My usual as the end for 2008

Uhhuh...okay.

Hey I gre up as the fat kid, would I really be that shallow?

Of course you would NOT be that shallow!  *I* know that - HE was taking a gamble.  You don't know what ****** up experiences he had in the past with women regarding his limp - based on that, he could have decided to not bring it up..... you never know.  Just give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't trying to be shady by not bringing it up, that's all I'm saying.  

Because of my face thing - I'm a lil sensitive to folks with visible defects - I was just speakin out on the flip side of the situation - but then again, I don't know homie from a can of paint - he coulda been deliberately shady.................

My BFF likens dating to flea market shopping:  you gotta sift through a bunch of riff raff to fine a true gem... and that's true.  The question is, do you have the patience for it or not?  This was her question to me... and now I pose it you.

Happy Hunting in the '09!

Sorry your date sucked--first dates are a crapshoot.  On the bright side keep him around for emergencies.  He can always guarantee you an upfront parking spot and good seats at concerts. 

Thank you for seeing the humor in the situation.  I don't know if the wine had me coming across all melancholy or what, but really I'm not searching for my soul mate or very desperate.  I just think you gotta put yourself out there.

Michelle,

I sooo feel you. I really do, if you look at my blog archive we have identical tales.... I was a serial internet dater for almost 3 yrs. I had good times and not so good times. And I'm not gonna lie, I've even fallen in "love" over the phone/web . I am witness to so many success stories via the web, and I'm also a living testimony to a couple of disasters. I say this to say, I understand your frustration. Girl I had to leave those sites ALONE. I personally feel as if they breed deception, its only my opinion though. Take a break, but keep the faith. I'm so in love today, and he doesnt even know how to turn on the PC. And if nothing else, ya gotta see the humor. Girl I am curious what did he pick up with his fingers?
