I had the pleasure last night of taking myself out on the town, and I must say I had the best time. I had basically forced myself to drive to Detroit after being told my friend wasn’t going to make it to the after work mixer with me. So I headed down anyways and after calling a few male friends that flaked, i was all by myself. It ended up working out that I was alone because I was suppose to be working my “experiment”. I am happy to report I did get a number!! ok so technically I didn’t get it myself someone got it for me and the guy is like pushin 50, but its just a date right??? lol
Anyways I had a ball, just kicking it, dancing and being with people. I love going back to detroit and last night was one of those times I missed my city. But I am side tracking…….
I ended up asking a girl sitting next to me to do the ball room hustle since no one had gotten out on the dance floor yet, she agreed by the end of the night I had 3 new friends all over 40. After dancing my butt off and having my chicken wings stolen, we chatted it up about you guessed it MEN!! I was first in shock because not only was all three people over 40 but they all were MARRIED, why is a married person out at the club without there s.o??? They all had interesting stories and when I say I was schooled? I am not kidding. I can’t even tell you about half the stuff they had to say about being young vs old, whats REALLY important in a relationship all the way down to sex lol?? at the bar no less. At any rate one thing the two women kept sayin was make sure a man is stable and DO NOT marry for LOVE!! wha?? what do you mean?? She said its all cute at first but when YOU get it to it you will find that there are more things that are important than love.
This is shocking to hear a woman say but maybe its true? Idk, what I do know is that I look forward to just enjoying myself having a ball making friends and living life! after all it is what this experiment is about in part, it just sucks that i have to drive an HOUR to find entertainment!!
Anywhoot stay tuned? will Mik go out with the 50 year old?? will she not???
Hey Ms. Mikki! Actually it’s not that surprising to hear a woman say “do not marry for love”, I practically grew up hearing that saying over and over again. From mother, aunts, grandmothers, great aunts etc…etc… But I think the point that they were/are trying to make is that love can often blind us to the essentials of a relationship. Is the person generous or selfish? Is the person reliable? Is the person kind to you… etc…etc. That’s the stuff that matters in relationships.
And re: the club by yourself? I would be that lady at the bar with her friends. I don’t believe in being together all the time every day. I tend to need my alone space and remember that I am an individual not just a part of a couple.
Why come I just discovered your blog? Lol!
lmao LP so sad I missed you in Michigan but at least you found my blog lol. You are so right about the misconceptions of marriage for love. Even thought those two women didn’t say that directly I understood that the point was that you should look for OTHER THINGS as you said.
Ha Ha Mik…. I just fell out laughing after reading about your stolen chicken wings…… Even though I already knew about it…. It was still funny…. LOL
