My Picker is Broken

I'm getting to a point in life...or shall I say...ANOTHER point in life....where I've actually been trying when it comes to dating! Whoa...go figure. It's really hard for me to get out there, as it is for most individuals I am sure, but it seems every time I try, I either got there too late or the guy just isn't interested. OR..my favorite...which tends to happen to me quite regularly....He has some former flame that he can't get over, and even though he flirts with me and we go out a few times and maybe even get to the point where we SHOULD be in a relationship, he says, "I just can't get over so and so". (that story comes from a name rhyming with Heff...looooong story) Stab..stab..stab......or "I really like this girl, what do YOU think?" STAB STAB STAB!!! (ok I dont want any guys out there to read into this wondering if that is them....)

When did I become every likable man's relationship counselor? (Not that I mind it for my friends, by all means, but you get my drift....I really do enjoy talking to my guy friends about their girls. )

Or, perhaps, I always go after the ones that aren't right for me. Anyone else ever been there before? My picker is broken. I just hope the Lord forces the right one into my path...or forces me into his path...or something......

The trouble is, the one's that DO go after me are a little bit...well....scary. Now, I tend to be a little bit oblivious...so, I shouldn't generalize that statement to all males who are interested or have been forward. Let's just say maybe I am only aware of those who are incredibly forward and blunt. This is flattering for maybe a day...but it really doesn't last much longer than that. Haha poor guys....I really have the hardest time knowing if they are interested, and if I do know they are interested, I get scared away. I guess if they are they should just ask me out. And do it in an obvious way..not....lets hang out and watch a movie together with lots of other people around.

I guess what I'm saying is, this is just a big exasperated sigh. What am I doing that is so wrong?
