Being single, alone, and in your 20s or 30s, or whatever age , it doesnt matter, sucks! I’m pretty much a “career woman.” I’ve attained my goal: graduate college…check….start your career…check…find a single, handsome, educated man…no check. Wait a minute….wtf? Let me back up here for a moment. Ok, so back in college, it was easy; go to clubs, bars, class, or even hanging out on school campus, it was filled with single, adorable hot college hunks. I kept thinking “these losers are broke, probably have no job, or no source of income, so why talk to them? ill just wait until I graduate college and then that’s when the guys that got their shit together will come along.” haha…yeah , right. Joke’s on me. They are NO WHERE to be found.
Now, with the advice of “friends,” I’ve been told to do the whole online dating thing. Yes, I was skeptical, and i had a right to be skeptical. I mean, you are basically online, ruling out whether or not you want to date a guy based on what his online dating profile says, and his pictures. I mean, even just one little thing he says cean make you change your mind about him.
After my horrible break up with my ex, who broke up with me (stomped on my heart) and left me standing there in the afternoon at the parking lot of some stupid mall, I needed to get some self reassurance and confidence back. I went home, cried my ass off, and then put on tons of makeup, and took some silly pictures of me and posted about 2 or 3 on a dating website. Certainly, if my ex doesnt seem to appreciate me, someone will….well, i kept saying that to myself. i decided to sign up for 2 online dating websites.
The day after my break up, I’ve finally managed to keep myself busy. I had 3 consecutive dates.
Date number 1: short, about 4’6, french, drove a beat up old hyundai, and it had bricks tied to the gas pedal so he can reach it. I ended the date IMMEDIATELY. He lied about his height, saying that he was 5’9. LIAR!!!
Date number 2: he couldnt speak english. I ended the date right there.
Date number 3: tall, educated, and seemed ok. He kept talking about himself and didnt even give me a second to ask a question. We went out for coffee. He took off his jacket, and was wearing a white shirt with yellow armpit stains (gross!) and started rubbing my knees saying “you know, Im a virgin. I will give it to you, if you want it.”So, that date ended.
From then on , i still did the whole online dating thing. My friend, liz said “dont give up, man. He’s out there somewhere, hopefully..maybe…shit, i dont know.” She was in the same boat, too. I kept meeting different guys. One after another after another, and I just about had it. On my profile , it said the same thing “it’s difficult to meet people. I am not desperate but I hate meeting people at bars and clubs.” blah blah blah. It was the same thing: exchanging messages back and forth , talking on the phone, and then meeting. OMG. and after judgement day, it ends right there. I can go on and on about my dreadful dates, but it would take me forever to write. LMAO. Anyway, the only fun part of dating was bringing my friends along to “spy” and “judge” my next possible candidate, ordering a crap load of food for free…well, that’s if they offer to pay.
If you’re going to take part in online dating, make sure you understand that people tend to “lie” on there in some fashion…they also post old pics from way way way back in the days. Be prepared to expect the unexpected. Make sure to meet in a safe place, and good luck. Email me and let me know how it goes.
