PULLING TEETH

I date...

A LOT.

I am still looking to fill that empty spot in the picture!

I have gotten good at asking questions, keeping the conversation flowing, getting rid of awkward silence. At times it feels like I am pulling teeth.

But I am getting SO tired of it. The same type conversations which usually end up with talking about our dating history somehow and how neither one wants to be hurt, blah blah blah.

Tonight I had a great time. It wasn't a date. Just a random meeting through a work dinner I had. At first I was impressed, then I was bored (he seemed dry and BORING, and I was PULLING TEETH for a little while there) but by the end of the night I couldn't get enough of the conversation.

We talked about ways in which we wanted to make BYU Idaho a better place. We added experiences from the mission and life that have helped shape our views. It was so refreshing. At one point I smiled all giddy just thinking about how great this conversation is and he stopped talking knowing my thoughts were headed somewhere other than his thousandth idea on how to change the world. Though I was a lot to take in with his excitement about all the things he wanted to do it was SO NICE!!!

Now, if you (the guy I was with tonight) is reading this. Don't get any ideas that like I am in love with you after one date. Just relieved to know that quality conversation still exist and that I don't always have to feel like I am pulling teeth!
