My Dating Life Playlist
Mr. Ethical Slut’s last post got me thinking - what are the top ten songs that describe my dating experiences? In no particular order, they are:
1. Fool of Me - Me’Shell Ndegeocello: We have all that one person who we thought liked us more than they did. You thought it was more serious than it was - and when you found out you were just a blip in his life, you couldn’t help but feel like a fool.
2. Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt: This is the national anthem for the one that got away. Bad timing, long distance, too young, too old - you just couldn’t get it right. But if you did, it would have been the stuff they make movies about.
3. Ex-Factor - Lauryn Hill: There are some exes that you just can’t get rid off. They pop in your head and back in your life when you least expect.
4. Mr; Brightside - The Killers: Okay, if you’ve ever heard this song before then you probably have no idea what it means. Me neither. But I find the title a little indicative of many of my failed dating experiences - the brightside is that I put myself out there and learned from it. Pretty, f*ing bright, huh?
5. Sexy Love - Ne-Yo: If you’ve ever had clothing flying, three rooms, three hours, at leas three times at night escapades, this song was probably playing in the background.
6. Smoke and Ashes - Tracy Chapman: For the one too many times you thought you found “the one” only to realize months later that is was all in your head.
7. I Wanna Be Your Lover - Prince: Nothing is so obvious and transparent as this song. Best line - “I wanna be the only one that makes you come running.”
8. I Go to Sleep - The Pretenders: This song captures exactly how hollow it feels to sleep alone.
9. Near You Always -Jewel: There is a point you reach when dating someone that you realize you prefer to have them around more than less - and then you know you have moved from dating to a relationship.
10. Better Be Good to Me - Tina Turner: I crank this song up in my apartment ever so often to remind myself that I should not accept anything less than a man that treats me extremely well. Not okay, but extremely well.
