So I did it. I signed up for online dating...again. I am a bit surprised that I did. I mean, about three years ago when I did it the first time, it was not a successful venture and I swore (swore!!) I'd never do it again. But for some reason, here I am once again......
The thought to sign up again first started a few months ago when my friend and I were moaning and groaning about how pathetic it was that we were single and there were no eligible bachelors around...anywhere! I mean, we are above average in looks (she's beautiful!) and we are all-around great catches. It's ok to toot my own horn, isn't it? So why were we still single? Maybe it is because we are past the bar-hopping stage in our lives. And when we do go out, it's with our girlfriends and we just want to hit up happy hour and relax from our busy week. And as for meeting people through friends, well that's a complete bust. All my friends are married with married friends. And the ones that have single friends, admit that even they wouldn't set us up together. I guess I can thank them for looking out for me.
So when online dating came up, I admitted that I had already ventured down that road before. But that I might be interested in doing it again since it's been a few years and obviously I am still single as all hell! It makes me nervous to accept the fact that I'm back online. I am experiencing all sorts of different emotions: nervous, anxious, embarrassed, scared... you name it. I can understand why I might be nervous or anxious, but why am I embarrassed? I think it's because by clicking on "accept", I am admitting that I can't meet a guy on my own. But why should that be an embarrassment? It just is. I am weird. I admit it.
Anywho....so begins my second (and hopefully last) hurrah into the world of online dating. I am going to try and blog about the good, the bad and the ugly. Hopefully there will be more good than bad or ugly. But regardless, it will be documented.
