Dating

I am not a big fan of dating. maybe perhaps it is because I'm not very good at it, or in the words of my roommates, "You're not a very good flirter..." Well, being at home is not helping my situation at all, the pool to pick from is very shallow. I have gone on a couple of blind dates that have neither turned into a second. oh well, I wasn't that interested, but mom always says if she would have given up on dad after that first date then I wouldn't be here. Dating now a days just seems so complicated to me. I can't quiet figure out why this is but there is a fine line between calling to much and not calling enough and who is supposed to ask out for the second date and etc. etc. Do you understand my frustration? I just wish I knew a better way. It's a huge compliment to me when someone asks if I would be interested in going on a blind date with someone they know, but then I'm always so sad when it just doesn't work or something. I never thought I was truly that bad at it, but I guess I am. I'm still young, and I'm not thinking I'm going to die alone and lonely but I think I'm just frustrated today and needed to vent. I'm not the type of girl to just put it all out there and make out with some random person at the drive in, (like Ethan) :) But, some say that's my problem...I don't know. Help!? (if this blog even made any amounts of sense.)
