I feel like I have been just spinning my wheels the past few months. Doing the same thing, over and over again. Day in, day out.
Sounds exciting, right?
No new dates since the one with the kids who didn’t even bother to walk me to my car. I’ve been *winked* at by someone who said he was 5’9” but is now feeling 5’11” (dontcha just hate when you grow like that??), been *winked* at by Silver dude who didn’t get the hint when I politely said I wasn’t interested so he felt the need to email me to tell me he was my Mr. Right. And also old enough to be my father. Got email from some dude on PoF who had a wild weekend rescuing some parrots or something like that. Another *wink* from some dude who is looking for a God fearing woman (that’s pretty much all his profile said.) And Wolverine (his facial hair looked like Wolverine, but he was not even close to looking like Hugh Jackman!) who after I declined his *wink* emailed me asking if I’d actually read his profile and how could two former NY’ers not have fun? Well, buddy boy, your profile wasn’t actually that intriguing to me and didn’t sound very fun at all.
It’s getting old. Stale. It’s the same profiles on every freaking site (I’m currently only on Match and PoF.) It makes you start to feel like things will never happen.
I’m a decent looking gal, I have a wicked sense of humor, I’m a gosh darn good person. Where is he already? What is it about my profile that makes the not so interesting guys respond and not the ones I’m actually interested in? Is it me? Is it my looks? I’ve had a few *winks* or emails that I’ve shown to some friends and they were all, what makes that person think they are in your league? Now I don’t agree with this completely, typically I would neverinamillion years classify myself as “league” worthy, but after viewing some of these profiles, I kinda sorta agree. They are ridonkulous!
Honestly, I don’t know where I’m going with this post except to use it as an outlet for my frustrations. I’m tired of not having someone to come home to at night, someone I can call up after a bad day, someone to cook dinner for/with, and definitely someone I can go to bed with at night 
I read some of these other dating blogs and I wonder are they just less picky then me? How do they get all these emails, dates, etc. Are guys truly only interested in looks? Stick thin, blonde, big boobs, Barbie-looking type girls? I guess I lose then. Brunette, curvey, definitely don’t look like Barbie, not even like her red-headed step sister, I got the boobs thing down though!
Alright, enough self-pity about my lack of a dating life. I’d write about work, but it sucks too. Plus they could fire me.
So onto vacation!
Yay, I absolutely cannot wait to go on vacation. One week away! And it will not be anything like my trip last year with that psycho stalker who said he was at my hotel. Creepy. Nope, not telling anyone where I’m going, where I’m staying or when I’m going.
No laptop. Not answering my cell unless it’s a personal call. Got myself some new duds and some new kicks and I’m gonna enjoy.
Afternoon cocktails? Why yes, don’t mind if I do.
Decadent dinners? Absofuckinglutely, I’m all over that.
I hope to come back refreshed, a little richer and ready to start the next chapter in my dating life. Hopefully this blog will get a bit more interesting!
BTW….hop on over to In the Real World: Venus vs Mars, it’s a great site and tomorrow they will posting some topics looking for some feedback and maybe even a guest poster or two!

What is that saying– A watched pot never boils. This is one of those opportunities that you can take to look at yourself. When I was single I used to think that I would “NEVER” be married. And if you looked at the field at the time it sure looked like that was the case. So, I decided to look at myself and try and improve myself so that I would be more happy with myself (since it appeared that I was going to be stuck with myself the rest of my life). Then before you knew it, I met someone and the rest is history.
The best of skill in overcoming the day to day monotony and finding some fresh excitement,
This is so true. I’m thinking maybe I just need to step back and reflect on myself for a while. If it happens it happens.
I can tel you that all guys don’t prefer the barbies. Like me!
He’ll get there. Just keep trying them out. Be open to guys you know in real life too, you might be missing one staring right at you!
Good luck!
Don’t tell Sage, but I agree with him. Look at the men who you surround you on a day to day basis, who makes you laugh. Maybe you just haven’t been open to them?
I don’t know. I loved dating, but then again, I married early so wasn’t able to really get bored with it, ya know?
But I have plenty of single friends that I get frustrated for. I am always shocked that they have a hard time meeting a good guy because they are so fantastic, like yourself.
You want to re-post this on Group Therapy one Wednesday? Thanks for pimping the post tomorrow.
Good Luck girl and have a FABULOUS time on your vacation, totally jealous!
Thank goodness….cause Barbie I am not! Believe me, I’m open, just don’t know too many single ones!
Thanks Shelle! I cannot wait for vacay! Take a break, not check any of my sites and just be me!
Ughhhhh. You’d think online dating would at least be good for the blog fodder, you know? Not when there’s nothing to pick from!
Have a blast on vacay!!
