First, I'd like to thank May from MayStarDesigns for helping me in the whole Blog Confusion ordeal.

¿MyStiFieD? Weekend Summary:

Friday: Mina's Birthday
Saturday: Jenny Ly's Birthday
Sunday: Rested. What? Even God rested on sunday.

Damn. It would be so easy to leave the summary like this and just go to sleep.

But I wouldn't want to disappoint my adoring fans (all 9.8 of you).

At Mina's birthday party it was simple. Drink a little, talk alot, see how much some people have changed, see how much some people never change. Have fun, that's what being with friends from back home is all about. They know you intimately, and you know them. You can talk about shit from five years ago like it happened yesterday. Throw in a little Kareoke (Noh Reh Bang) fun and sing like a high pitched girl for fun. *best Avril Lavigne impression* WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND MAKE THINGS SO COMPLICATED. YOU SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING, GETS ME FRUSTRATED.

Ahem. Then, on Saturday, go to Jenny Ly's bday party. Find out about it 2 hours before the start time by hearing it indirectly from another friend who brought it up in casual conversation. Go to party. See alot of guys. See a little bit of girls. Wonder why all the girls are so pretty, and then realize that by "pretty" you mean they're "pretty" much all taken already. Sigh in defeat. Risk SARS in chinatown. Eat 21 dollars worth of food even though five bucks worth of food at mcdonalds would have filled you up more.

So Happy Birthday to Mina and Jenny.

Mina, I dunno if we were ever super close or not, even though there was this one time you got really really mad at me for saying I wasn't, so in order to avoid that again, yes. yes we are. You are a fun chill kind of girl that I wouldn't mind telling everyone i'm friends with anyway. I hope rutgers is treating you well, and I hope you grow tall enough so that I can find you in a crowd of people. Happy Birthday!

Jenny, we haven't been friends that long, but I would like to think that we became really close in a short amount of time. On the occasions that we actually get to hang out, you've always taken care of me. There's a bunch of things that I could name off the top of my head, but I'll spare myself the writing. Just know that you are one of my favorite girls of all time. If you ever want me to take a bullet for you, just ask. As long as it's below the waist, and doesn't paralyze me or cause some other sort of permanent damage. Happy Birthday!

I wish I brought my camera to both parties. It would have saved me so much typing right now.

Blogger was down yesterday, so this post is actually wednesday's and thursdays. Don't like the new blogger either, but I guess I don't have a choice.

Was a little depressed after finding out I didn't get the NC job, so tuesday was actually filled with alot of nothing. Oh, and alot of classes.

Wednesday was just alot of nothing. Paul Pak came up to philly to run some errands, so I went to lunch with him. Then some more nothing.

Thursday (today) was all class again. And alot of nothing. Well, I guess film class is worth talking about. Very small class, nice cute female professor, and some cute girls in the class too. Everyone seems really into it and fun. Should be an interesting ten weeks.

What filled the nothing void? Alot of Diablo 2. God, I hate being re-re-readdicted to a game (yes, it's like my fourth time being addicted to the game).

Realized a couple things today. There are alot of people that I haven't talked to in a LONG time. Not because I don't love them or anything, it's just that through circumstances, either mine or theirs, we haven't kept in touch. So please, IM me. I'm always on aim. I'd love to strike up a conversation with some of you and catch up.

Something I also haven't said in a while, mostly since I've been focusing on the whole Virtually Infamous theme: my adoring fans (all 9.2 of you).

There, I feel better already.

So, i'm not going to North Carolina. I have zero things to look forward to now.

Man, this co-op round was crap. I should have known it was going to bomb horribly.

Six interview replies, interviews during finals, two companies didn't even have the decency to call me back. Four interviews left. Buy a suit. Go to interviews. Should have learned my lesson by now. Everytime I actually put effort into something, it comes out negatively.

I don't understand though, I thought my interviews went well. My resume is pretty good, or else I wouldn't have been chosen in the first place. Am I just a bad interview? I don't think so. I guess i'm just not good at selling myself.

