so darn frustrating. I've never had to answer so many questions about myself – I mean I just wanted to view profiles, gawk and see what’s out there. Really, I just wanted to make fun of the men and their profiles. Boy are there plenty of laughs out there – I really wish I could give you the links to some of the ads but in an effort to be nice and fair, I won’t out anyone but you know what I mean. In any case, I decided that while I want to put in some effort, I would just kind of hang back a little and see if the men would come to me. I think I’m a catch so why not. Once I’m into you, I’ll put in the effort but you know, at this time it’s important that I am sought out. So a day or two later, a really cute young (younger than me that is) man “initiates” communication with me. In case you’re not familiar with this service, “initiate communication” really means that this person of interest (POI) a set of 5 multiple choice questions that have 4 answers plus a free response (200 character limit). After reviewing his profile, I decide to respond. Why not? He’s cute, he’s young, and we have similar interests.
We respond to each other's 5 multiple choice questions. Then I send him my “Must Haves/Can’t Stands”, 10 in each category. These are selected from a myriad of choices and they vary from ….Mine for example were, "I must have a partner who is loyal", etc. I send mine off. A few hours later I get his. I’m reading along, making a mental check list, things are looking good…check…check…check…... WHAT? You’ve got to be kidding me. I read and then re-read, “I must have a partner who is saving himself/herself for marriage.” Wow! That was a stunner in this day and age. So I had to “close” this match because if that’s what he’s looking for, he’s not going to get that from me. Man….I think I need to stop checking my account for a few days.
I received a few e-mails about not posting often enough. Sorry. Just so exhausted. I'm back.

OK so being an OLD LADY,, like yoru mom's age,,, I say way to go guy!!!!!!!! sorry I think that is sooo cool. Not that I DID IT but hey it is a good idea and in THAT one area you don't match BUT there are others out there.... look for a what to start over guy.. I so am not judging you I have been there.... glad you are doing the follow ups.
Just a Mom -- I also say way to go. I don't care that he's a virgin at all. I think it's great BUT I do think it is a little unrealistic (especially given my age). I was interested in him but I DID NOT meet one of HIS
"Must Haves"/criteria so I had to end it.
Please, don't put it on me. I'm extremely open minded.
I must say I wasnt't expecting that twist in his Must-Haves!
Glad to see you back.
So this is E-Harmony. Well, they say internet dating is a promising way to meet potential new suitors. I'm glad to see you're being smart about this. I've seen a few young people after a break-up take the next unattached fellow/lady who comes along just to prove themselves love-worthy again. Be choosy but be kind. That's what I say.
I am also surprised that that Must Have! Didn't think that people thought that way anymore these days. But....it just goes to show that there are all sorts of people in the world.
Bummer... Looking forward to reading about the other fish in the sea :)
Ok, so it's been just over a month now... do we get an update? Are you alright?
Uh... by now it's been a long time and I'm just about to give up on you as a blogger. Pls say it ain't so.
Hope you are well.
