Mission: Finding a Man

Prologue

I have been told I'm sexy, beautiful, everything a man could want. Yet I'm still alone. I've tried the blind date thing and let me tell you it's never a good thing. I even did the bar scene, but all I met there were drunks looking for a sugar mama.

Where can a good woman find an honest man at? So, this is my story. My mission to find a man. How I fail and succeed. My dating nightmares. Dating is scary, and it can make you wonder why you even try.

You have to kiss a lot of toads just to find one prince. I wanted to find "The one", but I didn't think my journey would be so difficult. So, I had to come up with Mission: finding a man. So, join me for some laughs, some tears, and finally my happy ever after.

We all have been there, we all have our own dating does and don'ts. I am sure I am not alone in all of this but some days it sure feels like it. I can't be the only single woman out here in the world trying to find love in all the wrong places. Can I?

Chapter 1

I was really nervous because I had a blind date tonight. My coworker said this guy was perfect for me. I hated blind dates, but maybe this one would work out for me. I was tired of being alone so I'm willing to try anything.

It shouldn't be this hard-to-find s decent guy that wants a long-term relationship. Unfortunately, I find all the jerks that only want one night of fun. I hated blind dates because you never know what to expect. You know nothing about the person. You have this over whelming fear of being rejected.

I'm fragile as is. I don't think I could handle being rejected. I spent hours getting ready. I had to admit I looked pretty hot. Now here I was at the restaurant nervously waiting for my date.

I needed a drink, but I didn't want my date to think I was an alcoholic. I felt like I had been sitting here forever, but maybe I was just early. Or did I get the time wrong? The waiter kept asking if I was ready to order, but I told him I was waiting for someone.

I felt so weird sitting here waiting for a man I didn't even know. I kept thinking everyone was looking at me. The waiter brought me out some bread.

"Oh, I didn't order this."

"It's on the house thought you could eat something while you wait."

"Oh, thank you. I guess my date must be running late."

He smiled and went to the table that was trying to get his attention. I knew I couldn't sit here all night because the place was filling up, and I was just taking up space.

I ordered a drink then got my check. I paid for it then left. I felt beyond sad. I mean why stand me up. I called my co-worker to see if she knew what was going on. She told me she hated to tell me, but my date took one look at me and left.

He said he couldn't even force himself to come and introduce himself. What kind of guy does that? I mean I am far from ugly. He didn't even give me a chance. Who did he think he was?

He couldn't have been hot because hello why would he need a blind date then? Some people just weren't born with a heart. I hurried home and got in my comfy pajamas. I curled up into my bed all alone just like I do every night. It was his loss not mine.

Yet here I was crying over a guy I didn't even know. I hated dating. Why can't I just find love already? I want my fairy tale. But the more things like this happen the more I think I'll never find it.

Chapter 2

I dreaded getting out of bed the next morning. My eyes were all puffy from crying all night. I was now in the angry stage. I mean who the hell does this guy think he is? Am I perfect? No far from it, but I don't deserve how he treated me.

I will never go on a blind date again. That just ruined what little self-esteem I had left. I didn't even want to go in to work. I was afraid my co-worker would tell everyone what had happened. I don't know how I am going to live this one down.

I mean he couldn't even come in once he saw me. Was I really that ugly? I work out and keep in shape. I'm not too tall at 5'6. I have long dark hair and green eyes with caramel skin.

Maybe he was racist. I just don't get what else the reason could be. Maybe he was just a jerk. I needed to forget about him. Just because he didn't want me doesn't mean someone else won't.

I spent extra time making myself look good for work. I walked in with my head held high. I wasn't going to allow some jerk I didn't even know bring me down. My co-worker that set up the date came up to me.

"Asia I am so sorry about what happened. I didn't know he was a jerk like that. I feel so bad."

"It's not your fault. Honestly I am glad he ditched out because I don't have time for a jerk like that in my life."

"Good for you. I have a friend of mine."

I didn't even let her finish. No way was I going there again. This time I would find a man on my own. I mean really how hard could it be?