I don't know. I just know I do not wish to settle with the options that were presented for me. There's gotta be something better to do. I'd rather go back to PJM then go forward into something that I consider to be a step backward.

Throw me a freakin bone.

Mr Paul Pak has expressed to me a real passion and desire to go to Korea for a nice long 9 month co-op. I hope he gets his chance. Everyone just cross your fingers and keep him in your mind and heart (and prayers, for you religious types) in the next few weeks and give this mofo a lucky break for once.

He deserves it.

¿MyStifieD? Weekend Summary:

Friday: Was in Jersey. Fixed my exhaust leak. Meineke is the worse company ever. They effed up my exhaust so bad. You might say that maybe it was the only thing they could do. Well, if that was the case, they NEVER mentioned that they had to use unorthodox means to attach my exhaust, including: bending my piping, stripping my bolts, not putting on a gasket, and other small things that just piss me off.

Watched Hulk, then watched it get smashed. Ang Lee, you're a good director, and i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on Hulk. Maybe you had a bad script to work with? Maybe you were trying too hard? I dunno. Saw some of Tony and Terry's rutger friends. They were pretty cute.

Also saw Pohdoh, one of hanna's friends, and I was impressed. She's going to some awesome art school in Manhattan. Good luck to her. Hope she has lots of fun.

Saturday: Did some more car stuff. Ackor Racing had a car meet so I participated. It's in serious need of a name change.

Sunday: Lunch with my mom. Got stuck in traffic on the way back to philly. Found Nemo. Got re-addicted to Diablo 2. And here I am now!

Hulk, Girls, Cars, cute fish and video games. What else could you ask for?

I'm home in jersey right now, which is why I haven't really updated the blog. 56k Modem is a horrible experience.

Anyway, great adventure on thursday was fun. I'm not going to go through the rides or anything, since most people who read my blog already know about all the rollercoasters. But for those of you who don't, i'm sure you've been to a theme park before. It's the same thing.

So i'm in Great Adventure and we're all lookin at the girls and commenting on how they're all young teeny boppers. Well, these three girls roll up in the refreshment area we were at and immediately Tron is checking them out. Other people start telling him not to because they're too young, but I looked, and I figured they were around 18. Other's disagreed. We speculated for a little, and finally someone is like, Allen, you should go ask. So i shrug and walk over:

Me: "Hi, i'm not hitting on you guys or anything, but we were sitting around guessing girl's ages and we really can't decide how old you are."
One girl: "How old do you think we are?"
Me: "I dunno, i'm guessing around 16-18?"
girl: *Look of utter insult on girl's face*
Me: "um... how old are you then?"
girl: "22" *walks away from me*
Me: "wow... and you?" *looking at other girl*
other girl: "20." *Walks away*
Me: "Ok.. well.. thanks." *walks away in complete shock*

So yea, i was really embarrassed that I went and insulted these fine looking girls that Tron would have loved hitting on. I generally feel bad for insulting complete strangers. I hate making bad first impressions.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the weekend update. Plenty of stuff went down.

No more guessing girl's ages ever. Everyone who asks me, i will just say they look between 18-21

I really don't know what to expect. I mean, I have high expectations for my interviews, but I have learned from past experiences that my high expectations are usually answered with a good solid NO, from whatever force is out there to make that decision, be it God, Allah, Fate, Destiny, or just Luck. Like during my last co-op, I had no expectations. I just picked a job, got it, went to it, and it turned out to be a great experience. But then, like my grades last year, I expected to do rather well, but I ended up bombing a class. Caught me completely off guard. This year, I didn't expect anything for my grades and I was thoroughly surprised in a good way.

Now co-op interviews are over. I want to show excitement. I want to project my own future and tell everyone about what I *may* be doing. But for some reason, I think if i do that, i'll receive that good solid NO. That's something that I've learned to expect from having expectations.

We won't go into a whole philosophical debate on how if I expect to receive the solid NO, then i'll receive a solid NO for the solid NO that I respected. Yea, too much to think about right? My thoughts exactly.

