Online Dating

Year end functions are not my style and I would rather sit at home and watch TV with a big bowl of popcorn and an even bigger box of tissues. What’s the point of going when you are ignored and treated like a sub-human all the time. I just couldn’t do this to myself anymore and so I crept away in my little box feeling sorry for myself.

Sometimes when I get a phone call and asked out on a date, I still pinch myself just to make sure that I am not in a dream. I thank my lucky stars that my life has changed and am grateful for every day that comes my way now.

What actually transpired I don’t really know except I did make a few adjustments which I remember, to my life. These weren’t really huge life altering ones. I can’t say for sure, but maybe these three things just did it for me and put me on the eligible list again.

Maybe it was the cocktail jewelry I wear so often. I bought a few beautifully crafted pieces at a fair a few months ago and started wearing them with my clothes more often. I would dress myself up in front of the mirror and would make one hundred percent sure that they match my outfits perfectly. Everyone always complimented me and even a few male colleagues said kind things to me.

With this idea that outward beauty is also sometimes necessary, I started experimenting with different fragrances. I loved the new beauty perfume that everyone is wearing and found that the opposite sex would definitely turn their heads when I would walked past them. My colleagues loved my new look and smell and arranged all sorts of blind dates for me. I was stunned to say the least.

And lastly, what I think put me on the list of many an eligible bachelor, was when a friend suggested that I have a few acne facial treatments done. I of course did not want to face it, but my skin was looking a bit uninviting. I had a blackhead and blemish problem which no makeup seemed to hide. So I went off to a clinic where they specialize in this type of thing and had my pores opened and cleansed. It really helped and I was looking radiant every day.

So having done these subconscious acts, could have improved my outward look and made me more accessible to the opposite sex. Who knows really?
