Not Good Enough? Or Not "Bad" Enough?

January 3, 2009

I'm single, and get told often from friends that, "I can't think of any girl that's good enough for you." Or well, something a long the lines of that.

I don't drink, I don't smoke. I'm a straight A student. I'm a Christian. I'm genuine and appreciate simpleness. I'm very caring and try to help others when they're down. The list my friends and I can come up with goes on and on. "We need to find you a nice girl."

Maybe because I hangout with the wrong crowd; Looking in the wrong places. Meeting people at parties? Probably not the best place because everyone there is getting wasted. I'm not desperate, I'm not looking for a date. However, I can't help but notice the situation I'm in. More mature than the people I'm meeting? Sure that's a possibility.

Well I guess that's the way it goes. It seems like, I don't have enough faults in my character. "Dennis deserves someone better than me."

In a way, I do have to "look down" on others. There's this strange pedestal that I get put on for being who I am, and like a high jumper who made one record jump, I'm being told that I can keep on going higher and higher and being encouraged to do so. Well it's kind of lonely at the top. And all the decisions I make could be analyzed as "Oh he could do so much better." Well there's not much room for improvement when the bar is high and the scope is cramped.

I don't want to seem like I'm looking down, but I don't want to lower myself either. I'm rambling now, I hope in 2009, I'll meet lots of new people.
