How Can I Meet Mr. Right, If I Won't Speak to Him?

Why do I find it so difficult to approach men?

While at the supermarket one Monday around mid-morning, I saw this guy who was a cross between David Beckham and Channing Tatum. Of course with me being a Plain Jane, I did not approach him in fear of REJECTION. When I say Plain Jane, I mean my makeup arsenal consists of a tube of Carmex. And since I was only making a quick run to the store, I was in an oversized t-shirt and baggy jeans. Ugh..

My extreme shyness never helps matters either. With that being said, I've only approached a guy once before and it was a complete and utter disaster. From that point forward every man that has come into my life (which I can count on one hand) has been the one to approach me first. (Maybe that's why I get such losers... just a thought)

But with my extreme shyness, Plain Jane appearance, and lack of appropriate attire, what truly, truly kept me from approaching him was the fact that he was white and I'm not. Oh all my friends say it doesn't matter, but I think it would have mattered to him. I could be wrong, but I guess now I'll never know.

Make Miss Me, Mrs. You

It never fails that when I go back home to visit my family, one of the comments I get is, “When are you getting married?” My sister has been even made the comment that she has “wondered” about me. (meaning as in which team I play for) All this because I haven’t been in a hurry to rush down the aisle. Just because she choose to get married at the ripe ol’ age of twenty doesn’t mean I have to take that same path. You would think I was an octogenarian with a house full of cats instead of in my twenties. So I decided to take a stroll through my Facebook to check out what my fellow classmates are up to. Sure enough, over half of my graduating class is now married. Or divorced.

One day when I meet that person I just can’t stand to be without, I’ll make that trip down the aisle. But why do they care? It’s not like they have a vested interest in whether or not I get married. My cousins never get this question. I’m beginning to think the reason I get this question and they do not is because I chose college and career were as the chose not to go to college and have kids instead. So I guess it’s no rush for them to get married and have kids (they have kids but are not married). Whereas I’m not getting any younger. Or so they keep telling me.
