Sooooo NOT smooth

I had the awesome privilege to go to the dentist today and let him drill away at my pearly whites. Since it was going to be quite the dental work the nurse let me watch Hitch on the flat screen TV mounted to the ceiling. Laughing gas on my nose, Novocain working at my gums, it was the best time I've watched Hitch.

I laughed many times between drooling all over myself and trying not to gag on the insane amount of gauze being stuck down my throat. I also learned many things about myself ... one of those being the fact that I am sooooo NOT smooth when it comes to guys.

Shocking I know, but very very true. When it comes to hooking my friends up and dishing out love counseling for them ... I am in the zone! But then when it comes to my own personal "love" life ... I fall hard. 

I get all nervous and indecisive. I either don't know what to say or I say too much, oh sooooo much! I don't really think before I speak; I would self-diagnose that I have word vomit. Maybe I ask too many questions to get to know the other person. Maybe I try to read into their lives too soon. 

But my greatest flaw when it comes to dating? 

I put 100% into it. It's true. I'm not one of those girls who just likes to ride the ride. If and when I'm interested and so is he, I will give it my all. I will go the extra 10,000 miles to make sure it's the best relationship and see that he's happy. If that means making his favorite dinner, driving to California to see his band play, or just hanging out on the couch all weekend with his favorite snacks. I'm in it to win it. The same goes for my friendships. I put my all into helping other people feel good. I suppose that's why I've been burned a few times ... but that doesn't stop me from smiling and keep on running with it. 

As Alex Hitchens said, " Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away." That's what I try to achieve, and if "he" even just wants to see what could come of "us" I put forth my best ... why? Because I'm a Nickell and we do NOTHING less.  

So with all my dating faux pas' I try to think like Alex Hitchens, "Basic principles... there are none." And go with it. 

P.S. One of my favorite drinks Arizona Watermelon Juice is only 68 cents at WinCo! Love my