So to all the people I interviewed, especially one job in particular. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider me for a position. I really enjoyed all the job interviews this time around. There's just one that stands out in particular. I hope for all sake of hoping that I'll get it.

No great ending line. Only cuz you expect it.

I hate these things, but I was bored, and this one seemed to ask questions that were actually pretty decent. Still think these are originally created by losers with no lives who are trying to get to know some girl (or guy, if they swing that way). So, now I guess you can get to know mine.

No weekend update. I'm still a little depressed from seeing everyone elses version.

Had my other interview with GlaxoSmithKline today. The lady who interviewed me was probably the coolest person whoever interviewed me. We kept getting off subject and just talking about drexel and the co-op experience, etc. It was really fun. I hope they really do consider me for a position in North Carolina though. I really would be honored to work for such a great company with fun people.

I'm going in for another interview Wednesday. Hopefully I'll be able to convince them that I'd die for a position in NC. Please please please, let it be me.

We spent all of today cleaning the house. We're still at it. Basically we scrubbed down all the walls, mopped all the floors, threw out all the crap that's just been building up for the last year or so of living in this place. The house looks better then when we first got it.

Well, that's it for now. My mind is kinda drained from thinking about interviews, and my body is definately begging for me to just sit back and relax.

Life is funny. Today is Matt's birthday (So happy birfday matt!). And well, it was someone else's bday (so happy birthday someone else!). Anyway, i digress. There's was/is a party at Das House right now. I come home from the other birthday to Matt's birthday to find the house swarming with people. And matt is engaged in an intellectual conversation about artificial intelligence and human evolution. Well, Matt was vigorously defending that artificial intelligence can never be considered human evolution, but I digress again.

Basically, the party is goin down, and these four random guys just roll up and ask if they can come in and chill. James takes the situation and invited them in. We watch them for a while, and they turn out to be pretty cool. They aren't causing any trouble and the one guy actually freestyles, so Matt had a grand time spittin with him. Life is funny like that. Random people from the streets one day, and who knows, maybe we'll see them around alot from now on.

Went to alot of friend's blogs this past week, cuz you know, bored with nothing else to do at 5 am. I noticed alot of people are doing weekend summaries.

Ok, I know that ¿MyStiFieD? Weekend summaries aren't the the most unique thing in the world, so I can't accuse anyone of intellectual copyright infringment, but I can't help but be suspicious/smug that people have adopted my writing style.

Before i started doing it, it seems most people were writing their summaries in a paragraph summary:

Friday, I did a bunch of crap, then saturday I did a bunch of crap, then sunday I did a bunch of crap.

Now everyone seems to have the weekend summary style:

Friday: Found out these people write like me.

Saturday: Wonder why that is so?

Sunday: Being big headed or maybe i'm really influencing people?

I guess the best way to check would be to go back to the first time I ever wrote a ¿MyStiFieD? Weekend Summary and cross triangulate the dates in which other people started using the same format (Yes, i made up cross triangulate). That would be the best way.

Knowing me though, some person will come up with a date earlier then mine which used that format, thereby discrediting me of all influences that I may have achieved. So, forget it, I rather not know. It's not a big deal, i'm not mentioning this because I don't want people to copy me. It's just that it feels good to know that I may be affecting people's lives.

And that's all I want really.

Am I the only one who still enjoys playing board games in person? With the age of computers and internet, everything is online now. Even pictionary and scrabble. First it was just card games, but now, it's evolved into everything.

I mean, I already know people who would rather talk online then talk on the phone or meet up to chill. That's sad in itself, but now, people don't have to do anything in person. Wanna talk? Hit up aim, wanna get to know someone? read their blog. Want to socialize and play games with them? Hit up a fucking games site. What the bullshit man.

Stop hiding behind the dim light of a computer screen. Go out and get some sun. Sure, read my blog, cuz you love me, but finish, shut down your computer and go play. IT'S FUCKING SUMMER.

