A great blog to check out!

So, my good friend Karyn Bosnak (she's not really my friend, but I have read her books and I read her blog, so I feel like she's my friend) just suggested a blog that is frickin' hilarious! The address is:

www.avoidthisjob.com

It has craig's list job postings that are completely unbelievable. The things that people put in these ads are really funny. So check it out, it will make you LOL!

I need a little help.

So here's the part about online dating that I find difficult. I never really know what to say in the initial message to a guy. I want to say something clever and cute, but I can never seem to think of anything. So it's usually pretty generic, something like Hey, how are you? Did you have a great weekend or have any big plans for the weekend (depending on the day of the week). Then I might say what I did or what my plans are and then I will say to have a great day, talk to you soon. I know it's not the greatest plan in the world, but I also don't want to write a novel, what if he never writes back, then I would have wasted my time. But I also don't want to write a canned message that I send to everyone.

Any thoughts on clever and/or unique ways to send a message to a potential date?

Here's Some More Funny Profiles

Ok, I really can't resist posting these. Of course, they are from the free site, I am beginning to think that Mr. Right is not on the free site. Again, the capitalization and spelling belong to the writer, I had nothing to do with it!

• i would like to consider my self as a easy going person i am not into the bar seen or there is no time...
• well i been online for a couple of weeks now and im learning that im not going to find that speical person with only my looks. So I decided to write alittle about myself and alittle about who I would like to meet. So let me start off by saying ,if you are looking for someone to sweep you off you feet by there writing skills.Im probly not the guy for you.
• I lookin for family women who to care strong morales ,who makes ,me melt evry time .I wont to meet sameone who,s not afraid to love truly.
• Then there's guy with the screen name rikosauve and there's also horneydude

Ok, I think that's enough for now. I really should stop making fun of these guys, it's putting negative energy out in the universe and I don't need that!!

Ok, this might be a bit mean, but it's funny

Here's a few lines from some profiles that I have read, do people know how to proof-read? I have not changed anything, it's exactly how they were written - I swear!!

• i work m-f 12yrs a day like to take a ride on my bike say mom see a movie watch nascar go camping attnd church
• hi i m mark and im a very nice and out going and very sweet and generous and i looking for a nice girl that is...
• i'm sick of the bar scene and all the bs that comes with it i would like to fine someone who's open honest and...
• i'm looking for an angel with a broken wing so i can help her fly again

Seriously, none of these people use capitalization. Is it because people are so used to texting now, that they don't know how to type properly. Or do I just have a hang up about grammar and proper English?

Things that make you go hmmmm....

The free online site is interesting. There is no way to search other than by zip code, so I get quite a few guys that I'm not too interested in. So I'm looking online today and I see this guy "Mrclean" (yes he's bald) and so I flirt with him - which is sending a pre-typed message - mine was "Hey There". Then he flirted back. So I decided to send him an e-mail, just saying something along the lines of Hey, how are you? Then he wrote back, "sorry allergic to cats and no job...lol"

Does this guy really think that he's gonna find himself a woman without a job. Now I know that the economy sucks and all, but maybe he should be taking the time that he is scoping out girls online to be scoping out jobs online? Just a thought. I really don't think that my standards are too high in requesting that a guy has a job, right? I'm not gonna support his ass!

Really?

So I just got a "wink" on the free online site from a guy named huggybear! Really?!?! Does he think that it's cute? In my opinion, it's kinda dumb!

I'm Back! For real this time...

Hello to the 4 or 5 people that read my blog. I am trying to get back into writing and so I am going to try SUPER hard to keep up with my blog on a more regular basis.

So I have decided that I am bored with sitting on the couch being a bum waiting for Prince Charming to stop by. I have decided that I am going to be proactive in my search for Mr. Right. I have joined a couple online dating sites, one that you have to pay for and the other is free and I am also going to join a local Meet Up group for singles. The first event that I am going to attend is next Friday. It's a Happy Hour at a bar that is supposed to have great drinks and appetizers. So we'll see what happens with all of that. I figure that I will have a lot to write about since I will be meeting a lot of guys. Some good and I am sure that there will be some not so good out there.

I will try to also put some interesting not just dating stuff cuz I don't want you to get bored with my social life :)

If anyone has some suggestions as to where I can meet a great guy, let me know. Besides the grocery store, hardware store, those kinds of places. I was thinking about taking a cooking class, because this girl cannot cook, but would there be guys that would take a cooking class? I guess even if I don't meet a guy, I would learn a skill that would help me in meeting a guy. So there's one way to look at it!

Well, I guess that there's not too much else to write about, since I just started. So until next time, which may even be tomorrow!
