Why do I have to be sooo curious???
| Fri, 02-17-2006 - 12:06pm |
I just spent a whole month of Match.com, but received so many emails, that I decided to check them out. Wow! Some really cute guys contacted me within the last 4 weeks. However, these things NEVER work out, so why do I keep putting myself through this again? UGH!

It's just trial and error I guess. Some of the "matches" are going to be duds, but maybe some of them won't. Just have to weed through the bad ones in order to find a good one I suppose! Good luck though...I'm too scared to do the online thing. Maybe sooner or later I'll get up the nerve and put a profile on one of them.

I met my bf on match.com.
LOL, you enjoy slow torture?
I know exactly what you mean. I have been offline for a while and now on recently. Just try to enjoy the process and meet a lot of new people instead of focusing on meeting just the one. You have really done a lot of good things and have been looking out more for you and I think this will take you to a good place.
And of course keep us posted.
Have fun with it and you never know. They guy I am seeing right now was someone I winked at on match. I NEVER expected him to respond. Just weed out the wackos and see what happens. They have an online dating board on Ivillage that is kinda helpful. I can't post the link on my home computer, or I would share it with you.

You should answer some of them back. You never know -- that's how I met Steve. Besides, if you don't meet the one, you might make a new friend -- and thta's good for you being in a new place. Don't be so negative and give it a shot. You never know.

Well, I am not going to hold my breath anymore. I know it sounds negative, but it has been so many duds that I don't know why I put myself through the torture.
However, I will take your words of advice and encouragement. :)
Cat, I agree with Donna on this one. Although we all do have red flags we avoid with profiles, I think you have to give each one a chance and not try to prejudge them.
The whole dating process,never mind the online dating process, is tiring for everyone - not just single moms. I have a friend who is single, never been marries and 25 - she is just as frustrated as us.
You just have to keep waiting for the right one. But in the mean time you can have fun communicating and meeting new people.
Are you doing anything to meet anyone in real life?
