Dating... For Realisies

So, normally, I feel like this is just a desperate call for attention, or some way to throw yourself out there for people, but right now, I'm seeing it as a minute of public self-reflection.

Many people like to run out there and post blogs talking about how they wish they had a girlfriend/boyfriend. I think this makes you look desperate and it bugs me usually, but this is different. Why? Because I say so.

I just got done watching "He's Just Not That Into You" (Yes, I know I'm behind on my movies) and it was actually pretty good.

And it got me thinking...about my past relationships. I haven't been known to have the longest lasting, nor most serious relationships in the world, but I've never really wanted that.

I have always enjoyed casual dating. I have been very much like Alex, (if you've seen the movie) in the fact that I have always distanced myself from people when a relationship was starting. I've always had an attitude where, if thing went south, "NEXT". The whole, "There are other fish in the sea," attitude.

PLOT SPOILER
At the end of the movie, Alex realizes that he can't keep going on like this, that he actually wants a real relationship finally.

It was at that moment that I realized the same thing. I'm so sick of flings and casual dating. I actually want to date some one long enough to get comfortable with them.

I'm not trying to run out there and scream, "Hey girls! Come and get me!" I'm just publicizing my epiphany that, I need to try to hold on to a relationship.

So from now on, I'm running at every relationship I find at full force. I'm not going to let anything scare me away from what could be a great thing.

I can't wait for the day when I'll find someone who can always make me happy, but until then, I'll be looking, and I won't settle for casual dating, and I definitely won't be ending any relationships for no reason as I have in the past.
