The Kat House

In past years, I spent a lot of time in the online dating scene. I just didn’t trust the guys hanging out in bars, and I couldn’t seem to find any other avenues for meeting nice, respectable men. Being the nerd I am, online dating was perfect. I was able to sit at my computer and chat with guys with no obligations whatsoever. If I didn’t feel comfortable with someone, no problem. I didn’t have to meet him!

I did end up meeting a number of guys in person, and a few relationships and lots of friendships resulted. But with the good times came the bad. I had my heart crushed not once, but twice. It has been difficult to trust anyone since.

My last serious relationship ended a year and a half ago. Since that time, I’ve had some dates, but nothing too impressive. And though I do miss having a special someone in my life, I must admit that this past year and a half has been more fulfilling than any of the years prior. I haven’t joined any dating site. I haven’t gone out looking to meet someone. I have just been myself, lived my life, and enjoyed the blessings that have come my way.

I received a prestigious HR certification last year, and I will be testing for another one this December 1st. Not having a boyfriend has allowed me to focus on this aspect of my career without romantic distraction. It has also allowed me to discover more about myself and what I hope to find in my next relationship. And most importantly, it has prepared me to trust again.

The receipt of my SPHR certification will signal a major turning point in my life. With my career goals met, I can then turn my attentions to my personal life. I will be bringing Find Tish a Boyfriend out of retirement, and I’ll use the blog to chronicle the search for my soul mate. If you recall, I accepted boyfriend applications from Tennessee and all its neighboring states the last time around. This time I plan to expand the search to a much broader area. I’ll even be accepting Manhattan resumes!

I’m in the home stretch, friends, so wish me well.
