The Dateable Dork

In my experience, I either have a spark with someone or I don’t.  Plain and simple.  I know it right away, and that’s that.  When I met the European for drinks last week, I didn’t really feel anything, but I decided to give it one more chance because, god damn it, he’s a pretty good [...]

Just wanted to pop in to say that I’m home from date #2 with the European – details tomorrow.  Bottom line: I have mixed feelings about this one.  Hmm.  Will have to ponder what to do from here.  Also: While I was out I got three – yes THREE – voicemails, which is three more [...]

I was pondering the European on the way back from the movies tonight (I saw “Greenberg,” which was actually pretty good), and it occurred to me that he’s probably a lot of other things other than European.  Like maybe he’s OCD or has weird furniture or only wears pink shirts.  Or maybe he sleeps with [...]

Well well well, I actually met someone online who turned out to be, in fact, NOT a troll.  Holy fucking shit, has hell frozen over or what??  : )  Here’s the play-by-play: So, going into this date, I knew that this guy was a fairly recent European transplant, which made him seem pretty exotic and [...]

Headed out the door in a fancy dress and four-inch heels to meet a dude at a fancy rooftop bar to have a fancy drink.  Here’s hoping the dude lives up to the dress, the venue, and the drink.  Details tomorrow.

I am very happy to report that I had a good day today, what with all the recent online dating drama and subsequent banging my head against the wall.  Observe: 1.  I had the most awesome yogurt for breakfast this morning – Siggi’s Icelandic style skyr.  This is the yogurt I’ve been looking for my [...]

As I mentioned last week, my online dating email return rate over the past few times I’ve disgustedly lowered myself into the dumpster has been zero.  Not close to zero, but exactly zero.  And it’s no different this time around – over the past week I’ve contacted about 40 people and have gotten exactly zero [...]

I think (?) I’ve mentioned this before on the blog (like, eons ago) that despite all the bullshit associated with online dating, I do make it a point to reply to everyone who contacts me, whether I’m interested or not.  The majority of people who wind up contacting me are people who I’m not interested [...]

“A girl with an unfortunate nose.”  I read that in a book somewhere once (or maybe it was online?  who can remember anymore…), and it struck a chord with me.  Short of plastic surgery, you can’t control the shape of your nose.  You can’t control a lot of things, actually, but I’m ok with that.  [...]

… I’m eating peanut butter out of the jar and waiting for a guy to call.  Half the jar is already gone.  Enough said.
