Fun Fact: In the first week of October I’ve driven through nine states (five of them “never been to before”) and gone 1,200 miles. By the time you read this I will be in the Florida panhandle for the winter. WOOT! The storm isn’t expected near here at all, so things are good. Everyone is on island time – laid-back and relaxed! Setting a meeting or schedule seems to be a foreign concept.
But, wait! There's more...He replied saying he was busy traveling for a few weeks. Then no other communication for two weeks, until I get the email below (in green). Apparently, he’d not been traveling as he said in his previous email. When reading his next email, keep in mind we have had one phone conversation and we have not met.
But, wait! There's more...As I hinted in this previous post (<— read that link or the rest of this post won’t make sense), I have some funny (or not) indecent proposals to share with you all, followed by a hopeful solution to my heretofore screwy dating life: Professional Dating Advice. Oh my, I … But, wait! There’s more…
It’s as I suspected: The creeps came out of the woodwork once I posted photos.
I had my photos up for about 24 hours, but took them down because of the idiot factor. Holy Illiteracy, Batman! I doubt I have the stamina to deal with the creeps, but nothing is more detestable to me than a half-sentence email from someone who didn’t bother to take a moment to read my profile…
But, wait! There's more...Oh. My. With my updated profile posted, I’ve been perusing the profiles of available men. Yikes.
This topic was started by my friend Allison, who is also doing the online dating thing. She posted a question on Facebook about the odd photos men use, like posing with fish. This prompted the first part of this post.
I have this advice to offer to men, before asking all of you for help choosing my own profile photos below:
Men, here’s what not to do in your online dating profile photos, and what we think:
Shirtless photos: So many
But, wait! There's more...But, like any good lemming looking for a cliff, I am moving forward with the online dating. At least for now. You never know when that cliff might suddenly appear.
To that end, I have incorporated your suggestions from the comments section below, and from my Facebook page. You may recognize the first paragraph from the profile I used years ago. I had removed it, but when Kathy suggested including my sense of humor, I added that first paragraph back in. I also mentioned the “Bipolar Kitty Test”. Heh.
But, wait! There's more...I’m going to do it, I’m going to take The Plunge. And I want your help. You probably know from the paragraph I wrote about dating in Cow-Chicken-Oil Town, or my posts on Facebook, that I’m about to join an online dating site. This time I am not under the … But, wait! There’s more…
Editor’s note: As the title might indicate, this post if full of randomness. Why? Because my mind is too full of the useless crap I “have to get done” to think of something funny and entertaining to write. But I wanted you all to know I’m still here, and would … But, wait! There’s more…
A while back I wrote Ten Things: Ten Reasons Dating Sucks. Because of my mixed feelings about dating vs. remaining single, I now have ten more reasons dating sucks. And because I’m apparently a glutton for punishment. MamaSteph, in her article Men… Ugh…, put it better than I ever could … But, wait! There’s more…
Continuing the theme of How to Ask a Gal Out (the “Don’ts”), I now present the “Do’s”… He said, “I just spent the night with Kernut!” That was the title of his post to the singles group list of 700 people! Holy Shatner! Considering it’s been a while since anyone … But, wait! There’s more…
