So you know spring is here.

I would hope it’s that obvious.

And you know what that means?

The dating season gets kicked into high gear.

It’s funny because I haven’t really been active with dating in the past 4 months. I’m so not into it (yet I still talk about it). It’s just fun talking about, and I hear so much around work. Even though 90 percent of the people that I work with are all in relationships, and the 10 percent of us…well, we share our stories.

I think everyone at work pretty much knows that I’ve tried online dating…and it’s not something I wanted to share with everyone. Just my boss and this guy, who I’m gonna name Flirtaholic. It’s quite fitting. Really. Flirtaholic and I get on quite well. I totally get where he’s coming from when he talks about his dating woes. Ever since Flirtaholic knew that I tried online dating, the whole building knows. And this is me going *yikes!* I’m just glad it’s not such a taboo thing anymore.

I’m a rather quiet person at work; I keep to myself. I do my work, I talk to a couple of people…and I go home to do my thing. For some reason I’ve been getting involved at work now. I joined softball last summer; it’s quite fun, but we’re not even close to good. And I even was on the holiday party committee last December. Plus I go to happy hours with them every now and then. And now everyone knows a little about my dating life*.

Now, Flirtaholic will talk to me about his dating adventures. They’re hilarious. Apparently, a lot of his friends (mostly, girls) try to set him up. He ran into one of his friends the other day, and she emailed him the next day and said that she knew someone that she’d like to set him up with because she thought they’d get along rather well. But she didn’t know the girl all too well. This made Flirtaholic ask, “why would you want to set me up with someone that you didn’t know too well?” The girl said, “Ah i just thought you’d get along, that’s all.” (And you know what that means, “Oh they’re both single, they’d be perfect together…*rolling eyes*). So she sent him a picture of the girl. Flirtaholic showed me the picture. When I saw the picture, I was like “HUH?! NO way!”

Don’t get me wrong, she was a beautiful girl, but in no way was she anywhere near his type!

Yes, it was based on her looks–she was really a beautiful girl. But I know Flirtaholic’s type, and he likes certain girls. And his past 3 exes all fell into one category. (No, I’m not going to say what category because it’s completely besides the point). Flirtaholic was like “What? What would make her think I’d want to date her?” And she knew his last two exes. So he told her nope. I thought the whole situation was hilarious mainly because I can see where she was coming from, thinking they’d get along.

Flirtaholic is truly a people person. He’s the first person that every new person who comes to work at my company that everyone meets on their first day of work. I’m not JOKING! He really is. So I see where the girl’s coming from. But when it comes to dating, he likes a particular type, and I don’t hold it against him. It just fits his personality. I love to hear about his dating adventures…but he’s told me them all. It’s getting old… and I don’t blame him.

Dating does get old. It really does. Those 90% who are in relationships where I work at, all envy us. And we envy them. Everyone always believes that the grass is greener on the other side.

*That scares me….mind you, this blogging about my dating is completely different.
