Valentine's Day

So, in honor of the sucky weekend to come, I thought I would waste this space on my love life again, or lack thereof.

Wow, that sounded depressing.

In reality, I'm not depressed. I am fully aware that it does not exist, but I'm having such a good time living my life every day that I'm not sad in the least. I have experienced a pang or two in the past week when I realized that Sunday was the holiday. And, yes, I am one of those people that are in the camp who believe it is a manufactured-by-Hallmark holiday. But still, when I have several couples solicit my advice for what they should do this weekend, I get a little frustrated that I don't have any plans myself.

Instead, I seem to collect crushes. I have a lot of male friends, even more so than female friends. I prefer the company of guys for the most part. There are several that are single and that I would not mind if they asked me out. Hence the tiny crushes. I figure, if I enjoy their company now, wouldn't it be even more so if the next step was taken?

I realize I have created a vicious cycle in this. I prefer hanging out with guys more than girls, so I hang out. They in turn see me as one of the guys, and keep me firmly in the friend zone. Then, when it comes time for any of them to date, not only do they not see me, but they ask me for advice or to act as "wingman!"

To close, I send a silent prayer out to the interwebs- send me a man!!

Not really, but I wouldn't mind if one of my friends set me up. I'm sure if had something/someone else to focus my energies on, I would be able to eliminate the tiny flutters I experience.
