Are you seeing anyone?

I know this is a common question that people ask as they're getting to know you or if they haven't seen you in a while.  It's a question that I've been guilty of asking myself on more than one occasion however lately this question has started to annoy me.  It really shouldn't annoy me as it is a logical conversation topic but it does.

Having to always respond that no, I'm not currently dating anyone or that there's nobody serious in my life dating wise or having to go into the adventures of mis-haps as I try the online dating world have left me dreading the inevitable turn towards this particular conversation.

I'd love to be able to say that yes, there's this amazing guy in my life who is sweeping me off my feet in his own special way.  I'm not asking for Mr. Perfect or Prince Charming...simply a nice, normal guy who doesn't blow me off when we make plans, who isn't out for "only one thing" at some random hour of the (very late) night or who doesn't call back once we've made plans or had a first date.

With all the rumors of "nice guys finishing last" I would think that there are a number of nice normal guys out there who might like to be chosen first!  Is that really so much to ask?

If what my friends have to say is accurate, I'm a nice, normal, self-sufficient, fun woman to spend time with.  I've traveled the world, have a great group of friends, and don't presume that I'd be the only thing in said guy's life.  As an independent woman in my own right, I wouldn't expect the guy to have to make me the only thing in his life and would anticipate that we be able to spend time together as well as apart while still being a couple.

So am I seeing someone?  Nope...there have been a couple of guys lately with potential but that's another post for another time.
