2nd try...

Posted my pic, got through the essay portion alright, now what?  Maybe I'll do a quick search to see what's out there.  Hmm, what do I want?  Can I search for tall, gorgeous, rich, and adores me?  Ok, search around my age, around my height (I'm pretty tall), and around my general location.  Wow, there's a surprising number of men!  Imagine that!  Looking through the pics, there's a FEW that look interesting.  Hmm, there's one looking for his 3rd wife (as in 3 at a time!), YIKES!   A few that are way too old, and way to fat to be thinking they are God's gift to women!  Maybe I'll read a few other essays.

So, I can send a "flirt" or a "smile" those are cutesy little "Hey, you're HOT!" type of messages.  I can send a card, lots of choices there.  I can send an "I'm interested in you," whatever that means.  I can send an email.  I'm not so sure I want to send anything!!  Maybe I'll just wait and see if anyone likes me, yeah, that's what I'll do!

Oh great, there's something called views.  I have a bunch of "views" and I can see who has "viewed" my profile!  That means they can see if I viewed their profile!  Great, I looked at a bunch of 20-something hotties, I was just looking!  I promise!  Now they're going to thing I'm some kind of sicko!!  I think I'll stay offline for a while!

You want me to WHAT??

I've been divorced a few years now. I finally feel like maybe I could put my toe in the water and date a little bit. I'm not bad looking. I'm fun, at least my kids think I am. Why not start dating? My cute little 30 something friends introduce me to the excitement of online dating! Wow, I think at first glance, this is going to be fun! Just like the good old days in high school and college. I could use some adult fun. Wouldn't it be nice to have a conversation with someone who's interested in more than "What's for dinner?" or "Where's my homework?"

I find a dating site that looks good. I'm a religious person, so I go with one geared towards my religion. They want me to post a recent picture? Really? Can't I just post one from high school? Okay, okay, I ask my 14 yr. old daughter to take a pic. Eww, is that really me? Wait, let me change, and put on more makeup, then take another one. Eww, is there something wrong with this camera? This can not be me! Oh well, I'll pick the least ugly one. Now they want a description, hmm, what's my body-type? Slender? No, not for years. Washboard? Oh, come on! Athletic? Well, Charles Barkley is athletic, right? Sumo wrestlers are athletic. Ok, not athletic either. Average? Well, I suppose. Need to lose a few? Oh please, what woman wouldn't say she needs to lose a few? Large but muscular? I don't care if I am, I'm not answering with that one! Full-figured? Well, yes, but I'l not saying that either! I'll tell you later? I want to answer that one, but what point is there, it translates into FAT! Now they want me to write an essay, tell about who I am. Oh boy, I am an old woman, who's trying to get on with my life after being in hell with my ex husband for the last 18 years. I'm overweight, I'm tired, I have no self-esteem left, please, please, date me!

Maybe I'll try this again tomorrow!
