Daily Dating Tip: Choice = Choice
Over the weekend I had an experience at a restaurant that reminded me about how important and consequential it is to “pick choice.”
And that Choice = Choice, which results in being responsible for life decisions and the course of action you take — interesting if you really think about it choice is always present when dating and who you are picking to get to know and spend time with.
You have choice!
And with that choice it’s going to equal another choice.
(If I sleep with him or her on the first date is it a deal breaker and what if your ten minutes into the date, is it OK to leave when realize that you have absolutely zero interest in the person? Etc.)
Long story short, I sat down at a sushi bar for Happy Hour at a local spot in Santa Monica that I’ve never been to, however it had been enthusiastically recommended to me by someone that I trust.
When I sat down the woman behind the bar was clearly having a bad day.
Regardless, I ordered a glass of wine and sushi as I ordered I mentioned to her how stunning the sunset was — she was completely uninterested and actually rather rude!
Still feeling high from the incredible sunset I decided that I had no desire to sit there and eat with her bad energy. (Hey, wait she was making me feel like I was on a bad date!)
Anyway, I canceled my order, payed for the wine and picked myself up and go to another restaurant to eat. (There is NO shortage of eating establishments down by the 3rd Street Promenade.)
After I canceled my order she asked me why, and I nicely mentioned that I was not into her “bad energy.”
She then proceeded to tell me that the had the “stomach flu.” (Nice, serving me raw fish while she is sick.)
I thanked her for her honesty, wished her well, payed my bill and left a two dollar tip for the glass of wine that I didn’t finish.
It’s about choice! Everything about that situation was wrong — including me potentially getting sick — I’m getting on a plane this Thursday to go to Vietnam and Cambodia.
I could ramble on here for awhile but what I saying here is that if we are lucky enough to have choice and yes, we all have it and yes, for each of us it differs in degrees and fluctuates in life, but for sure with dating realize that one choice equals another choice — Choice = Choice.
Don’t settle for a toaster that burns your bread, when what you really want a six-burner gas stove to stir-fry fresh vegetables that you hand-picked carefully at the market with love.
In the end it very well could be that since you continued to make GOOD life choices. Choice = Choice you decisions also turns into Choice = Love.

I did not wake up one morning and say “hey I think I’d like a man use my sweater like a towel, write a candid dating book, become a dating expert, the CEO and founder of a social dating site and have three blogs.”
