Dating...

So I was thinking today that dating can be the most fun yet roughest part of life. There's not really much I have to say on the subject, except that never has life been more stressful and fun at the same time... With school out of the way for a few months and just work during the day (which consists of me facebooking for 8 hours) I've had a lot of time to hang out with the fellas and pay attention to the people I haven't had time for in a while.

I guess before my mission the dating scene seemed so harmless and uncommitted with 2 years of safety space ahead... But now everyone seems to think this is the real deal! We're playing for keeps now. Whatever happened to taking a girl out for a fun night without having to promise a second and third date? Buddies are dropping like flies and every 19 year old girl seems to be jumping on the "M" word bandwagon. It's just craziness and I'm still just trying to understand the whole thing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to be a bachelor to my mid thirties (by the way - I love "The Bachelor") but I think this is the time to just live life up. I mean, come on, I'll only be a single, white, American 22 year-old once in my life.
