it's been a while. i know you all probably assume it's because i started dating an awesome boy who is just way into me and, therefore, am no longer on the virtual (or real life) dating around circuit, and therefore have nothing funny to write about. nope. that's not the case. i have just been focusing on enjoying life. right here and right now....a ski trip...girls nights...trash tv...hiking..oh and i got a new cat...two more years, and three more cats and i will just be content to be the crazy old cat lady. but for tonight, i thought i would leave you all with a bulleted list of some funny things that have happened on the dating site in my absence....

amazing screen names:

*2good2btrue (this WAS a boy, i swear!)
*urprincecharming
*imfun4u
*yknot69 (!!!!!!!!)
*funtime4u
(and my all time favorite) FrEsHpRiNcEoFbIrMiNgHaM (he, by the way, sent me a message which said, "hey. do u mind dating outside of ur race?")


email interactions:

"you must be crazy or something. you are way to (!!!!!) pretty to be on a dating website"

"i saw you looked at my profile. you must be too shy to contact me, so i decided to take the pressure off of you and email you first" (actually, i did look at his profile, and decided not to contact him because he sounded like an arrogant tool bag...funny thing about that first impression...it was pretty accurate)

"what do you like to do?" (i responded with my usual list of fun activities..paint ball, four wheel riding, climbing, hiking, camping etc) "oh. i like girls that like to wear heels and dresses." (oh. well, then, we should probably stop wasting eachothers' time)

"you must have made a type-o on your profile. it says you are 27...there's no way. you must be 21. i hope this is the case because i am 18"

assorted awesomeness:

*one of the dating websites has "long distance pin pals" on the list of options of things you are seeking. (wait, what?!)

*one of the dating websites asks "do you have a car or another mode of transportation" as one of the questions they use to find potential matches from you.

*i got an email from one dating website stating that i had been selected as one of "the more attractive people on the website" and i would now be "matched with more attractive people" (wow. good to know prior to the discovery of my ultimate hotness, i was being matched with uglier people)
