Love is all around me

Or like. Or lust. Or the burning desire to be assured that one "still has it."

Is it just me, or is everybody trying to hook up? I have been having a conversation on at least 5 different occasions with various friends about dating prospects, creative first moves, do's and dont's, and hitting on the waiter from your friendly neighborhood pizzeria. Hmmm, must be the colder climate, as I was ribbing a friend about potentially singing "Ang Disyembre ko ay malungkot..." during the holidays. Or the desire to brush up one's game and confidently say, "may asim pa ako."

Now, I love the concept of dating. Being effectively out of the dating pool for a while now, I play either the indispensable love doctor or the overeager matchmaker with an embarrassingly dismal record. I am rather amused watching from the sidelines.
