Days gone past..

HELLO EVERYBODY!

I'm back!

It's been a while hasn't it? Well, a lot has been happening, so I'll make some quick updates here.

Updates:
1) Went to the Backstreet Boys contest in Austin. I love Austin! I love the Backstreet Boys!
2) I've started trying online dating again.  Which is more like online profile viewing.  Not so exciting.  More on that below.
3) I was told I am pre-diabetic after being mysteriously ill for the better part of a week. New diet, new life.
4) I got sick again shortly afterwards. I'm better now.
5) I finally changed my bank card ID picture! (See below)

Like a fine wine, I get better with age.

So I'm trying online dating. I say trying, but really it's more like failing.

So I'm on two dating sites, one of them I pay for and the other I don't.  You probably know which they are, one of them references the abundance of sea life and the other rhymes with catch. 

Let's start with the paid one.  Look, I keep it real for myself, I don't consider myself a ten, but I am a funny and cute girl.  But it seems the male subscribers to this site require the girls to be tens.  I am not perfect and I struggled to land myself on the description of full-figured being that I am not an average sized girl. (Like I said, I keep it real.) But I have to get radio silence from these guys? All the time? Ok, yeah I went on a date with one guy but all he wanted was to sleep with me. 

On the flip side, the guys are mostly toned and athletic.  But do I really want that? No, I like somebody who's average and does exercise but doesn't require me to be Cross-Fit Certified.  Maybe I'm just unrealistic.  And also, I'm going to say I have done my fair share of rejections. 

Ok, so on to the free dating sight.  Let me just start with this: 

Yeah, that pretty much covers it.  Let me go through the two guys I talked with on that site recently.  Neither of which were keepers for different reasons. The first guy, photographer guy, was nice.  He wasn't a conventionally good looking dude, but he wrote very well (if you do online dating you know what I mean), eloquent, intelligent, passionate and interesting.  I loved talking to him and he was very complimentary and charming and made me feel sexy and cute.  I had so much fun flirting with him until well the focus moved from us getting to know each other to him getting to know my body. 

*sigh*

Around the same time I started talking to sales guy.  My first impressions were: I'd never have messaged this guy, he was too skinny, wore hats in all his pics (possibly balding and I hate when people hide things), wore a plain white tee like it was his signature style and looked like my former martial arts instructor.  Just in case you're not sure, all of these are bad things. Nevertheless, I did reply when he messaged me. Afterwards, I felt like he was a bit boring but at least he didn't objectify me like photographer guy.  

I gave them both my number and only sales guy texted back.  It was pretty intense I guess, we texted regularly multiple times a day every day for 2 weeks.  I began to like him, he seemed nice and we had some things in common.  It was great, until he didn't text back at all. One day to the next, nothing.  And this occurred on the day before our first date.  Yeah, the big loser just stopped texting me and that was it. No lame excuse, nothing. That was just mean! On the plus side, I didn't have to tolerate the sight of his weird looking face and his pleated pants. Thank ye Gods!

Thank you Jesus!

Bottom line, it's not the sites fault per-se, so much as it's my expectations. But still! I want to get a boyfriend to make out with! And I want him to be smart, cute, funny, charming, and with a good job.  Is that too much to ask?

*DEEP SIGH*

Apparently so...

Now I'm going to go and stalk hot guys on these sites,

Check you later!
