June 17th - June 18th, 2009
He replies back. He is available this weekend. In fact, let's go for Saturday morning. He wants to go to the Farmers Market.
Ahh, our farmers market is not exciting. At least it has not been the last few times I have gone. Rather small and boring are the nicest thing I can say about it.
I sent a chat message to my girlfriends ... should I go? Should I offer another suggestion? They all tell me to go, if it sucks then we can laugh at how much it sucks.
I email him back, Farmers Market it is. Saturday AM on June 20th. I tell him I want breakfast thrown in too.
He replies back. Breakfast will be throw in too. 9:00.
I reply back. 9:30. I need to hit the gym before the date (this is my normal Saturday AM thing, I'm not doing it for the date).
He replies back. Deal. 9:30.
I email him. What is your full name and phone number? Oh! And what is your real email address? I think we need to move past the match email system.
He replies back. I have his name, phone number and his email. Ahhh, crap! He has GMail too! This could be a good thing ... or bad. I google him. I find nothing but his Linkedin profile. He has a good job history. He works for the "Evil Blue Empire". My competition for work! HA! We are in the same industry. Verrrrrry interesting!
I forward his email to Sasha and Melissa B that gives his email address, full name and phone number. I tell them I have a date and I have never meet the guy before. If I show up missing, he did it!

it's almost a done deal
June 16th, 2009
What is wrong with him I asked.
His answer?
Hmm ... faults-o-mine ... I'm a driven and ambitious man that has taken his time to do what he believed to be the right thing for those around him. And to be exceptionally vague, that has been my story.
He nailed it. That was vague! Driven and ambitious??? Wow, what a turn on!
His 5 random things:
1. I have a wide toe box.
2. I finally understand my mom's song bird fascination.
3. I built an arbor for my balcony about a month ago, which totally rocks!
4. I don't own a TV
5. Yes, I can afford a TV
Hmmmmm. Super cool about building an arbor. In fact a man that can use his hands is super sexy to me. It shows strength, skill and smarts. I like! He doesn't own a TV? What the heck is that about?
This dude is odd! He talks about his toe box. haha! Who does that?! His writing style is the best I have ever seen in the online dating game. He seems educated. He seems witty. He is funny. He goes off on tangents. My kind of man.
I wanna play his game.
I email him back and ask when he is available for dates. I question his lack of TV.
I await his response back for when he is available for our first date.

don't mock buffy!
June 11th, 2009
Late in the evening after I finish my homework I check my email. He wrote back.
I smile before I opened the email. I can see his wit while I am reading his reply! He tells me he would love to meet me this weekend but he can't for his mom says he has to stay home. He was kidding of course. He was flying back home for the weekend to visit his parents and friends. He suggests we get together for some coffee and Buffy the Vampire Slayer later next week. 'Cause, that show rocked!!!
Ok now, in my profile I wrote that I LOVED Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I LOVED IT! I mean, who doesn't? If he was being sarcastic I was going to make him suffer through Buffy if he dared to mock her awesomeness. If he was being serious I would have a night of bliss. Win win on my end!
I wrote him back and told him to be safe on his trip. I also asked him what was wrong with him. He is 36, never been married, no children, athletic body, witty, has a great ass and very well educated. Maybe that is it, he must be a dork. Or is he socially inept? Does he not believe in pre-marital sex? Pish posh! Every man wants pre-marital sex! Hmmm. What is wrong with him? Where is his baggage? I'm intrigued.
I need to remember he does not want to do small talk with email or phone calls. He wants to meet the other right away to see if anything clicks. I do not know if I am game. It is kind of scary.

this profile is a riot!
June 11th, 2009
I'm taking y'all back to the beginning.
With match, you get an email every 4-5 days with possible matches. I received an email and there is one picture that caught my eye. I click on it and it took me to his profile.
It is one of the most well written and hysterical profiles I have ever read. It's a pure ramble of thoughts that seem random but really they come together. Two key things stand out:
So what? Well, it is something he told the system he wants .... what do I do???
I send him an email that says "You have one of the funniest profiles I have ever read. I want you to know I give you a standing 'O' in this corner. Bravo! Bravo!"
While I wait for a response I check out the rest of his profile. He has been online lately and he has a great ass.
I hope he replies.

- One - he says he does not do email or phone calls, he does face to face meetings
- Two - he shoots off his favorite recipe that he wants "the one" to make for him. It gives details on how to chop, what pan to use, which brands to buy, etc
So what? Well, it is something he told the system he wants .... what do I do???

There is this boy. I call him a boy but he is really a man. I think.
He is 26. Ahhh! That sounds so young!
He is cute. No, he is a very good looking man. I would even venture and say he is hot. Very easy on the eyes.
We meet off of match and he lives in the big city an hour away. He works about 30 minutes away. However his mother lives in my town and he comes to visit her often.
We like each other. He makes me feel like a school girl. We have not gone on a date yet but we are scheduling one.
It's fitting because he is leaving in the fall to move to Michigan. Now why would that be? He is going back to school to complete his Masters.
He is smart, he has traveled, he speaks French fluently (swoon!), he loves him momma!
But he is leaving.
Awwww.
I do not have a nickname for him now.

