Ah, what a Friday night.
First, I am reminded why I took myself off of Match.com at the beginning of the year, right around the time I met Coach. I’m not saying I’d never-ever-ever do it again, because God knows it’s hard enough to meet people and I’ve met some interesting and normal people that way, [...]
Well, I knew I couldn’t avoid this question forever — you know, seeing that February is the month of LOVE (and Black History month, Groundhog Day, President’s Day, the Oscars, my car registration renewal, tax preparation time…). But it’s only fair that I tell you what happened after dazzling you and the millions who read [...]
Well, it appears Chemistry is out of chemistry for me; they’ve exhausted their inventory of eligible men who meet my criteria — and those who don’t. I mean, if I see one more “match” with a 40-something guy who lives with his parents, or who wants to meet a “pretty country girl,” I’m gonna lose [...]
Remember the response I got from the guy on the online dating site who finally contacted me – with another email address at which to contact him? Well, late last week he responded to my chipper “hello, how are you” note at his preferred his email address with this:
Hi Susan. Thanks for the note. Just [...]
I thought I’d give you a quick update on my current round of online dating. In summary: it has been painfully boring. Actually, it hasn’t been painful at all because, having an analytical side (and being an online dating veteran), I’ve been looking at the matchmaking process and results with an odd detachment like a [...]
I’ve been on the dating scene for a few years now and have tried various ways of meeting people: set-ups by friends, speed dating, joining a singles volunteering organization (now defunct), stalking men in Lowe’s, and online dating. I’ve tried various online dating sites in this time: Match, eharmony, Chemistry, SingleParentsMeet, GreatBoyfriends. I’m not here [...]
Or “How I Accidentally Signed Up for Online Dating - What a Trip!”
So back in early October a friend of mine was checking out my recent blog posts and wrote to me saying he was concerned that my writing made it seem that I was unhappy and adrift in my life, that one would construe [...]
Friends, I know I’ve been a bad blogger these last few days; frankly, I’ve been overwhelmed with the more mundane aspects of life, and especially in dealing with Drama Girl’s sleep-deprived antics and meltdowns. She slept better the last few days, but continued to whine, sob, become non-communicative, and droop around like T-Rex’ T-Rex. (Remember him? He’s still on [...]
Of course not. We’re divorced. [Ba-dum-bum. You can catch Susan at her next show at 11.]
This, as you might guess, is a follow-up post to my reflections on eHarmony. Just want to clear up one thing…well, two things:
1) I am not poking fun at the folks who, over the years, have suggested eHarmony as an [...]
It’s Friday night here at OWS - a night of peace and quiet and reflection, since the kids are with The Ex. I’m relaxed. I’ve had (cheap) wine with cheese and crackers (out of the box). And I’m not feeling one iota of guilt about being without my children.
“Wait!” you say. “It’s almost Mother’s Day. [...]
