My Venture Into the World of eDating
It seems when you get to be my age (mid-40s) most folks are married. Some on their first marriage, a greater percentage on their second marriage and some are on their third marriage or more, poor bastards. (God love them for keeping the faith.)
Now that I am ready to venture into the post-divorce dating world, I can’t meet a single guy to save my soul. Let me clarify that. I can’t meet a guy who is single to save my soul. Married men I meet all the time.
Piece of advice: married men should not date – unless the date is with your wife. That’s a post for another day.
Most of my pals can’t help me because they are married – as are their friends – and their friends. You get the idea. It’s a big vicious circle of married people (not that there is anything wrong with that).
So I am doing the next best thing to actual dating. I am eDating.
Fine. I haven’t had a real eDate yet. (Is that an oxymoron?) I hope to eDate.
I started with eHarmony to very limited success. (Read: no success or I wouldn’t have to keep trying.) I just signed on with Match.com.
I invite you to join me as I experience the joys, sorrows and utter hell of meeting men online. Which I guess isn’t really that much different from the utter hell of meeting men in real life.
I’ll compare and contrast the two sites and share with you lessons learned and what I am sure will be amusing stories. (My life seems to be an amusing story most days.)
I am doing this for you, gentle reader. So you will not have to learn these lessons on your own. (Yes, I am a giver.)
Oh, Jim from Alaska just sent me a communication on eHarmony. And I got winked at 5 times on Match (not that I know what that means.) Who is Sexy 16254? Why is someone I don’t know IM-ing me?
Stay tuned. This should be fun. In a really weird way.
