Well, as with typical all American Summer fun, I was out livin' it up for the Memorial Day weekend, thus the late installment of Naked Anxiety. As with every year, I welcome summer with a traditional weekend of parties, beer, BBQ, and thoughts of hot summer nights. Both literally and figuratively.
With thoughts of summer and the fun most anticipate, I began to think of the good 'ol summer romances. Do they really exist anymore, and at 30-something have I out-grown them?? I'd like to think not, but...
Tonight I spent some time talking with Nyx and Aphrodite. My fellow single, gorgeous, intelligent cohorts. We all agreed, a summer romance could be just what we need to snap out of our B.S.S. funk we're in. What not better to snap out of a B.S.S. funk then being half naked at the pool, beach, or lake with the aroma of coconut oil and tequila sunrise's waifing in the air and a hottie laying next to you catching some rays?? That is picture perfect in my mind for some fun!
So I suppose the first place to start in our summer lovin' would be finding the right beach, pool, or lake boy. Again being 30-something, and for Nyx and Aphrodite who are single mom's, we just wouldn't go to our local club and pick out a yummy guy who winks at us. So where are us hottie, more sophisticated gals supposed to look?? Moreover, once we find Mr. Summer Dreamboat, how do we conduct our-self in the manner of fun versus relationship?? And to add to the pressure, what if one of us doesn't find a summer love?? What if our summer love is more like a summer one night stand?? Then when fall comes and Labor Day is in our lap, we are left just as depressed, alone and rejected as we ever were. So, is it really worth the effort and gamble?? Perhaps that is why I'm single but never available. LOL....
Okay, for the sake of argument, lets say Mr. Summer Dreamboat does fall into our life. Then what?? If he's so great, what makes us think our hot, summer fun won't suddenly become more complicated. Like as in, relationship complicated and commitment complicated?? Perhaps suddenly what was to be a fun filled summer fling, is now a messy, gooey, mushy ball of relationship mess. Again when fall comes, we are back at square one.
SO, that brings me to my last pondering thought.... Does any kind of fling or relationship happen like it does in the movies?? Is there a happily ever after at all?? Like Danny and Sandy, will your summer romance end up being the real deal?? Will Nyx, Aphrodite, and I find someone past Zeus or Hermes and the others that plague our day to day life already?? Is a summer romance really realistic for a 30-something looking for perfection in chaos??
Thoughts?? I know you all have opinions and advice this time... Lets hear what you think!
Stripped down, exposed and real…
