Awkward

A guy I went on a few dates with made an interesting comment about my generation, he said we call everything "awkard"- aka if something doesn't go completely smooth it's written off as awkward. Should that really be the way we look at things?

I think not.

Which is why I tend to date "awkward" people. They might not be "by the book" or even "well dressed," but hey, if you've got personality, wit and some charm, well that beats style every day in my book. That all being said, some/many of the awkward people I've dated haven't necessarily met up to the personality, wit and charm standards.



On that same token though, some perfectly perfect people just don't match. And you know what? That's ok. Society makes you feel guilty for not being with someone who treats you right *cough Aiden and Carrie cough* but just because he's nice doesn't mean it -- the relationship -- is right. However, that doesn't justify cheating like Carrie did (just to finish off the analogy).

It's just that, well, why the hell not be awkward? Is awkward really that bad? And if it's that terrible why do we talk about it so much? Awkward is normal in my mind, I mean who isn't awkward at some point? If you can answer that question with a name, well then, that person is probably boring.

Till next time,
