Online Dating

So don't tell my mom (how many times am I going to start my blog with this), but I signed back up for eharmony on Saturday. I really wasn't that psyched to start again, not because I didn't have a good experience last time, but just because of the work that it was going to entail.

I know half of you are married who read this blog, but dating sucks. There are so many bad dates. And those of us who are single longer have to go on more bad dates than those who are married, some how that doesn't seem fair, like a double whammy.

Anyway, I did it because I felt I should. I was in a dry spell and needed to water that flowers if you know what I mean, he he. Hey we've all got needs!!! Okay that makes me sound....needy.

That's not it, the truth is I'm not getting any younger and have made a lot of bad choices in the dating department, in no particular order: selfish asshole, chubby funny guy, old guy, okay made that mistake a few times. Yes, thank you for all of the "I told you so...s". (Side note: I'm now old enough now, that I even like some guys my age, ha!)

Anyway, what I really want is to find a best friend, partner, compadre, pal to do all the fun things I want to do with the rest of my life, maybe kids, travel, movies, dinners, sailing, gymnastics, zip-lining, etc. Ahh..... the world is my oyster.......sorry where was I?

Back to dating. After 3 days and 30 matches later, I've already got three possible potentials, a pediatrician, meterologist and financial analyst. Now I'm psyched! How quickly my outlook turned and now my thoughts are "am I ready to settle down?". AHHHHH! I'm screwed.

Look for future dating stories to come....

In the meantime, for those of you who actually read this, let me know what you think about my blogs. I'm trying to find a subject to write about, but haven't thought about anything yet. I'd like your suggestions.

Happy Tuesday!
