Over the weekend I decided to sign up to mark Watson’s Ten Year Self Improvement challenge. As I’m sure you’ll be very much aware if you are the one reader of this blog (which could very well just be a time traveling version of me) I said I was going to post one of my six challenges every day this week.
So what have we learned so far?
Mainly that i’m terrible at keeping to a blogging schedule, although i’ve never really been that good at that so I for one find comfort in the fact that some things do indeed never change. Other things we’ve learned so far are that I want to learn to play the guitar a lot better than I currently can to justify the ownership of two guitars and that I would very much like to pluck up enough courage to perform some stand up.
Lets move on to 3 of 6
This one has the potential to come off as a bit sappy and hopefully it won’t come across like that. i certainly hope it doesn’t come across as needy, becuase while I my very well be both of those things, it’s not my intention for them to manifest in this one. It’s just how it is.
Number three Find soul mate
Quite a big one I suppose but fairly self explanatory. Believe it or not I am actually a single man! Shocking I know. Don’t worry this isn’t a plea or anything like that. Its probably most helpful if I explain my mindset rather than my love life history (I wouldn’t subject you to that anyway)
I don’t believe that there is one person out there for everyone but rather that there are many people who can complement each other very well and who are capable of falling head over heels in love with each other. So really I suppose I want to find one of them. Most people normally say something like “you need to get out there more” by which they really mean “you need to go to more clubs and bars and dance around drunkenly.”
I’ve never liked the whole going out up town to a club on the pull thing. It’s just not me, that’s not to say however that I don’t like going out, on the contrary I do. When I go out its with my friends and being almost 30 a lot of my friends have lives of their own or live in different places, so nights out are rarer occasion than they used to be and I want to spend that occasion catching up and having a laugh with my friends. If I were to meet someone during the course of one of those evenings that’s fine. But honestly I’ve always hated the idea of “going on the pull” Plus is a loud, dimly lit place full of drunken people really the best place to meet a potential “soul mate?”
Probably not, so I’m going to try and find new ways to talk to women and find out if we like each other.
By that I don’t mean signing up to Match.com. I’ve actually tried that and it’s quite bizarre. I suppose I don’t really know what I mean by ‘find new ways to talk to women and find out if we like each other’ that’s why it’s one of my challenges I suppose. Maybe I mean invent new ways that have never been tried or tested before.
No, probably not.
