So, I am going to vent for a moment. I don't want to come across as cynical, depressed or hopeless. I just need to vent. I really am OK, just mostly frustrated with my present situation.I was watching Sense and Sensibility the other day and I realized how perfectly it describes my "dating" life. If you don't remember the movie...click here. You may remember two sisters one who falls in love with this great guy, who does and says all of the perfect things. He seems to love her back but you can never be too certain. Well, older sister gets involved (she can't have her brother marry a lower class woman) and breaks up the pair. Sister two falls in love with the" bad" boy. He loves her back but ditches her for a woman who has 50,000 pounds. He marries the rich girl, but secretly always wants to be with Marrianne (sister #2).
The past couple months I seem to be attracting both of these guys. Unfortunately for me, I don't have the movie to show me the guys feelings so I just have to make assumptions here (but I think that I am pretty good at reading guys and the signals they send. Then again...maybe I am not. I AM still single.)
One thinks I am great, loves to spend time with me...but I don't make the 50,000 pounds (or some other lame, shallow excuse) so I am the girl that he wants but will never do anything about! The other guy also likes to be around me, will go out of his way to be with me, but there is some outside pull (maybe his evil sister is trying to break up the match) not allowing him to do anything about it.
In the movie, guy #1 does end up confessing his love to sister #1. You know the scene, Elinor starts blubbering like a baby. It's the best! And sister #2 ends up getting someone way better than the loser jerk that she loved so much(or so she thought). One of these days I will have my happily ever after like the sisters. But, in the meantime I am still trying to find out which guy it will be (and getting really frustrated with guys who think I am great but will never DO anything about it)!!!!!

Awwww Jennica one day there a guy will have some good sense!!! Don't stress too much about it okay? A girl in one of my wards in Provo had given me a book years ago called The Paper Bag Princess. In the front cover she wrote: "Someday your prince will come...just remember who the King is".
So many guys need to get a life and get on the ball...You don't need any of those kind any way. Mr. Perfect is waiting for you.
: )
so tragic! and depressing. I am so glad not be in the dating scene anymore. (wait, that was 10 years ago.) but it has its perks, even the sad stuff is kind of fun in a dramatic sort of way right? PS, it only takes that one to stick, and then it will all be worth it, you wll just be a little pissed it took him so long to find you!
I hate that movie!!!
Hey Jennica!
I came across your blog from Carmen's, I hope that's okay. I loved your description and I swear that Jane Austen pulls more girls by their heart strings throughout the decades than any other movie. I don't have any words of advice, but when I read this blog, I just thought of those feelings. And I think all I can say is UGGGH. But Props for being a productive functioning person in society and moving forward!
I could say it will be better...someday..or it will get better like some know it all married woman...but can I tell you being married..well I ADORE my hunni, but I still cry at hopeless romantic films...notebook, Pride & Predjudice (sp),...etc. What I am trying to say, is you are awesome, why should you worry about who will love you, you rock, and THE ONE will find you someday. Even in marriage you find you still want more romantic mushy stuff!
WOW that was deep for me...sorry! haha! Miss ya!
PS. Not to seal your doom-but look at the amazing Sherri Dew!!! She rocks, and she is single. I see her in you - the coolness, not the loneliness! haha. :)
