The only thing I don't like about the profile, Mom-Star... is that it pretty much sums up what ANY one of us might want. It doesn't say anything about what makes YOU special and makes you different, KWIM? Sell yourself with your profile! All those things that you said you want? We ALL want that, and if you're looking for a partner, it pretty much goes unsaid.


That's the only reason I can think of that might lead to having no 'bites'- because it just doesn't STAND OUT with that special POP that we all know you have!!! You are so fun and funny and have so much spunk- and it should come through in your profile!


BTW- I love the stocking project. It looks complex (so many little parts!) but I bet it's fun! I am such a crafter... I have friends online and we joke about having CMAD: Craft Madness Affective Disorder. We have multiple projects in progress, some active, others set aside temporarily... and more in the closet waiting their turn. And then we're still finding more to buy. ;-)

Dont be sick. Youre going to have fun. There will be lots of laughs. Lots of fun times. Some dissappointments. Lots of hope. It will be ok. Trust me. There are good books out there to prepare you for this too. I read How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You. It was interesting. But there are more and some specifically for online dating.


But youve read all our stories so you know what to expect. You will see all kinds of guys out there. Its going to be interesting.
