Happy Almost Holidays!

Hello to my three readers! A little radio silence, due in part to an ever-growing rehearsal schedule (shameless plug: check out my next two shows at http://www.landlesstheatrecompany.org), the holidays, and not a lot of activity on the online dating front. Here are some updates/thoughts:

1. I've been emailing with D for several weeks now. He's older (40) and because I'm trying very hard to broaden my horizons, I figured I would expand my acceptable age. I tend to date my age or below. I love the jailbait! Anyway, he seems to have a good job, live in DC and does photography for a hobby. The problem is that between our schedules and then the holiday, we haven't even talked on the phone yet. I hate these online things that go on forever without a meeting - I like it quick and dirty so that we can decide if we are interested in going further without any extra back and forth. So, hopefully we can connect soon.

2. I just got matched with someone on eHarmony that is from Brambleton, VA. Where is that, you ask? Well, I had to Google Map it - it's near NORFOLK. That is certainly not within my 30-mile radius that I specified. Also, within this recent batch of matches, THREE of them had children. I'm not sure if the pickings are slim, but that is also another FAIL on the part of eH.

3. I'm about to do a first - close someone who I've almost made it through the laborious communcation process. His answers to my short answer questions really indicate someone who is depressed. He called himself a spinster AND a recluse in three sentences. Those are some red flags to me. Or, at the very least, someone who is not for me - I don't deal well with the self-deprecating folk. Plus, he lives fairly far away.

That's about it for now. Let's hope I can eek out a date in December. Laters!

1. Younger boys are dumb and act like... well, boys. Go for the older guy.

2. My sister and her husband met on eHarmony. Don't give up on it.

3. RUN AWAY.

Yay Joe! I'm so glad someone is reading this. :)

1. You are very right. :)

2. I won't - it'll be slow through the holidays, I bet.

3. Don't worry - totally deleted.

Yeah, nix on Mr. Gloom and Doom. And you really should check out the older guys. Not TOO much older but most have them have gotten the BS out of their system and are ready for a relationship. Good luck!
