something to find that special person. So if you are interested in making a positive move for the future then take my advice, and get off your ass and make the first move.
Hey, if Stinky and I can do it, so can you! There are so many dating sites out there that you might think you'll never find the right one, but I'll give you a tip, this is the link that Stinky and I went to to find the best sites to join and in our opinion its the best place to find dating sites. So if you are tired of being alone and want someone to share your life and love with well just follow this link, you'll be glad you did.
