Cupids Dating Blog

There are other periods though, when you have the time to spend out and about, to put yourself in places where you can randomly bump into strangers and you still find it hard to meet anyone. It's those days when I find the whole dating scene really frustrating and mystifying.

Then, of course, there are days when everything is going well. What's the line from Swingers? Some days you're just money, and that's all there is to it. I've never been one to think about the uses of astrology for dating but when you have those days it does feel like all the planets have aligned or something. Those are good days.

Now, irony comes into the picture when you've actually met someone for whom you find yourself seriously interested. This is what happened to my buddy. He's been having a dry spell for a long while now and he's been complaining about it a lot. Then, just last week, he meets this woman that he's head-over-heals for. Seriously, I think the guys really fallen for this one.

So, what happens? He's happy, he's not even looking at other women and then all of a sudden he gets calls from every girl he's been interested in for months. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but strange things are happening. The girl at the sandwich place where he has lunch every day, who he has never spoken more than three words to, randomly asked him out on a date. He's a good guy and not of this is changing how he feels for the women he's just met, but he walks around asking, "why now?" So this is my question about irony: why is it that when you're off the market, so to speak, you suddenly capture the most interest? Whoever can figure that one out is going to be rich.
