It worked out for awhile, and I really thought we would be hooked up for life, but we ran into a few snags along the way. I won’t get into details here, but I will say that it involved a big spoiled dog, an ex-wife from Hell, and the IRS breathing down our necks.
So now I am back. Although I haven’t started dating again – yet anyway – I am considering it and doing the leg work. And what leg work, you might ask?
Leg lifts and ham stretches aside, I am actually talking about checking out the online dating sites. They haven’t changed much since I last looked. What I see is a bunch of people just like me, that don’t really want to be there at all. They are just checking out their options, and that is the quickest and easiest one, right at their fingertips. We all hope for miracles at the snap of a finger. After all, isn’t that the norm these days – instant gratification?
Finding dates through cyberspace seems tremendously less than ideal. I mean, what can you really tell about anybody from a few pictures strategically taken to hide flaws, such as excess weight or bad skin? Photoshop can camouflage just about anything these days. I don’t have it myself, so how can I really compete with all of the women out there who do use it, along with their pictures from glamour shots taken 10 years ago? Funny how these men don’t notice these things, but I guess they will find out when they actually get to meet these women.
So now that I’m back, I will keep you posted on all of the crazy, fun dating experiences I have on my way to prince charming. Until then, please go back and look at some of my previous posts. You will be amused, entertained and even at times, a bit surprised. I would love it if you would leave comments, and if you sign up to be a follower, you will get notifications when I post my dating blunders.
Aloha, Adios and Goodbye for now.
