Well, my post just got eaten. Yeesh.
The post was something about how I probably shouldn’t bother checking out the singles sites or even trying anything online because I never get replies, or if I do it’s mostly from fake women or women who are being paid to pretend to be who they’re not. But how is that different than what I usually do?
At the gym today I talked to the woman with the broken phone (turns out Earthlink sent her the wrong hardware) and she was telling us that one of her friends at the gym wouldn’t talk to her any longer. Turns out they went on a date and it didn’t go the way he wanted it to go. Sounds stinky that he doesn’t talk to her any longer. But I told her that I don’t ask out anyone at work or anyone from places I go to all the time, so that just means I don’t ask anyone out at all.
Funny how I end up disappointed even when I try to avoid any risk.
Anyway, that’s just life as I know it.
meeting interesting people is a crap shoot. Some of my favorite long-term friends have been people I’ve worked with. THEIR friends tend to be interesting, too. So maybe some side-ways connections are in order.
geez, I dunno what makes me fell entitled to comment on your dating situation. I just know what it feels like to want to share life and not have THE someone to share it with. I’m just not sure working at making it happen will do so. Maybe, just concentrate on doing what floats your boat.
I never met anyone when I most desperately wanted to. So instead, I dove into whatever obsessed me at the time. ….And met some people.
Maybe doing your utmost to make you happy will bring some new friends you way. More ‘play’ in your day?
I think that it is worth the bother. If I didn’t bother (even in a half-assed way), I wouldn’t have met the love of my life. Then I couldn’t be all ooey gooey disgusting on my vanity blog all the time! 😛
But seriously, Todd. Don’t give up! Sure there are lots of duds out there on the singles sites, but there’s bound to be someone grand too. And besides, even if you don’t end up meeting “the one” on such a site, you might expand your network and meet “the one” through said expanded network.
hey, i get paid good money to write to you! i have to rack my brain to come up with these funny lines, you know.
maybe you should ask out that girl with the phone problem. you know for sure that she’s single and looking for someone. and it’s the perfect timing, since she just went out with a jerk. you go show her how much better it is to be with a nice guy.