You know sunlight is suppose to be healthy for you right? It creates vitamin D and other shit your body needs. That's right, plants aren't the only things that need constant sunlight to live. We need it too. The sun is precious to our bodies. So sitting on your lazy ass playing internet games and chatting with your friends probably isn't a good idea.

Now i'm going to shut up, take my own advice, and go fly a fuckin kite.

I came to the conclusion that 21 is not so great of an age for my situation. Let me explain.

Drinking. I do that already. Nothing so great.

Going to bars. Never really thought it was a big deal to go to 21 and up places. Yea, they're pretty cool, but the thing is, most of my closer friends aren't 21 yet. So at this rate, I wont' really be goin to those places until i'm 22 (Like Dave and Busters). Plus, there's alot of places that you can get into without being 21.

Renting cars. This is probably the best part about being 21. But I haven't done it yet, and by the looks of things, most rental cars are crappy cars anyway.

Dating. This is the worse of them. When I was 20, the dating range in my mind was a little wider. I figure 17-22 was good. Sure, 17 is on the edge of being illegal, but nobody said I had to have sex with them. At least, 17 and 20, the age difference was reasonable. Now that I'm 21, looks like the range turned into 19-22. 23 would be out of college, and i'm not ready for that kind of steady relationship, plus i figure 23 year old will be looking for older guys to settle down with. Can't date 17 year olds anymore, that's definately WAY illegal now. And 18 year olds? Well, freshman at college. Don't really want to date a girl who is still exploring her newfound freedom. Plus, it's the difference between being able to buy cigs, and being able to take a girl into the casinos.

So yea, 21 isn't turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. I'm kinda depressed.

Hopefully 22 and up will be better... can't say yet, cuz i'm not going to think about it. I'm already suffering from the realization that i'm not a child anymore.

And that, my friends, sucks.

Addendum: My bestest twin in the world gave me the bestest birthday present ever (next to her bestest xmas present ever, but that's another story).

Self explanatory:

Alright, so i'm not a genius by Mensa Standards:



I'm taking this with a grain of salt though (Yes, i'm defensive). I consider this test to be a give-or-take situation until I can sit down with real mensa people and take the test. See, there was a couple questions that I clicked on right when it was changing. I'm not sure if I would have gotten them right or wrong, but as you can see, that would be the difference between 127 and 131 (130 is Mensa material), since the questions were worth two points each.

I'm happy that I did so well though. It was definately a stressful situation. It made me feel like I don't deserve to be a genius (so maybe the score is really accurate in that standard). testonfox.com if anyone else wants to try their luck.

Second picture:



Give me two pairs, I want two pairs. Cuz i'm stompin in my Air Force Ones.

¿MyStiFieD? Weekend Summary.

Well, ok, first off, Virtually Infamous Forums are now online! It's still in it's beta stages, but please, feel free to post, especially in the Feedback forum. I'm sure there are times I wrote something, and all you wanted to do was tell me how funny or gay it was. Well, now you can, and yes, anonymously too.

So Friday: No class, but had interview with Airgas. Seems like a pretty cool company, except I don't think it involves alot of actual webpage programming. Talked to the other co-op, and the job seems way too easy for me. (no offense if you ever read this).

Saturday: Didn't get to sleep in because I went to go see an apartment, but as soon as I got there, they said the place was taken by someone earlier. So I freakin woke up at 11 am (BEFORE NOON), on a weekend, to have someone say "SYKE!" to me? Eff that. Let me tell you, I turned around and walked out of their before she even finished talking.

Sunday: In all my joy, I slept in. Went to eat one last time at Drexel's cafe with the last of Paul's money. It's been a fun year with my adopt-a-freshman. Can't say I didn't take advantage of them, but at least they can't say I didn't treat them well. They better not. Or else.

