Hmmm so I’ve been thinking about this whole dating thing. I can talk about dating with you guys, can’t I? We’re all friends here right?

So anyway, for those of you who don’t know me, I’ve been a single mom for ten years (in september and yes, I celebrate). On the downside, well, I have a tendancy to date losers. Now I’m not saying all men are losers; I’m just saying I PICK losers, so about six years ago, after the last Boyfriend Disasters, I decided I needed to work on me, and stop dating, and just get right with myself. Overall, I think this was the best decission I could have made, however six years was a bit too long. I’ve decided that one thing I really need to do for myself is go on a date. Soon. And not just for the obvious reasons, either. I really need to get a life.

But here’s the thing…and this is where it gets a bit…well…tacky.

I don’t like big men. Overweight men even *sigh* and it’s tacky because I’m overweight. Now, don’t get me wrong…gimme a man built like Toby Keith and I’m all over it, give me a tall skinny man, give me a man with a swimmers build (give me Gary Allen) and I’m a goner but for the most part, fat men just don’t do it for me. And I feel like SUCH a hypocrite. Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s not all about looks and I have dated overweight men before–okay one, and I thought he was a total hottie (ex bull rider with a goatee, a great smile and the prettiest green eyes I’ve ever … gazed into) and great in bed to boot. He’s the one who introduced me to Edward Norton (who is now one of my fave actors).

FWIW I also have old man issues–never mind that I’ll be 38 this year, old men squick me out. Unfortunately, Vee says that at my age, I’m old-man bait

Someone please share your hangups with me so I don’t feel so bad. Even if you’re married, what were your dating hangups when you were single and did you marry someone who challenged them?
