An Introduction

I have been a single fish in the big blue sea for just over five years now. I’ve tried meeting men in bars, at singles mingles, dance classes, and have even created online dating profiles with two different sites. Through all of these endeavors I have acquired several interactions with men who, unfortunately, fell short of what I am looking for. These stories can not be kept to oneself and thus have been told and retold to all of my friends and every new friend that joins our circle. My friends have been telling me for awhile now that I need to write a book or document these stories in some way so that they can be shared with others and so that we can all return to them whenever we are in need of a good laugh.

Some of these tales are old, some are from yesterday, some are long, some are short, and some aren’t about men in particular but are conversations between the ladies! I’ll write them all as they come to me…

Match.com

Alright so I took your advice and joined match.com back in late June. Here is what I have found so far:
  • The number of emails that I get is much fewer than on plenty of fish or okaycupid. (although the messages seem to be a little better)
  • I'm actually a little more successful if I email guys first. Which is fine but means investing more time finding people.
  • Winking is useless, I've never had someone message me after a wink
  • I have been winked at by atleast three men over 50 (gross) and very few other men
  • I would agree that men appear to be looking for something more serious
  • The "Stir Events" feature that inspired me to join is not actually available in Seattle. It is only available in 31 cities nation wide. 
  • It deletes your received emails, favorites, and winks every 30 days. Which kinda sucks.
  • And the question you really want answered... How many dates? I have met three guys from match so far. 
    • The first: I saw him for about a month but there just wasn't that spark, chemistry, romantic interest (whatever you wanna call it)
    • The second: I went on a first date with a guy and it was clear that neither of us really had any interest in the other
    • The third: The third guy I also went out with for about a month, 5-6 dates I think. I really thought it was turning into something great when it suddenly got totally fucked up. Ooops...
Well that's it so far. I'll let you know how Mr. Number 4 goes.