Here I am here!! Did you miss me?
Joe Schmo & Soccer Star.
Not too great matches here.
Joe Schmo is an old pro with Internet dating. I guess I am too?? I "met" him online 2 years ago. Same time when Mr Hottie came into the picture. Well Joe & I talked on the phone and it never went anywhere. It was blah blah blah. Nothing exciting.
Fast forward 2 years to now. He sees me on match and sends an email saying all these nice things. I can tell he read my about me. He was paying attention. However I could tell he had no memory of me. Dude, that is not cool. I called him out on that. He laughed and said he thought I looked familiar. He wanted to get together. But you see, I remembered how BLAH it was with him so I said no and I said why. In a nice way. I hope.
Soccer Star!!! Oh poor SS. He tried. Everything I was looking for he did not have. But he tried. He was a pessimist. I told him I needed an optimist. He said he could change! He was still angry with his X. I told him I needed one who was "over it". He said he was (a day after he said he wasn't). SS did not want anymore kids. I said I did. He said we could try. I said bye-bye.

Did you know it is hard to come up with a nick name for people?
Well I am here to tell you. It is!
We have, ahem, in order of appearance:
Dr PB
Not Matt Damon AKA Stud AKA what the hell do I call this man?
Soccer Star
Dreamer
Joe Schmo
As you hopefully can tell, some of these nick names will not stick. I will write more about them in the next couple of days.
Day 1 I was talking to all of these men. Day 2 when I was to email all of my other favorites my life decided to change and I was not able to email them. I will get to them! I will, I will!!!
So how did my life change, you ask. And if you didn't, same on you, you should have! Well, I have decided to go back to school. Due to this I have been researching schools, pre-reqs and "what the hell do I wanna do with my life". Stay tuned on that topic too!
However I am emailing these guys plus many others. I ALWAYS say "tell me 5 random things". Can you imagine the responses I get?
How about these gems: (all original spellings, I copied & pasted here)
fav position is doggie style so I can see yas ass
dick is 7 does that make ya druel?
I don't have time to tell you 5 random things, what are yours
a spoon, a pencil, a penny, a toothbrush, and a key
ur hot
i live with my parents in the basement
My mother is always bugging me to get married.
How about them apples?! haha!!

over the rainbow
May 11th, 2009
Damn itchiness. I want to call him. BAD. It's around Noon and I'm at work.
The urge is so strong. Itch, itch. I just ... ahhh ... I just NEED to call him. Or email him. Or text him.
Instead I get some ice cream.
And I signed up for Match. Three months. After 3 months I will switch to eHarmony if needed.
I am digging this game plan.
During the evening after my little girl is sound asleep I sit and think on the couch. I have my laptop in my lap. I think the pity party did me good. I write another email of everything that annoyed me about him. He said on Thursday he would write me soon. It's Monday night. No email. I cried some more. This time I really did let go. Instead of just saying it, I believe it.
We are over. It's over. He is not coming back. I'm not waiting. I did not send the email. I save it in my drafts. I feel better after the cry. I feel confident. I feel powerful. I feel strong. I feel this is the next stage and I am ready.
I do recover quickly. Remember?
I jump on match. My profile is complete. My pictures are up. I have winks. I have emails. I have men that have favorited me. All within 8 hours!
I wink back to 3. I email 10. I favorite a whole bunch. Ones that I will email tomorrow.
So far, I have had several emails with 3 men. No nick names yet. However I am flirting. I am laughing.
I was even called "stunning!!". HE is a keeper for now!!

pity party ROCKS take II
May 9th, 2009
I'm mopey. Today is to be my last day of being sad. Tonight is the pity party and after that ... I'm done. Hands washed.
But this is before the pity party. And I feel pity. I sit on the couch and mope.
Ya, that lasted for the morning then I was bored with being mopey. Off to the gym I go! And boy of boy did I have a work out!! I was proud of myself. I even ran for 40 minutes which is a doozie for me. Before that I have never gone longer than 30.
I get back to the house. I mow, I clean. I take a shower. I clean some more. I order the pizza. It's time to start the pity party!
My attendees are Melissa S, Sasha, Lindsey and Carrie. Sasha, bless her sweet heart, brought alcohol.
Oh we laugh! Oh we laugh! We had tears of laughter. We analyzed Melissa S & Carrie's life. Sasha & Linds did not share problems. What is WRONG with you two?? I want the dish! :) Then we analyzed Mr Big Man.
They told me everything I already knew. I did not cry for I must have got all that out this morning.
We look at Plenty of Fish and search for suitable men. We decided I would pay for Match.com. We looked on there and picked out men for me to email. The theory right now is to aim for a younger man. The last 2 were older. With my sex drive I need a young stud!!
Hey! I am game!
I promised I would not text him again. I promised I would not email him again.
It's over. I am not desperate. I will find something better.
Yes, I will.
PS He has not written back to the first or third email.