My communications teacher Professor Kelley said it the best. When he used to hire people, he said he never cared about GPA. He would actually prefer someone with a lower GPA who had a resume filled with other activities then a boring resume with just a high GPA. His reasoning? Anyone can pick up a book and study, but it's those people who go out and support their school or learn a skill that can't be learned in class are the people that can be seen taking the extra initiative in the future. They're the ones getting real world experience instead of staying huddle up in their room, studying the night away and never going out to experience life. So what good does that do you? Sure, you now become a master of doing things by the book. Sucks though, cuz things never happen by the book.

So let me just say it once again: I'm sick of all you book-smart stuck-up self-named intellectuals who cannot do anything but regurgitate information that they read from a book. Big whoop, you got a 4.0 GPA. So let's see, I study all of zero hours to pull an average of 3.0. I can only wonder how much hours of study are needed to get a 4.0. Doesn't matter. It can be any number X. No matter what, i'm going to say that's X hours too many. Equate that.

Now, with all my free time, I can say that I've learned to repair and maintain every aspect of a car, from changing oil to rebuidling engines. Big deal you say? Yea? Considering car repair is one of the most reliable industries in the US today, I wouldn't say it's something to brush off. So some 4.0 brat might end up making more money then me (again, that's a stretch, since I believe what my comm professor was talkin about), but then, she'll end up paying up to 3000 bucks a year repairing and maintaining her car. Me? I'll be the one she's paying it to, and that's just the kind of money I might make on a given weekend on top of my real job and real salary. The benefits of taking up a hobby.

That's just one of the many things that I do instead of wasting hours and hours for 4 extra points to pull an A. If I get an A, I want to get it because I am smart enough to comprehend it, not because I read the whole book, and memorized every possible aspect the book told me to.

Whatever, I don't even know why I choose to be this defensive. The booksmart people will continue to covenant the worthless A, while the truly intelligent will learn through life, always remembering that it takes more then an education to succeed.

I'm not movie critic, and definately not one to base my opinions and predictions of movies on fact. Basically, i just watch the trailer, think about it, then give it a thumbs up or thumbs down.

In the case of Finding Nemo, I warily gave it a thumbs down. I'm not going to say I was wrong for standing that way. Box Office totals for opening weekend were about 70 million. That's a nice chunk of change. It's hard to argue against that.

But, of course, I will explain why I stand by my decision:

We'll say that today's 70 million is equal to Monster INC's 64 million dollar opening weekend. I'm sure you can agree that movie tickets have risen at least a little since that time. So basically, everyone who saw Monster's inc came back and saw Finding Nemo.

Which leads me to my second point. Finding Nemo is riding on the glory that is Pixar. It doesn't make it a great movie. Look at how well the Matrix 2 did, even though most people agree the story was lacking. The story line for Finding Nemo seems pretty cookie cutter standard. Take a little mermaid, throw in a little all american tale, give it the pixar style flavor, put it all in a blender and shake it up.

Also, there isn't much competition for Finding Nemo. It's pretty much the only family movie that's worth going to see (i'll give it that much). It should thrive rather well. We shall see the box office numbers for week 2, with movies like 2 Fast 2 Frivolous coming out. It won't steal away Finding Nemo's target audience, but there are alot of young adult females (and effeminate men) who will now have to make a choice on which movie to watch. If it does well this following weekend, then we'll at least know the movie has received positive feedback, though i have yet to hear anyone I know watch it yet.

So overall, I stand by what I said, though knowing me, I'll end up going to watch Finding Nemo. If not in the theatres, then i'm sure i'll be so lucky as to find everyone I know owning it on DVD.

But just try to keep me away from 2 Fast 2 Frivolous tomorrow.

Didn't post last night. Too freakin tired and stressed out. I had my daily wednesday group game, while doing homework that was due at eleven, and then a six page paper that was due in the morning, but on top of that, I had an interview in the morning. So you see my situation, I couldn't pull an all nighter, and I couldn't sleep. Yea, it was weird, but I pulled through. Cuz i'm the bestest..est.

I swear, someday I will write a book on Hanna. She deserves one. There's just something about her pure gullibleness and dumbness that would make the story really amusing, but at the same time, she's a loveable character that you just can't get annoyed at. Well, sometimes.

