I like to Google “dating” subjects. There are all kinds of crazy reality TV shows cropping up (Conveyor Belt of Love, anyone??—Season premiere Jan 4th after the Bachelor on ABC! 30 guys on a moving conveyor belt and five women choose who they want. Oh, and they can swap them out if the next guy in line is hotter. Who got drunk and thought up this one?? I’m definitely watching.). Sorry, I’m getting off track.
My point is that when I’m doing my online research, I tend to come across information on what celeb is “surprisingly” dating another celeb. Like the whole Jessica Simpson/ Billy Corgan thing. (“Why would someone like her date him?” Or my personal favorite: “Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan? The end of times must be upon us!”) It seems like we as a culture are fascinated by the personal trials and tribulations of celebrities. I guess we figure if their lives suck and they’re famous, we have a lot to be happy about. Or something like that. Maybe we just like the gossip, and it’s about someone we all know. But seriously, it’s just gonna change in another week. They’ll break up, or deny, or move on. Do we really care to keep up? Yawn.
I’m more concerned with my own dating life. Am I making good choices? Is there a pattern I’m missing? Why am I meeting guys who don’t work out? I can’t really learn anything from watching celebrities date. They aren’t doing much right either.
I wish Google had answers for me, or could predict the future and assure me I’m doing things right, that it’s all about timing. Until then, I guess I’ll have to follow the Jessica Simpson story. At least she is dating, I guess.
