Ive been thinking on my 2014 love life and this is the first time Ive went a full calendar year without a girlfriend in some years and itll soon be two years since Ive had a girlfriend. Even though I didnt get the desired end result I appreciate my lessons in dating, romance, and love and I feel like Ive grown as a man. Im still immature at times, I lack understanding when Im quick to make assumptions, I still have to keep my bitterness at bay, Im still naive, and I still have some improvements to make. But Ive gained an appreciation for giving and Ive revisited what it means to be a gentleman. Prior to this year I wouldnt even pay for dates. Well I would but maybe half the time. Now I do that, Ill buy a new shirt for the date, Ill send an Uber out, Ill bring flowers, I pretty much try a lot harder than I use to not only from a materialistic level but from an empathetic, mental, and emotional level. People call me crazy for giving so much but heres my perspective, Im trying to set standards for the women I come across so that kind gestures and interesting fun dates and other things are expected and demanded in their future relationships. Im trying to perfect the craft of leaving people with a good impression. Im a good guy but I have some things to work on before I get into another relationship because my hope is that relationship will be my last. In the mean time Im enjoying creating smiles, memories, and experiences. My goals for my love life this upcoming year is to explore more, be more responsible, and to be more loving while on a quest to avoid settling, complacency, and mediocrity.
