Fun with online dating and other weekend activities

Sep 30, 2006 18:25

Had a lame Friday. I got home late from work and decided not to exercise and basically fell asleep on the couch at like 8:30 and woke up at 2:00 am. What a productive evening for me that was! I think I'm not used to getting up so early or else I'm having a wee bit of a Sjogren's fatigue flare. I'm just really tired. I hope it's not my thyroid ( Read more... )

Twin Souls on a Saturday... szechuan September 30 2006, 23:57:04 UTC

It really is amazing how we tend to go through the same patterns and do similar errands on the weekends - while wondering about mindless "opportunities" and settling with "It is going to be okay" thoughts.

Whenever I post blogs on My Space, I take a looksy at how many people have viewed my profile that day. Then, I filter through the soulless messages I get from men who say things like, "Hey! I like your diverse music selection," and follow it up with the inevitable "I like music (no specifics) too!"

They all ask to be my friend.

Editing my profile from "In a Relationship" to "Single" has worked wonders for my knowledge of the men lurking around this city.

After that moment in time goes by, I scurry past the messages to get to the real ones from my friends - and always feel so much better.

I cannot go to Match anymore. I want to meet someone who I bust into at an ice cream parlor, wipe the strawberry goo off my jacket, look up and have him catch me in that fuzzy way.

Or, I want to recycle something over 10 years old that I should have realized was proper, but was too young to arrive at such a rational decision back then!

Have you heard Rob Dickinson's latest album?

I'm starting to come to the conclusion after a week that Match isn't going to be all that good for me either. I, too, want to just meet someone face to face in that silly Hollywood way. But I'm going to stick it out for 6 months and give it a chance. I know quite a few people who have found their match through the personals.

I think I will just enjoy the lame profiles and the silly men who think that I would be interested in a guy that lives in CA....

I don't think I want to recycle something from 10 years ago, I would settle for something from 3 years ago or even someone current.

Hang in there, it will all work out.
