I saw a new short play at the Fertile Ground Festival in Portland today that referenced online dating and the man in the play said he wanted to court the girl. I had to stop and think to myself when the last time I had really been courted was.
Seems like these things happen, right? Guys take ladies out to dinner, go on walks with them, make them something, give them a flower, stop to surprise them with coffee... you know... court.
Lately I have been feeling, however, that all the guys I know seem pretty hands off. I am told from time to time by friends (both male and female) that I am "a catch" and that "anyone would be lucky to date me" or "not to settle". So, what gives? Am I not putting out the vibes? Or are guys done courting? Maybe I just need to find my own guy to court. Seems like most guys interpret this as "needy" or "stalker-ish".
I've also noticed that when I really am into someone lately that I have a bit of a tendency to get nervous and run away. Awesome. That seems super helpful. Yeesh. Dating.
