I'm in love. I'm in love....and I don't care who knows it!

To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment. ~Jane Austen

Since I am so behind on posting, I decided to designate certain days to Themed Posts.

And today is........Single Lady Saturday.  Yes, the fact that I’m posting on the subject of being single on “Date-Night” is not lost on me. Hardy. Har. Har. 

So maybe someone flirted with me the other day.  I think.  Maybe.  I don't know.  I am going to be honest, I googled it afterwards.  "How to know when a guy is attracted to you?".

There have been so many things that have happened since my last post that I don't even know where to begin. 

Let's begin with about a month ago I had a crush on a guy.  It lasted about a week.  I prayed about it and immediately it vanished.  It was amazing.  My crushes usually last for long periods of time and I tend to have a bit of an obsessive personality, so I gave it to God.  Then that night I was talking to him and the crush just dissolved.  I knew immediately that I must not accept anything less than a guy with the morals and ideals that I expect and deserve.  I call him my own personal Tim Tebow.  I am holding on to the fact that guys like Tim Tebow are rare but DO EXIST. 

I have come to the realization that my weight issue and being uncomfortable in my own skin have been somewhat of a blessing.   I have an amazing God that has protected me from myself and others so that I wouldn't mess up and regret my actions.  Wow.  Discovering that has given me an amazing peace about being single and being....me.  Don't get me wrong....I have weight issues.  I am not saying they're OK.  They are a set-back.  I am unhealthy and I want to be a witness mentally and physically but I no longer feel...."Woe is me!"  I have peace; and feel like I can get to the place I am meant to be.  I digress.  It's not Weight Loss Wednesday....It's Single Lady Saturday.

Since I have come to the realization recently that I am closer to dating it has brought up so many questions. Not just the question I googled.....but also.....How do you let a guy know you are interested whilst letting him be the man?  I'm sure some of you (or most) are thinking I should really know these things by now.  Or that I am over thinking all of it, but all this time NOT dating has given me A LOT of time to think....over think. 

So I am beginning to understand that it is officially only in movies that guys act or pursue without being prompted in some kind of way.  In fact, Jane Austen had to write these men into existence to get a love story that begins by Darcy pursuing Elizabeth without any inclination she felt the same way.  I'm wrapping my head around this....I'll adjust my mindset.

In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels. ~Jane Austen

My new motto is to "BE BOLD!"  I am going to have to show some gumption if I am going to step out on a limb and show a guy I'm interested.  There is no guy.  Not yet, anyway.
