What Kind Of Dater Are You?

At some point in every single girl's life there comes a time for deep spiritual introspection. A time when you have to look deep into your soul...connect with your inner self...and ask the question that philosophers have struggled with for centuries. What kind of dater am I?

I'm not sure about you but this is something I analyze way more then I should. For the most part I have great dates, but for some reason they never pan out into anything long term, and I am really curious as to why. Like any other confident woman I think I am a pretty good catch. And Lord knows I've taken the bait plenty of times. So why can't any of these guys reel me in?

Is it the way I date? It seems to me women break down into five different types of daters.

1. THE OPTIMISTIC DATER

This is a woman who always looks on the bright side of things. She sees each date as an opportunity to meet that special someone. She may get down because of a string of bad dates but she perseveres and never gives up. I hate (envy) this type of dater because since as hard as I try to stay positive ... I just keep slipping off that damn horse.

2. THE CYNICAL DATER

A woman who walks into the date expecting the worst. And usually gets it. Now lets be honest, if you've been on a couple bad dates in a row it's hard not to turn into Negative Nancy. But remember there's only one guy that wants to end up with her at the end of the night. Jack Daniels.

3. THE IMPATIENT DATER

Now here's a woman who...well...who's um... Okay, it's me. We are a breed of women who have been there, done him...I mean "that". We have heard all the same lines, had all the same first date conversations and are now ready to meet that one guy who completely takes us by surprise and brings some originality to the whole dating experience, and he's got 10 minutes to do it! Crazy right?
