Anyone who knows, me knows that I have a Netflix binge addiction. Currently I am rewatching the best years of Grey's Anatomy. That's when I came across the episode where Teddy becomes overly attached to Andrew who is leaving and starts avoiding him because she doesn't want to say goodbye. While I wasn't a huge fan of Teddy she does have one of my favorite lines in the series "I'm not G.I Jane, I'm attachment-Barbie." At some point every girl tries to be that strong self reliant girl, who doesn't need a man for anything other than sex (G.I Jane) but then come to realize that they are in fact attached and have developed much more of a relationship with them than they thought (attachment-Barbie).
I started my online dating crusade months ago in order to find this elusive relationship that I desperately thought I wanted to be in. I wanted to find the perfect guy, that complemented my twisted sarcasm, understood when I wanted my space, and to have amazing sex. It turns out that's my version of Attachment- Barbie. But on the quest I've seemed to have deviated from the intended course. Instead its about 3 months later and I've reverted back to G.I Jane... the girl who no matter how hard she tries can't seem to find the guy that she wants to be attached to. While yes Mr. Cocky was a fun detour on the road to Mr. Perfect.. we didn't have a whole heck of alot in common besides the fact that we had a lot of sex. We tried too hard to make conversations, I pretended to like things that I didn't and made jokes he didn't understand. There wasn't the same level of investment in the relationship: let's say I had little to no investment and well he was attachment-Barbie. That's when you know its time to cut him loose, and start the quest again. So here's to another week of perverts, weirdos, and oddballs...
