It isn’t easy dating here in the North Country: especially
when according to statistics, I have a better chance of being hijacked by
terrorists than getting married. Yet still my friends and I persist in playing
the dating game, or romance Russian roulette as we’re more fond of calling it.
Since it seems like most of the men we come across are
looking for arm candy, video vamps, one night stands or sugar mommies,
sometimes you have to explore other options. Perhaps there is a situation that
at first glance seems ordinary. With a little imaginative tweaking, said
situation could be turned into an opportunity. Let’s take this a little
further:
Usually when you go on a date you go to dinner, or a movie,
bowling or for drinks. More times than not, there’s no one on the horizon to
enjoy these activities with you and you’ve hit a dry spell. What’s a girl to
do? You make the best of a situation that, even though it doesn’t look like a
conventional night out, can keep you in practice until your next Mr. Right (or
Mr. Right Now!) comes along.
Let’s say you have to go to the grocery store because the
only thing in your fridge is a box of baking soda and the light bulb. So you
take off your sweats, put on a pair of jeans and a little lipstick and drive to
the store. Once there you get your basket or cart and scope out the area: not
only getting your items but seeing what potential single men might be shopping.
Yes, this might seem a little lame, but if you time it right you can get to the
store while they’re offering free samples to taste and it will seem like a
cocktail party! Time your arrival at the tasting station to coincide with the
cute guy you’ve been discreetly following so you can discuss what you’re
eating. Hey, they only give you bite-sized samples anyway: like appetizers, so
it’s not that much of a stretch. And who knows? Maybe you can work into your
little conversation an actual place you know that has better food, and can
finagle a dinner invitation!
Or here’s one for the slightly “saucier” woman, and you
don’t need too much imagination for this one. Every woman has her “yearly” that
she really looks forward to, ha ha. I don’t know about other ob/g’s, but mine
has an actual cloth smock (not paper) for you to get dressed in and a piece of
candy that you can munch on while he does what he needs to do. If you look at
this the right way, it’s exactly like an expensive date. The guy gives you a
new outfit, gives you chocolate, then you let him get to third base!
I don’t know about you, but it certainly sounds like a date
to me! I mean, like dates I’ve read about…mom, you’re not reading this, are
you?
