We need to become friends. LOL. Let me say a few things also:
I have moments I feel like I'll never find a cool dude who can appreciate Disney AND me. I've decided to remove myself from "pursuit mode" because it's not working!! LOL. Men need that pursuit, we don't. It's still frustrating, though. I refuse to do Bumble, Tinder, or POF, or any of that simply because I'm not DTF and I'm a Mom who wants to avoid the blahs of online dating. Not so sure I'm sold on eHarmony, either.
I learned real quick like that a lot of guys who work at Disney don't hang out on my side of the fence. LOL. Not ALL but a larger amount. The few I've met that could possibly be a match are, naturally, taken. Not to say meeting someone at Disney can't happen, I've just discovered it isn't quite as easy as I was hoping it was going to be. I've turned out to be quite the magnet for single Dads from the UK. LOL. Lovely, they live clear across the other side of the pond.
I was dating a man I met when I first moved here. Seemed so great and we ourselves as people were actually pretty compatible. It all seemed so easy! I tried to take him to Epcot for Food & Wine. He HATED IT. Like, I never met anyone that really HATED Disney. LOL. I remember being so bummed we didn't even make it past Rose & Crown before he wanted to leave. Later that weekend I mentioned something else about Disney (not about our Epcot trip, but something totally random) and he literally YELLED "UGH!! I HATE DISNEY!!!".
As bizarre as it may sound, it honestly felt like he slapped me and stabbed me in the heart at the same time. I felt WOUNDED!! It was a weird realization....to know someone you really thought you were compatible with hates one of the things you really love to do. He went maybe two more times after that with me and hated every minute of it. I guess he tried.
I'm not saying a couple has to have exact interests, either, but I admit I was so sad when I could tell he was miserable at Disney with me and I was so jealous of the couples who were clearly having a great time together.
I think life is just too short to settle. But....still no Prince or Beast on the horizon here....