I suck at Pump it Up. I think I'm going to stay away from dance games.

I also look damn good in a suit. I'll be posting pictures soon. Dunno when, maybe tomorrow, but definately gonna have some pictures.

So I walk into Men's Wearhouse and walk out 415 dollars poorer, but with the nicest suit being a cheapskate could buy. 415 dollars cheap? Well, when compared to the 600+ suits they had, walkin out with a suit, a couple of dress shirts, ties, shoes and a belt for 415 is pretty damn cheap. That's right, i'll just keep sayin it out loud and maybe it won't hurt so much.

But I love men's wearhouse now. Anytime where someone dresses you and you only have to say if you like it or not is a good time. My salesperson was cool too. He was my age, so his sense of style was within my standards. He also knew exactly what I would like. We were talking about my job interviews, and in the rarest of luck, he said he'd pull some strings with friends at a certain company that i'd like to work for.

So $415 bucks for a million dollar suit, and the opportunity to work where I want? Sounds like the bargain of a lifetime to me.

Next subject: Food for thought.

Did you know strawberries are part of the rose family? No wonder girls love strawberries.

Did you know ice cream was most likely invented by the chinese in 2000 bc? That's right. Gunpowder, pasta and now icecream. Where would western civilization be without the Chinese?

It's still raining. I hate rain.

Well, blogger.com works quick.

It's only been about two weeks since I stopped uploading to mystified.blogspot.com and they already gave the URL to someone else.

That's fine, the problem lies in the fact that I have job interviews, and that old URL is STILL on my resume. Just went to an interview today and the interviewer went to "my" webpage, only to find the email link was "egoistic_ass@ijustdontcare.com" so he asked me about it.

My first reaction was "It is?"
My second reaction in my head was "Hmm, sounds like something I did, but I don't remember"
My third reaction after that thought was "Oh, it was probably something I did two years ago as a joke, but forgot all about it."

Boggled, confused and (of course) ¿MyStiFieD?, I wandered home and visited my old page to see what exactly I did and well, found out it wasn't even me.

So stupid malaysian girl who decided to take over mystified.blogspot.com: You couldn't wait three more weeks to make a fool out of me?

Correction to yesterday's blog. Brian is not gay. Brian saw Kevin Smith first. Brian also threatened to kill me if I didn't write this.

Aerundel: and why'd you make me look like the homo when YOU were jumping up and down for Kevin Smith? huh? huh?
Aerundel: you didn't even know he was there...
Aerundel: punk
Aerundel: I pointed him out to you
Aerundel: anyway, so in conclusion, screw your slanter
Aerundel: man, first time you put my pic up on your site, and you make fun of me
Aerundel: that's f-ed up
Aerundel: and the pic being there in conjunction with the less-than-complete story is probably adding to my annoyance
Aerundel: You're going to die next time I come up to philly.

So back off man. I changed it. I don't want to die.

Random blurb: So today, I was talking with Hanna about sending her IM's about shampoo and conditioners made for blind people. I told her that it was so funny i started IMing it to everyone and also sent it to Antarctica so the researchers there could get a laugh... and she believed me. Then, she almost believed that it takes trained penguins with waterproof backpacks and scuba gear to deliver it to them too. Ok, maybe i'm exaggerating a little about her believing me, but for at least a split second she did. Paul was there, he can vouch for me.

Anyway, first job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck.

It's been a long weekend of sleeping at 8 pm and waking up at 4 am. I mean jeez, if I'm awake at 4 am whether it be from sleeping late or sleeping early, am I still nocturnal?

Anyway, ¿MyStiFieD? Weekend Summary:

Friday: I don't remember. Oh yea, Brian came up. We basically both went to sleep before midnight. Ok, I went to sleep a little later. But we had to wake up at 8 am to make sure we made it to the Kevin Smith thing at the Comic Convention.

