Firstly, You couldn’t describe me as exactly satisfied being picky and remain an honest woman. But, I’m not uncomfortable about it, either. I only mention it in this blog as an ear-catching detail foreshadowing what I am about to explain in grand style.

Last Monday I was talking to Trisha, considering buying a membership to a Dallas Singles dating service. As of this minute, I stand to the blogosphere as a happy member of the matchmaking service. Seriously, it’s true. It’s great! If you know me at all, you may be wondering, “You totally owe me an explanation.”

So, I noticed these Great Expectations Reviews and felt encouraged. They’re for the honest singles who care enough to know dating should have a point.

Because in all honesty I’d never enjoyed or even tolerated this silly social phenomenon a lot of singles have named “dating.” I heard it all the time. Each night readers nagg, “Are you seeing somebody?” and “Oh I know just the guy for you!”

“Nonsense,” I banter right back, smiling ear to ear. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”

“Don’t be silly,” they deadpan. “How would you know, you haven’t seen Friday Night Magic in a year!”

That’s just my best friend (on a good day) Patty McCarthy. She pours common sense to my brain to put me back on course. Caring souls I depend on . No countering that, so I signed up.

Coming home to the message of this essay. As I browsed from thousands of quality singles for my first singles event with Great Expectations, something occurred to me that was quite true. For the longest time, I hadn’t had too many emotional great expectations for dating and myself in the adventurous winding course of this world. Being single isn’t so bad, especially if you use the freedom to date. Having great expectations works terrifically on a cynics social life.
