Online Dating Schmonline Dating

I really think I’m officially done with online dating. No, seriously, I’m over it. Finished. Finito. Terminado.

I thought it might be an interesting and fun way to pass the time. Maybe I would even find a special someone while I was along for the ride. But after yet another uncomfortable and nearly unbearable wasted hour on a “date” and another unanticipated disappointment from a flake posing as a nice guy (all in the same week), I’m ready for something a little less….stressful.

Here is the straw that broke my back:

The Big “Huh?”

This is the guy I was starting to like. We have had a few really nice dates and had a blast this past Thursday. He even introduced me to all his friends. Because we have been having so much fun and he really seemed to enjoy my company, I asked him if he would go with me to the zoo on Sunday because I had some free passes. At the time he gave an enthusiastic “yes!” This morning however I received a message from him saying he is now going surfing with his friends in Huntington, so I should probably take a friend instead. Huh? Nothing like being told “something better came up.” This guy has been nothing but respectful and reliable. Yet this action was really....retarded.

So what’s next? I’m off the online scene for a bit. Going to finish up some meetings with a few others I found on there and focus again on myself. Have a big trip coming up. Maybe I’ll find Mr. Right while I’m there. :-)

Back in the Game

I’m back!!!!


Yes I’m all healed up and back on the journey of working out like a maniac and trying to lose those last few inches. Summer’s coming, what can I say?

Belly dancing on Monday was a total blast! I can’t believe how good I’m getting already with only three classes under my belt. During class the teacher kept dancing right next to me and speeding up the routine. Not to be outdone even by the instructor, my hips took over my body and kept right in line with her, shimmying and shaking like there was no tomorrow. And it felt great! We looked like pro team competing for a prize. Alright, I exaggerate, but it looked pretty damn hot. If I keep this up I’ll be performing in no time. Videos of next class, I promise!

Although….no Monday night class next week so I’m thinking of taking one at a different studio. Expand the horizons a bit. I hear Champion Ballroom is pretty good….and Mary Murphy of So You Think You Can Dance owns that one….

On a side note, heading on a third date tonight with one of my online dating beaus. Wearing a hot little black tube dress. Let’s see if those belly dance classes are having a positive effect on my waistline…:-)
