Some thoughts

Hey all….
Updates….

Counting down days until I'm home in Kansas City for the jewish holiday, and looking forward to some VERY much needed R&R and to see family [and of course my favorite man ever, Lou Moses…aka grandpa]

As far as the dating pool goes, things are pretty quiet on the home front.  I'm on edge about this ''blind'' date [okay so we've seen a picture of each other but really common, pictures are hard to go by, so I'm calling it a blind date!]
I laugh at the thought of this, but for those who do not know, my parents were set up on a blind date--my dad was in Kansas City for a wedding and they were set up while he was in town.  Here's the funny thing…as leary and nervous as I am about this date, I laugh at the memory of my mom telling me how she didn't really want to go on the date and wanted to back out--strange enough--I won't lie…I've had the same thoughts.

BUT!

I am going to go and just enjoy meeting someone new, and who knows, maybe this is what was meant to happen--being set up on a date, rather than the lackluster men through dating sites. No news yet on the when or what, but rest assure there will be a post once more details emerge again.


Last little blurb--why is it that old flames come back into the light during certain times? [like this, when you are about to meet someone new]……Also, this old flame has just confirmed that some men [even at 36 years old] are just MANchildren and can't figure out how to be an adult and how to deal with adult situations.

Until next time! xoxo

Updates…and being set up

So….my Jdate subscription is officially up--and the last few days of checking in on it didn't disappoint with the funny, the old men, and the surprisingly awesome--yet oddly timed meeting of someone cool.*

**note….COOL….so far so good….not holding my breath PLUS this person doesn't live in Chicago [sigh…yet again another seemingly good one who isn't nearby] BUT that doesn't mean anything--A little background, this person had viewed my profile in the same manner [I was later told by him] that I had done years back regarding the military guy] Where you just were going to expand the search because ''hey, my paid time is up on here and I haven't really met anyone nearby…yadda yadda yadda.''
So anyway--we are both currently no longer on Jdate, our subscriptions ran up around the same time--but funny enough we had enough time to view each others profiles and get an email or two in before exchanging regular email addresses and just recently--phone numbers.  Again…so far so good with conversation for a start, we shall see how this progresses. Updates will happen.


Next….I am being set up by my client with someone she works with. NO MOM I WILL NOT TELL YOU ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS [love you though]
VEEEEERY interesting….looking forward to it----check back for posts with updates on this [and plan for them to be very elusive since the jewish mother reads too. [again, mom….i say it very lovingly :)]


Happy St. Patrick's Day [tomorrow]

xoxo

STILL?!

So even though I have ended my time on Jdate, I was just curious if I could browse the site still and low and behold I could still log on into my account…[it's just got like 3 days left before it's officially gone] so I cleared up the emails and views that I had on there, and you'll never guess…..

Okay, you might already know…..if you've read past posts….



MOST OF THE VIEWS ON MY PROFILE WERE MEN AROUND THE AGE OF 45!!!!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY…



that is all.

Grow Up…an open letter...

An open letter to men….


Dear Men,


If you are one of the ones who thinks it's okay to ask a question to a woman you JUST started talking to that you THINK might be a stupid question, or a question that a 15 year old boy would think up [since teenage boys…hell…MEN only tend to have one thing on their mind…] don't ask the question. 


It's like you forget how to be a gentleman, and you are obviously on a dating site for a reason.  How many women are you going to get when you talk to her like a teenage boy going through puberty?!


When you are using a dating site, app, friends….etc…to go on dates, please don't ask questions that are asinine.*


Also, if you aren't looking for a date/relationship/partner, and you are looking for a one night stand, or [mom cover your eyes] a fuck buddy--go pick up some floozy at a bar.  


Sorry to the men who great, passionate, and know how to speak to a woman [regardless of how long they've known the person] because these other guys sure make the male gender look bad.


Thank you,
Single women everywhere

Oh, PS. When you are casually dating, or you go on a few dates with someone and it just doesn't seem to be working out….MAN UP and say in a polite way that it isn't going to work. I promise most of us women would rather hear that than have a guy just go AWOL and give you the silent treatment.   I've never understood that…


*Asinine [adj.] extremely stupid or foolish [ASS-i-nine]
