Is it Like A Resume?

After a while one has to wonder, will all these unsuccessful relationships start to look bad on paper? Is it a dating resume we present to the world?

"Hmmm, looks like you've jumped around a lot. Can you maybe speak to that a little?"

Me: (panicked and sweating) Well, see, I just haven't found the right fit yet. These relationships failed because of THEM, not ME. I did my best to do everything right. I was honest, I was up front, and well, they just had different ideas about how the relationship should have been run.

"To the casual observer, as you've been let go more times than you've quit, it looks like you might be difficult to work with."

Me: "But that's just it! I'm awesome, they just didn't see it! They couldn't handle me!"

"What makes you think we can? Handle you, that is"

Me: "Well, I suppose that's the risk you'll have to take."

"Thank you for your time, we'll be in touch. Good luck in the rest of your search."
