Fear of The Unknown

Whilst washing dishes this fine morning, my mother and I engaged in a rather amusing and somewhat fascinating conversation. It started with me pining about why the most eligible females in my life happen to be straight. Her response then lead to her prompting me to find an older figure in my life, such as a mentor, to guide me. Almost instinctively, I said “Well, that depends…would that older figure guide me to my next hot girlfriend??”

At that, she laughed and said “I highly doubt that will happen!” then jokingly added “You’ll get with a monster boyfriend!” (Geez, thanks mom! :P)

Problem with that, however, is that I wouldn’t date a monster, nor a boy, so double jeopardy still leaves me submerging myself in the beauties of being single, which in all honesty, beats being thrust into polarity of two discrepant figures…
