JACK BE LIMBO, JACK BE QUICK!


I have a date tonight. It’s a MATCH date, so I admit my expectations are pretty low. Really low. Given all of the bad dates I’ve been on lately, dating feels almost like a chore, isn’t that sad? But can you blame me? There was the bowling strike-out (described below), the Stutter-er-er, the Energizer Bunny, the Lazy Eye, the Cheapskate, the Aggressive Grabber, and then the guy who took me to a very trendy, posh restaurant where he knew the whole staff. The service was great. Food, excellent. But I felt like I was on display more than the eccentric pairings of the renowned chef. A-W-K-W-A-R-D…..
But now I am all confused. Low expectations? It’s hard to get excited when the expectations are low. I prefer to have HIGH expectations of people, situations, etc. I keep my standards high-( some may say too high and it’s why I am still single- thank you mother) I’d rather like to keep them there though. But given my current circumstances, I’ve entered the world of lower expectations. Now what? Does that also mean lowering the bar? Is that what it’s gonna take? Ok then. So where exactly is that bar supposed to be placed? In fact, what the heck am I using this bar for? Is this the high jump, or the limbo? Somebody help!
