I'm Not That Girl

Love is in the air. I had forgotten how many relationships pop up in the Spring in my little town. I feel like I can't go to any church function without being bombarded with new relationships. Now don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that some of these folks are finally officially "off the market." However, this evening was different.


I've been anxiously waiting to hear from the school I interviewed at last week. As the day wore on it became apparent I would not be getting a call, which is not exactly a good sign. Despite my worries about my future, I trotted off to the ward talent show ready to make a splash with my sister. I really needed a light evening of fun and laughter. It was not to be. Within five minutes of my arrival I noticed Bob (see previous post for more info on Bob) sitting next to a fantastic women in the ward. Moments later...yep you guessed it, they were holding hands.


Now, normally I would have felt a small twinge of jealously, followed by happiness for this lovely couple. However, I have recently allowed myself consider Bob as a possible dating option. I had a conversation with my little sister not too long ago about why I no longer assess whether a guy is a suitable dating option anymore. I just feel like it's a waste of my time. If I do end up finding someone who is possible dating material, inevitably he ends up dating some fabulous girl. Honestly, if I had to pick someone besides myself to date Bob, I probably would have picked the girl he chose. Sadly for me, I'm not that girl.


All in all, not one of my better evenings...on a happier note, my sister and I smashed up the stage with our fabulous rendition of "Sisters", red sequined vests and all!
