Dating in the 21st Century

Despite my many attempts, I cannot get the guy I'm dating to read the blog.

"It's private," he says.

"Um. No. It's public," I respond.

"Yeah, but it's like reading your diary," he continues.

"No. It's like reading my blog," I counter.

"I'd rather read writing of yours that's more crafted and polished," he states matter-of-factly.

I pause.

He doesn't realize this is grounds for a break up, but I remain calm and point out that he cannot know how crafted and polished the blog is if he isn't reading it. And in that moment, I decide it's best that he doesn't read the blog so that I might rally the blogging troops who will wonder with me, WTF?

This is a blessing, I believe. You can rail and rant and piss and moan and complain and hail all you want, and he'll never know ... as far as you know.

I love this entry which is well polished with excellent timing and very compelling - just look at the comments! I, too, believe he secretly reads.

Just as I thought, friends. Luckily, he's got some other stuff going for him...

Hubby won't read the red basement. I am over it. Not him, just trying to get him to read it. He says that the estrogen blinds him.
