No thank you!

So I’ve tried to give this whole dating thing a go.  I knew before when I was married that the world was full of losers and I would laugh at them and say to myself, “I’m so glad I don’t have to put up with them”, “I wouldn’t want to be single”. And you know I was so right!  I’m in no way saying that men are all losers and I am in no way a man hater.    If there was some type of machine where you could create exactly what you want, the world would be a nice place and everyone would be happy.   Unfortunately I don’t feel like test driving models, as a friend of mine said; “You have to kiss the frogs to get to your prince.” Really? But I don’t want to!!

I joined Eharmony because their commercials are so awesome and the couples look so happy and in love.   Those people at Eharmony are just sitting there taking our money and laughing at us.  I closed my account after 1 month.  Let me tell you why;

First of all, if you aren’t familiar with Eharmony let me explain to you how it works.  You fill out a questionnaire that takes about 15 minutes.  They ask you all kinds of questions about yourself, your view on life and what you are looking for in a partner.  Fair enough, sounds great, I was in!  The first week I had quite a few ‘matches’ as they call them.  These are the partners that would be best suited to what I was looking for.  First guy I spoke with was quite nice.  After about 2 weeks of emails back and forth, we decided to meet for lunch.   He was a very nice guy, has a daughter, great job, funny, good looking.  The lunch date is going quite well so we decide to go for a walk and get some fresh air.  We sat under a tree talking, laughing and we talked about our kids.  Next think I hear is ‘So would you be interested in a threesome?’  I heard a big record scratch in my head…WHAT?!  Are you kidding me? What happened to the nice date, the nice conversation and just the plain niceness?  “NO I’m not into that but thanks for asking…” - maybe that’s why I never heard back from him….

The second date is exactly the same as the first- except we had dinner.  Again, same question comes out and this time I laugh my head off.  Really? Are you kidding me?  These are the guys Eharmony is matching me with?  And in their questionnaires there were no questions about your ‘extracurricular activities’ so I have no idea what happened.   Account deleted. 

 So that’s my input on dating.  There were 2 others but they were quite boring and no need mentioning.   I will gladly keep you updated, although I am pretty sure I will be taking a break from this circus of online dating, unless I meet my Prince Charming today.  (cue the laugh track)
