I got a taste of my own medicine and I gotta admit, it’s pretty bitter

by The Bare Essentials Today on February 18, 2010

There will be no date this Friday with Nascar guy. I got a taste of my own medicine and I’m not liking it so much.

We chatted. We agreed we would meet this Friday. Then nothing. Sure, there were a few texts, but none since last Saturday. And I found it was me initiating them, not the other way around. This from the guy who before we had our first date, texted me “Good morning, have a great day!” everyday before our date.

That’s my move, not yours. Pretty sneaky sis, pretty sneaky.

As I said in my last post, I was hesitant. I got a case of the Whatifs. Like I always do. Whatif I can’t get past the teeth? Whatif I can’t get past the Nascar? Whatif his junk is too small? (OK I really didn’t think that this time, but hey, the thought has crossed my mind before!) Whatif I can’t deal with him having kids? Whatif I’ve missed my chance? Whatif I already met the *right* person for me and I let him get away? Whatif he can’t deal with my flaws? Whatif I can’t deal with his flaws?

You know, the whatifs.

I get the whatifs a lot and I think that keeps me at arms length from people. They make me second guess myself and my decisions.

This time I decided to forget all the whatifs, those little fuckers. I was just going to let it happen, whatever *it* was. I was going to overlook, not over-analyze and just go with the flow.

Then nothing. Damn it.

My memberships are coming to an end on Match.com and on eHarmony. It’s funny, I canceled eHarmony stating that I wasn’t getting any matches and of the few they were sending me, the majority of them didn’t have any pictures. That very same day they flooded me with new matches and there were only one or two with no pictures. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

So, I decided to give Plenty of Fish one more try. I’ve tried a few times to set up my profile on that site and every single time it was deleted. I couldn’t figure it out. I wasn’t selling anything on the site, there were no nude photos of me. I think this time I finally figured it out. I was cutting and pasting the text from my Match profile into POF and for a free site they can sure detect that shit mighty quick. So I retyped the whole profile and so far, I’m still in.

I hope there really are plenty of fish on this site. Cause my sea is starting to feel like a Dr. Seuss fishbowl right about now.

I’ll be back later. I’ve gone fishing.

The only thing I have to say about POF is that you just need to make sure you screen everyone carefully. There are a lot of nut jobs out there lol
