9 1/2 Months

No, I'm not starring in a scandalous film with Mickey Roarke nor having a baby (I'm not sure which one would be worse at this point...) - but that's about the time I've been back in the dating scene. After my Rat Bastard of An Ex-Boyfriend (Rat Bastard or just RB, because I'm lazy) dumped my ass in what I think was the crappiest way possible (more about that in later posts), I took some time to re-focus (read: get back to the gym and stop wallowing) and figured I was ready about 9 months or so ago.

I have a lifetime subscription to the online dating sight Chemistry (Match.com's version of eHarmony). No that's not a typo - lifetime subscription. I have a sort of weird habit to sign up for things - I seriously have a million shopping club cards - so I signed up for Chemistry for free right when it first started. Fast forward a few months when I met RB - I called the company to cancel my account. This is when I discovered that because I had signed up in the first few weeks of the site, I was now grandfathered in for LIFE. I seriously hope I'm not online dating when I'm 60 - but at least I know that I won't have to use my social security check to pay for it.

I also just rejoined eHarmony. They were having a deal and (see above), I'm a sucker for a deal. So I think the combination of the two sites will give me enough of a dating pool to at least entertain my 5 followers with funny stories.

I also haven't lost the hope that I may meet someone organically (i.e. not online) - though I haven't been lucky in that arena for a while.

We'll see - glad to have you along for the ride!
