Dating ADD? It’s a thing
As fun as dating in Atlanta can be, there is a certain part of it that can get frustrating. You know how it is when you start to feel like you are going through a constant stream of dates. You’re meeting people, making pseudo-connections only to find that the interest and pursuit fizzles out faster than you can say …Peachtree.
Although some folks admit to being afraid of commitment, there are others who can’t manage to focus on one great potential romance longer than two solid weeks. I like to call that dating attention deficit disorder. With so many “choices” and distractions (strip clubs?) in this city, is it any wonder we get stuck in a revolving door?
How do you manage drown out all the distractions and really focus on someone who is potentially a good match? Do you think online dating, a good nightlife, and many eligible singles makes it difficult to overcome Dating ADD?
If you think of the last time you met someone you felt a deep connection with, how did you decide to tie up those “loose ends” and focus on that one person? Is it wrong to expect someone you date to be consistent if you both feel the same way about one another?

My last entry for today and how I’m rolling in 2013….
Was helping a coworker pick up the portfolios I carried during the holidays, as she was returning from maternity leave. Okay I’ve done the baby thing so I know all about what it feels like leaving the baby,blah blah blah…I get it. Still, if you ain’t rich or wasn’t born rich or y’all financially set, you gotta work. Well, I’m pretty carry you and the desk another 2 weeks (6 weeks now covering/helping), and cause you want to go home, you let an issue drop through the cracks. I’m IMing you the entire day on how to handle (cause the client was copying me on every email). Well, you (unbeknownst to me), call the client and send them to Timbuktu and say “even Celisea tried to get it done and couldn’t”, log off and head on home. A few minutes after you jet, here comes the SOS – Help email from the client, and states verbatim what you said….lying on me. Yeah, just like I’m chatting it up, laughing and helping you, I ain’t a flunky, nor do I care too much for folks that will burn me. Soooo, I escalate on your behind…yep, I told on you, outright, not even snitching, just told on you. So, while you’re calling my cell, I’m on the phone with my manager, I outright ask, ummm did you lie on me to get out of work. Of course by then you’re scrambling, stuttering, buttering and uttering….lol Well, I say “okay cool, I’ll take your word”, knowing you’re lying. Cool, from that day on, carry your own load ON YOUR OWN! Preacite the recognition you sent the following Monday and the award, but you’re toast with me cause yousa liar. I don’t do liars….in no way shape or form. And you my friend, have been dismissed. I blocked my IM from that point on until she got the point. She tried to email me, but she know she was cut off. I don’t play that and I don’t entertain that. I kept it blocked for some days, to send the message to get the heck up on of asking me for help. We let it go, but you gets the long handled spoon from now on. Today was the first day she got nerve to IM me after the little display of shenanigan-isms….lol Even then, I could feel the egg shells cracking under yo feet.
Mmm hmmm, miss me with bullcrappery.
Night!!!
