Lack Of Focus Can Ruin Your Dating Life

My girl Necole Bitchie is firm in her belief that she at times suffers from an inability to focus. But what I found to be intriguing was her view that this was in many ways ruining her dating life.

I came to the realization that I have some serious issues. Like real time problems! My inability to stay focused is f*cking up my love life, and I have no idea what to do. People always say live in the moment, but I can never “get” in the moment and once you “get” me there, I can’t stay focused. Here’s a few examples below:

Meeting A Guy

So let’s say you are a nice guy that I’m interested in and we exchange numbers. Normally, the next step is to have a few chats on the phone, set up a date and “get to know each other” right?. Well, it never happens that way with me. Why? Because, I’ll exchange numbers but then it takes 3 months to even get me on the phone. Why Is That? My inability to focus. First and foremost, I never pick up the phone unless it’s a scheduled call. I know it sounds crazy but I have to know when the call is gonna take place so I can get myself prepared mentally for the call. That means shutdown laptop, turn off music and stop everything that I”m doing so I can FOCUS on what the person is about to say to me..or I’ll end up doing everything but listening during the call. You ever sit on the phone with someone for hours and realized the both of you haven’t said sh*t because you are both preoccupied with something else? Then afterwards you just realized that the both of you have pretty much wasted each other’s day and time? lol..exactly. The reason I hate phones..

Anywho, finally after 3 months we’ve scheduled a time to talk, we chat *very briefly * and we schedule a date.

The Date

So we meet at a nice spot on the first date and everything’s going great. We are chatting and getting to know each other, when my danggone inability to Focus kicks in. It’s not that you are boring me, I just can’t focus right now. I start to check the blackberry, see some interesting emails *excuse me can I answer this one real quick*, I’m looking around at the atmosphere, my attention’s now on this asian couple at the back of the room, now i’m focused on the black couple walking in the door, my blackberry vibrates again *and hot damn we got a catastrophe here. You ask me if “I’m okay”, I’m fine..I promise you. Just distracted and it has nothing to do with you.

Needless to say, I normally don’t get past the first date.

But say I do…

Now we’ve been on quite a few dates and you may just be the one. So we come to the end of a great date and you can’t hold out any longer. So you lean in for the..

First Kiss

An accident just waiting to happen. First we bump heads. You lean in for the mouth, I just happened to turn to watch a car that was zipping by and you peck me on the side of my eye. Okay, that was awkward, but you don’t go out without a fight. You grab my chin so my face is now facing yours and you go in for the gold. Problem is..now my Focus is way off.

*damn that was a fly azz car that just went by* *what’s that sound* *damn he smells good**wait are we kissing**OMG, WE ARE KISSING!!**damn am i doing this right**are my eyes still open**shat! let me close my eyes before he sees me peeking*

and the next thing you know, my inability to focus has just f*cked up our first kiss.

Sigh, but it’s alright. You don’t seem bothered. There’s always another time to do it right, you assure. And there are…we in the groove now…

And then we get to …

Sex

Somehow you got me focused enough to get in the heat of passion. You put on soft music, lit some candles and massaged me almost to sleep. You have succeeded in quieting my mind and i”m focused. Somehow it works because you finally got me in the sheets. AND THEN my inability to focus kicks in. LORD knows don’t ask me any questions like “how you like that? Is it good?” or “Say my name” because by now you should already know that I have a hard time concentrating and adding in extra steps I have to do like answering random questions will just f*ck up my concentration. “Roll over, bend your back, grab this, hold that, is it good, you like this baby?”

Cot damn! What?

And all of a sudden my inability to focus kicks back in. Next thing you know Im thinking

*He wants me to do what?**damn, did I take my clothes out the dryer**shat! I was supposed to email such and such**did I make that bank transfer**Are we having sex?**OMG! we are having sex??**Am I doing this right?* What did he just ask me to do**what happened to the fourplay, did I miss that??*

………And next thing you know, I’m out of the groove and have f*cked up our love life.

*sigh* What am I going to do? Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Any suggestions on regaining my focus? Love is for the birds anyway, right….
