Bringing New Meaning to the Term, “Dry Spell”
Monday, June 8th, 2009Happy Monday, people!
Today, I am excited to report that (I, and) THTM have been mentioned in a new article about “Involuntary Celibacy,” a concept I find too funny and oh-so-2009. Basically, it speaks right to the heart of those of us who are just-out-of-a-relationship-so-how-can-we-possibly-think-of-new-boys, in that it refers to that period in life when there is absolutley no hanky-panky happening in your life. And you’re kinda glad.
Whether we are abstaining because we’re just not ready to jump back into the dating pool yet, (or we already have and found it um, freezing), OR we are deathly afraid of contracting swine flu, sometimes a girl’s just gotta pull back the reigns and say, “woah.”
I opted out of the scene for awhile because I just didn’t want to subject myself to any bad dates, nor did I want to unwittingly burst into tears over appetizers by getting myself into something I wasn’t ready for. I waited almost a full year before I even agreed to go on a date. And then, it was another six months before I let any of them actually touch me! I’m happy with my (very personal) decision, but it takes all kinds. And this article mentions them all.
So don’t feel bad about your self-imposed dry spell. It happens to the best of us. It’s time we started owning it. Come on, it’s even a got a hip new name and everything!
