I realize I blog about dating a lot, but oh well, sue me.
I just wanted to express these thoughts:
If I ever have to hear a man tell me how...
- Gorgeous
- Funny
- Smart
- Fun
- Intelligent
- Beautiful
- Awesome
- Wonderful
- Interesting
- Responsible
- Sexy
- Great at kissing
...I am EVER again in describing why he doesn't want to pursue dating me anymore I swear I am gonna shoot him!
If only I owned a gun!

Match again
I'm not sure why but I just signed up for Match.com again. I already regret it. That's $45 bucks I'll never see again. And for what? A few winks from some booty-funk and boring guys? Ugh. I need a bowl of ice cream.

"Most of 'em shock the hell outta me..." - Vivian Ward
Has anyone ever experienced the feeling of shock when someone does something that hurts you, even when their past behavior has proven that they will, time after time, hurt you?
It happened to me a couple days ago.
First it was like BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SHOCK.
And then it was me wanting to cry several times.
And then it was me feeling stupid that, despite my afore mentioned chances to KNOW better, I had believed what they said and I had put trust in them.
And at last it was as if the finality of it all sunk in and I accepted it.
I mean, honestly, I am still a bit shocked and rattled, but I have chosen to draw the line and walk on. I cannot allow myself to be shocked this much by people any longer. I believe it's the desire in my heart to see the good in people. Or maybe I'm just naive.

Experience as a Hindrance
I have been following my old (from high school) friend's blog....Life After My Twenties.....and she has recently been writing about dating. Brooke, who we all know and love, made a comment on her blog about the difference between dating in the younger years...teens and early 20s....and the not so young years...late twenties and 30s...and beyond I suppose. She said that it must be different because you have a better idea of what you want when you are older, whereas those that date and even get married when they are younger sometimes make poor choices. That sounds familiar! Anyway, I was thinking about it and I realized that with the experience, I became wiser, smarter and pickier. The problem is that I am a little wiser (I know a lot more about myself and men in general), a little smarter (but I still do stupid things in dating), and A LOT pickier. Great guys are suddenly OK and OK guys are losers.
It's like I find myself spouting out "pass" before the cards have all been dealt, and quite honestly, it's like I find myself not even willing to play because I just don't feel like checking out my hand.
I'm beginning to realize that this could all be due to the fact that there are people in my life right now who are satisfying my current needs. Perhaps I should take a closer look at them...

An old blog...
So I was looking through the files on my computer tonight to try to find a file I think I created with addresses of my family and friends (so I can send out Christmas cards). I haven't found that yet, but I did find a file called "Blog." I VAGUELY remember writing this (with input from Kel and Brooke I think). I looked at the properties and it said that it was created on April 4, 2006. That seems like a weird time for me to be writing something like this, so it makes me question whether or not I wrote it or one of my friends did (I know, I have a HORRIBLE memory), but I am pretty dang sure I wrote it!! (Brooke do you remember this?!)
Anyway, it made me laugh so I thought I'd post it here...
"Okay- So this is what I am thinking—I have been pondering this for a while and I really think that all men should come with warning labels. Little signs right smack in the middle of their foreheads that warn us single girls of the times to come…. I took the liberty of putting these warning labels into different categories. Most men fit into at least one of these- and many fit into more than one! I thought I would share them with my friends- so here goes---
Category #1: “I’m lost”
This guy is the type of guy that you want to save. He goes through life not sure of what he wants or who he wants it with. He is the type of guy that will leave you feeling like a puppy chasing your tail all of the time and trying to be amused by it. He is the kind that calls his parents (or some other party) to discuss every little decision that he makes in his life BEFORE he makes it. You will waste YEARS of your life with this guy trying to convince him that you are the one just for it to all come to an ugly, catastrophic end because he does not know WHAT he wants and no matter how hard you try, you can’t help him figure it out and will rot away waiting for him to figure it out on his own. So, my advice? - Run from this kind and fast- and yes, I have had this guy…
Category #2: “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”
This guy will sweep you off of your feet in the beginning. He will say all of the right things, take you places, and kiss you just how you want to be kissed. You will spend all of your time with him and when you are away from him, you will miss him like crazy. You will think that you have finally found Mr. Right. Then, one day, BAM!! Something will happen. Something will change- and overnight, your world will get turned upside down. The guy that you adore, Mr. Right, the guy that you love, will turn into a monster; a big, ugly beast that you neither know, nor have ever met. And for no reason whatsoever (or at least not one a NORMAL person can understand), it will be over. Just like that. Beware…. And yes, I have had this kind too…
Category #3: “I am only interested sometimes”
This is the guy that will call you, take you out, drop you off and then you won’t hear from him for a couple weeks… text message here, phone call there, email here, date there- Nothing substantial- and that is the extent of it. Good times if you don’t feel anything for the person. BUT- if you do allow yourself to develop feelings for this type of guy, it will kill you- nice and slowly…. My advice? Cut off all ties if you do develop feelings- It is the only way to get out still walking… or at least limping away. And yes, this one too….
Category #4: “I eat my corn the long way.”
This one will be perfect at first. He will dress nice, compliment you all of the time, and go shopping with you, until you notice how he checks out guys more than you do!! Your friends will all tell you that there is something off about him but you won’t notice it until later… I haven’t had this one yet but I do know someone that has!! Hehe…
Category #5: “Sexaholic”
The bed, the bathroom counter, the kitchen, the floor, the car, restaurants, EVERYWHERE! You will feel like a sex goddess until you realize about 10 other girls feel the same way…. Ewww…..
Category #6: “Married with children”
Need I say more? Jerks…
Category #7: “Mr. Right”
This guy is right up there with the unicorn, the tooth fairy, and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow- You don’t think they exist because you have yet to see them. Even though this guy may never come about- I do have to say, being the hopeless romantic at heart that I am, I will continue to hold my breath until he comes along- Even if I have to be blue in the face forever…."
Ok...I am remembering this more and more...I am close to positive I wrote this...LOL!

Game, Set, Match
Match, Match, Match...that's what us online daters call Match.com. We are too cool, I guess, to say "dot com" after the word "match". So, yes, I admit it...I did the online dating thing for a little while. It was interesting to say the least. I recently stopped - for now - only because it takes a lot of work and attention and honestly, I'm just not in the mood for that right now. But I will remember my days on Match fondly. I will especially remember the men who were sweet, sincere and charming. Even if I didn't meet these men, I will remember the way they made me feel inside just by being themselves and sharing a piece of that with me. I think an example or two would be helpful here.
We have the men who are very sentimental and sweet...
Example 1:
Hi sweetheart, I read your profile and you seem very interesting to me. I like what you are saying in the profile and I am looking for only one and one girl like you to be my life partner with whom I can stay forever together. I believe in commitment and one day I would like to get married and I have not found beauty with brain like you in my life. Your photos are great too; especially I like your beautiful eyes and nice hair. I like your dress too. I am not looking for quantity; I am looking for the quality girl like you. If you liked my profile please write me back so that we can start communicating.
I have been living here since 8 years by myself and sometimes it gets lonely, now its time to start my own family. I would like to have woman like you in my life.
We also have the comedians...
Example 2 (In response to my naming of my best feature as my hair):
just a note................HAIR ? My dear you don't know us(men) very well!!!!!!! LOL take care
And then we have the nearly speechless...
Example 3:
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do i need to say anymore, but again WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Example 4:
I think I'm in love..........................
As much as receiving emails like these has meant to me, I feel like my head might explode if I have to read another one. Goodbye for now Match.com, may we meet again someday...if you're lucky. :)