Saturday: Went to WizardCon, comic convention. Didn't care about comics at all. Just wanted to see Kevin Smith. If by the way you don't know who Kevin Smith is, he's the dude who made Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and will be releasing Jersey Girl with Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck sometime February of next year. He wrote/directed all those movie, and plays Silent Bob (which just happened to be in all those movies too).

So we're waiting in line to get an autograph from Dante from Clerk's, and all of a sudden Mr Smith himself just pops out of nowhere. So we're 5 feet away from him, I take a step to get his attention, and the next thing I know, 20 people are swarming him. I wanted to swarm too, but I didn't want to lose my place in line. Brian has this thing for the Clerk's guy, he even bought a Dante Doll to play with.

So finally, he breaks free of the crowd, and walks by me. So i tap him on the arm and ask if he could take a picture with me and Brian. I'll never forget his words: "Yea, hurry up." I swear, if it were any other celebrity, I would have been like, EW, how rude. But Mr Smith can say whatever he wants to me.


I swear, I think the camera added 50 pounds to my face. Either that, or I gained 50 pounds and nobody had the balls to tell me.

Sunday: Didn't do shit. Found this article about how stupid women are (read below).

No seriously, am I getting fat? *big sad face*

It seems like knowing what I know about girls, I could never sum it up. Or, knowing me, I put it in such a way where people just turn off what i'm saying. So for example, it's like me saying, "Man, that bitch is stupid! She don't know what she wants." Then i begin to explain why, but by then, they've tuned me out. What? At least I admit it.

Well, I found this article today on MSN. It pretty much sums up what i've been thinkin all along, but of course, way better then I could ever say it:

The Top 12 Ways Women Sabotage Finding Love Again
By John Gray, Ph.D.

So it's time to start dating again ... or is it? You think dating again is what you "should be" doing, but perhaps you're just not ready. Here is a list of the top 12 things women could do to potentially sabotage the starting over process.

1. Carrying too big a list. While it's important to make sure that a potential partner shares important values, when a woman becomes overly protective of her heart, she may also become overly judgmental of a man. If she has not taken the time to heal her past, her checklist will disqualify her suitors.

2. Associating dating with sex. Because she worries that she will be pressured into intimate relations, a woman is likely to avoid the situation completely. The wisdom is, "Date around, don't sleep around." Avoid the fear of getting hurt by saying "no" to sex, but not to dating.

3. Glorifying the past. The tendency to compare each new opportunity often keeps a woman from moving forward.

4. Staying stuck in grief. Holding on to her pain will keep her both safe and alone.

5. Not giving ourselves permission to love again. The awful feeling that we are betraying our partner, especially if they have passed away, is one way that women close themselves off. She must recognize that letting go of her pain does not mean she has stopped loving him, but rather that she is able to feel the love.

6. Sleeping around. Sometimes when women are starting over after painful loss, they're trying to repair low self-esteem caused by rejection from previous lack of affection.

7. Expecting immediate passion. If she is expecting the earth to shake right away, and it doesn't, she may be turned off. In fact, the red flag should wave when she does feel intense attraction right away. She's responding to her idea of what his guy is like, not the reality.

8. Maintaining unrealistic expectations or over-romanticizing. Between movies and romance novels, a woman may have the idea that a "real man" will come along if she waits.

9. Attracting the wrong type. Because she is holding on to unresolved hurt from past relationships, she attracts people that repeat the pattern.

10. Focusing on the negative. By remaining stuck in negative feelings about the potential hurt of past relationships, a woman convinces herself not to bother trying.

11. Becoming overly self-sufficient. When she disconnects from her needs, and sends out the message that she doesn't need help, she is sabotaging her ability to attract a man into her life. Having needs is not the same as being needy.

12. Taking on too much, losing herself in taking care of others, and putting the needs of her family before her own. These are all additional ways women close off availability.

The most important thing a woman can do is simply to begin dating. Just get out there! It's time for you now. Move forward with careful thought and understanding about what you need. Realize that the mistakes and losses of the past are actually badges of wisdom to carry into your new life.
