This past weekend I attended a dating seminar called "Excuse me, You're Doing it Wrong!" and discovered that I have an entitled attitude towards dating. I think that I should just be able to "meet people" in the world without making a great effort, such as, joining an Internet dating site or attending speed dating events. I have never done either of the later and have met guys through friends and work in the past. However, apparently, that's the completely wrong approach. If I'm not engaged in dating like other people are engaged in their careers (I don't have a career), then I can't expect to ever find a relationship. While I understand that relationships take work, now that I've realized that dating takes work, too, I wonder if I even have the energy to do it. I mean I already have a full-time job. I need to get a career. That would make dating a third job! I guess, I need to be unemployed from dating for a while. Just for today, it's OK to be an unemployed date.
