So I've noticed this before, but today it really hit me. I'm the girl people date before they date the person they want to spend the rest of their life with (or enter a serious relationship with). I don't know if dating me helps them figure out exactly what they don't want in a life partner (by the way, eff that, I'm a catch) or what, but it's happened three times and the third is now engaged.
I dated a guy on an off since I was 15, after our last attempt (when I was 19) he met a girl who he's been dating for the last 5+ years, that happens to look like me which is kind of creepy, by the way. Then I casually dated a really good friend from elementary school, only for him to kind of vanish...but Facebook told me that he met a girl that he dated for 2+ years (they've since broken up). AND I re-dated my first boyfriend (from Pre-K) and that lasted for a few months. I think I was more in love with the idea of reuniting with the kid I used to play house with than I could ever be with the guy....he owned a pair of Dallas Cowboy Crocs for Christ's sake (I know, what was I thinking?!). But he was by far the most immature person I've ever dated and is now engaged to the girl he started dating after me. Let's not even mention the political savvy guy I dated in Feb 2012 (the story never made it onto the blog because he was SO nice and I broke his heart right before Valentine's Day and then he unfriended me on Facebook because I posted a picture of a heart shaped cookie my boss gave me)..Because he's getting married to the girl he met on Match.com right after me.
Don't get me wrong, I don't wish that I ended up with any of these guys...looking back at it now, they were all wrong for me for so many reasons. Not to mention, I really do believe I'm with exactly who I'm supposed to be with, it's just an interesting pattern and it got me thinking...
