What Has Been Never Shall Be Again

OK so I have been more then a little slack updating this little blog. I would like to blame it on the lack of angel wings but clearly I can't blame it all on my tall bedazzled friend. I guess I just haven't felt very motivated to share the stories. Because let's be honest how often and how many different ways can you tell the same story. So in the past few months lots of things have happened to me in my single Sarasota city life. First let's address this horrible new thing called I am a guy and can't pick up the phone and call you. Nope I would prefer the much more ridiculous way of texting and fbooking you until you are so confused as to what's what. I seriously think that might be the new game plan for the boys...If you cant win on your own court level the playing field. It's a whole new technology game out there. I can't be sure how many relationships I have been dancing around in the last two months but let me assure my blackberry is blowing up!!! What happened to the old fashioned ways of picking up a phone and calling a girl. Saying hi how are you would you like to have dinner. Nope these new boys about town will text you and sext you and facebook you about absolutely nothing. They are flirty and fun but will never quite ask you out, and just when you think you have cut though the bs and done enough dancing they will indeed hightail it in run.. I think it's no coincidence that grown ass women are in love with a fictional vampire.. Yep You heard me right I am talking about Edward. He's centuries old and treats a woman like she should be treated. Well when he's not thinking of making her the main course!! Shows like True Blood based on the The Southern Vampire Series and the movie and books for the Twilight series are blowing up the charts. There rise in popularity is not some new fascination for the vampire and underworld. If that was the case we would have had this same craze over the Anne Rice Novels back in the day. Nope both lead vampire characters in each series are centuries old. They are old fashioned, have the ways of a gentleman and are at the heart what ever woman is looking for. Now I don't care how many dating books a girl is going to read.. from Steve Harvey's latest recycling to classic he's just not that into you.. they are only beating around the bush.. the true southern gentleman is a lost and dying breed. I started reading twilight on a whim. I did not expect to get sucked in like every other teenage girl on the planet. In fact I assumed I would find them childish like the Harry Potter books. I was so wrong. Edward is indeed the man every girl is dreaming of. And Bella is the reflection of everything a teenager girl feels deep down inside looking for some validation. OK so I am getting off point again. My point is really that texting and fbooking your new crush is less then ideal and the opposite of romantic or hot. I knew better then to get sucked into the trap. But once again that teenage girl full of optimism and all electric with a new crush fell into the trap for centuries. I forgot my worth and value and threw it all out the window for a cute words of verbiage and the hope of a happy ever after. So guys if you are reading this and I highly doubt you are.. pick up the phone. If you like her call her and don't play games with her. You may get wrapped up in the what you can get out of it game. But please remember she is someones sister, daughter and best friend. She loves, she cries, she hurts.. and she doesn't exist just for your pleasure no matter how tough you think she might be. On another note I have also had the direct opposite experience. Dates with a guy who pursues you and actually wants to be with you. What a Novelty. What was nice... the door opening, the chair pulling, actually time in public, the get better teas in my mailbox when I was sick, and the surprise flowers on my doorstep just because. I don't know what the future holds for this gentleman but I have to say that letting a girl know you appreciate her is always sexy. Can you want something so bad that will always allude you? Is it true that the minute you don't want it it will find you? And how do you stop wanting the very thing you feel you were put on this earth to be? These topics might be too difficult to tackle in the space of my funny little blog. But I am not sure we aren't destined to create our mistakes again and again until somehow we break the cycle and strike a new path. They say every relationship that closes teaches you a lesson to make the next that much stronger. I hope so. I hope at some point we can truly say what has been never shall be again. I am looking forward to a happy and promising future.
