Metro Girl: It’s All Great with Better than Good Expectations
Now, I cannot say I’m terribly comfortable living alone and remain an honest woman. However, I’m not unhappy in that way, either. I merely suggest it here as an intriguing piece of info setting up the story I am prepared to explain in grand style.
This time last week yours truly was walking the dog, Sandy, pondering about joining the Phoenix Great Expectations dating service. As of this minute, I stand to each of you as a delightfully single member of the matchmaking service. For real, I am. It’s full of fun, attractive people! If you’ve been paying attention, perhaps you’re thinkin’, “Stop blabbering and tell me about it already.”
Here’s how it went down, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and felt encouraged. They’re for the honest singles who think dating should mean something.
‘Cause I’d never been a fan of whatever it is that serial daters (ie: everyone I know) have named “The Dating Game.” I got it more than anyone should. Each night they ask, “Are you two serious yet?” and “Please tell me you two are dating.”
“Baloney!” I reply, and playfully so. “Have you seen what’s out there?”
“Not true,” they deadpan. “That’s just an excuse for your cynicism.”
That’s just my best friend (she’s the best) 
Trisha Holland. She pours reality to my brain 99% of the time. Friends are always there . No countering that, and I thank her for it.
Coming home to the point of this post. As I picked from hundreds of combinations of outfits for my first Great Expectations date, I realized something honest. For the longest time, I hadn’t held the greatest of literal great expectations for dating and myself in the fun-filled path of being human. It’s good to be single, even more so when you get out there and have fun. Holding great expectations does wonders for a caring soul.
