Dating is Miserable but it’ll get you laid

I believe in a thing called love.

I believe in a lot of things; some form of god, karma, the power of former drool worthy leading men in drag (ex: 1, 2) , dreams, ghosts, and the healing qualities the "awww" noise has when applied to a sick or injured male.

One thing I have really started to follow is my horoscope. A few weeks ago I picked up a discounted copy of Your 2010 Personal Horoscope at Borders. For a laugh, I read about the "predictions" for months past and was shocked to find them to be rather accurate. I read on and was even more shocked by the accuracy of my situation with my friends and personal appearance. Being who I am and what I write about my, obvious, next step was to check into the future of my love life this month:

Love is good this month, but there are ups and downs. Without the downs we would never appreciate the ups.  The 2nd to the 7th brings sudden love opportunities or social invitations. Love happens out of the blue. On the 11th and 12th there is more conflict between you and your beloved. Try not to make things worse - work to minimize the negativity - the problem will soon pass. On the 7th your love planet moves into Aries and you become a 'love at first sight' kind of person. You become more aggressive in love - fearless. When your intuition is on, this is good. You go directly to your objective without the muss and fuss of all the courtship rituals. But if your intuition is off, there can be mistakes in love - bad choices. However, this is a month where you learn that there is nothing to fear in love, but fear itself. Pick yourself up and jump back into the fray.

Whether I was a victim of suggestion or not I did have an interesting weekend o' love:

1. I met a very attractive man on Saturday. He is currently looking at law schools (ick!) and used to work as a non-profit consultant. He's a runner and has a smile which rendered me at least 20 points lower on the IQ scale.We exchanged numbers and now I'm 2 quarters deep into a wicked intense game of waiting.

Score: Love All

2. 4 people confronted me about this post over the weekend. I discovered 6 things due to their assumptions:

2a) I found out an old friend is gay.
2b) It is very fun to tease someone with, "why wouldn't you date me!??!" after they drunkenly blindsided you by declaring they could never be attracted to you. The friend was quick to follow it up with "because I want to be your FRIEND!!!". Alcohol is hilarious.
2c) A friend has a crush on me.
2d) One of my exes from High School is gay.
2e) People talk a lot about oral sex when they're drunk.
2f) I'm a wuss. The correct guy did confront me and I denied everything.

3. I had a very intense hot make out session.
4. I can actually be friends with someone I used to have feelings for (major breakthrough alert) as long as they never cheated on me and don't epitomize "douchebag" as a lifestyle.

Today's Horoscope: Look at things from a more philosophical perspective, Scorpio,  instead of seeing everything from such an intensely emotional one.
