Here I go with my first blogging adventure. This idea came to me about 3 years ago when I was on match.com – I just got dumped from an on again off again 2 year relationship and wanted to get back into the swing of dating. I signed up for match.com and cried about it that night – so embarrassed, 23 and on a dating site – I felt like a big loser. I went on a few dates and I quickly found out I wasn’t a loser but these dates were not exactly winners. Every Sunday my friends and I would have lunch after church and I would share with them my dating stories – they would be crying from laughter and ask me if there was really people out there like that or was I making it up!? Really?! I don’t have the imagination to make up those dates that I experienced.
So here I am 3 years later and single again, but closer to 30 (I say that as if 26 is an age that feels more appropriate to be on a dating site). D-bag after d-bag I meet and everyone just says “oh honey he’s just not the one for you. There are plenty of fish in the sea; you’ll find someone when the time is right.” Well, I think everyone is full of ish (shit for you non slang savvy people) – as I watch friends get married and/or have baby after baby on Facebook, I sit back and wonder how they found someone so perfect for themselves and are so happy? The pains of jealousy begin because they are not dealing with today’s dating pool like I have to fend through. Lucky bitches.
I did it – I signed up on a dating site we will call it “SDs” – I am giving this site a month, already a week into it I cant get past the emails I have received from all my ishies in the sea. So come along on my dating adventure – I will be blogging about each experience and I hope you find it entertaining.
Dating does suck but I will find the humor in it and have fun :)
