Online Dating




I took my moms advice, which is normal, but the not-so normal advice is what has caused this new perspective i have on dating. 'eharmony' she said. She knows someone that has used it and considering that i am the most picky person when it comes to men i should try it out. I figured i have nothing to lose. Which i don't! It's actually been a really interesting, comfortable, and a pressureless process. There has not been any communication between any of the guys and myself but we have exchanged some question/answer profiles. Honestly, i would recommend it to anyone - there is nothing to lose (and it's kinda fun). Anyways, so the other day i checked my email and answered some personal questions then read some replay's then deleted a hand-full of possible victims for any number of reasons. I deleted one guy because he said his belly jiggled when he brushed his teeth!!! IM SERIOUS - i can't make that up! Then i started to realize . . . I am too perfect on paper! But OMG these poor guys have no idea what they are getting them selves into. I snore when i sleep, i snort when i laugh, i will have high expectations for any man of mine, his teeth must be white, his clothes must be in style, i will be the most stubborn person he knows, i will embarrass him in public, i will question his relationship with his mother, i will fix his hair, i will fold his underwear wrong, and not iron his shirts. I will burn his pizza and pay for dinner way too much. I will drink too many martinis on our first date and then snort again because i can't control it. I will reveal too much blunt information about myself and then he will give me the awkward -side-puppydog look. I will be so honest it might hurt and then feel really bad and not be able to take it back. I will beat him in miniature golf and make him play cards until late hours of the night until i win. I will correct his vocab and yell at him when he cuts someone off on the road. I will go off on him when he tells me i am over-reacting. . . Do i really have to continue!?
Wish Him luck!!!!

By the way - 80 percent of the matches that i have had from our 'Personality Profile ' have been matched to men that have a career in Engineering or Government. Seriously!? Does anyone else find that ironic?!

Okay that was AWESOME!! I can totally relate other than the paying for dinner part! Ha!!! I love your Mom for this if for nothing else! Priceless! And irony seems to follow us where ever it is we are, doesn't it?! (I love the vocab part, I think that's one of my most annoying habits) GOOD LUCK!

I don't know Jeff, but didn't I tell you that exact same thing one day? That cracked me up! I think it was more along the lines of one person won't meet ALL of your needs, but you'll stop looking for someone who can...? I'm sure it was more eloquent at the time, but kudos Jeff...I agree!
