My mission here is simple. I'm creeping up quickly onto my mid 40's. I'm relatively attractive, smart and funny. I've been divorced for 16 years. I've tried the online dating thing, friends "setting me up" and even went to a "lock and key party" (LAME-O!) to step "out of the box" to find my ultimate "match". All of this has been to no avail.
I've come full circle on the "being alone" thing - I'm really not opposed to it, but my two grown children think I need to "put myself out there". I also have mild reservations in that I'm not sure it's "normal" to just exist...
I don't want to end up with a bunch of cats, scaring the neighborhood kids or being perceived as a "man hater", but I don't dislike being by myself.
So, as much as I absolutely HATED THE ONLINE DATING thing....I am giving it one last whirl. I've signed up for a popular, unnamed dating site for the next 6 months and I will be chronicling my journey through my last 100 first dates. If I can't find anyone after 100 first dates - let's face it folks....I just can't find anyone. If I DO find love before then....well, all the better and we'll call it a day!
DISCLAIMER:
This should in no way be perceived as a man-hating blog. I love men....but I'm going to be honest about my dating experiences, so if I offend you - sorry. I'm just telling the truth. If you are offended by my references to being alone - once again, sorry. I'm not suggesting every woman who chooses to be alone is a man-hater or a crazy cat lady. This is just how I feel about being alone.
And one last thing.....I'm not prejudice against any race, ethnicity, religion, social group, etc., etc., etc. I am an equal opportunity discriminator - I pretty much just hate liars and fakes - if any particular group falls into this category - you're fair game.
