NJB's status changed between last week ("Single") and today ("Engaged"). Now I guess I know why he broke his promise to call.

He could have told me; I liked him but certainly not enough to kill myself over him.

Do ALL guys lie? or am I just a magnet for all the liars to come to me and then the other women are safe?

What a coward. I told him how Sean proposed and then stopped calling, how it was over two years until I'd go on a date again (with the NJB). INSTEAD I waited every time he said he'd call and didn't even try to meet someone else over the holidays. Why do I only meet players; why can't I meet a NICE man?

I'd rather be single than with a dreykop.

When you're in the "market" for someone new to date, whether you don't feel like waiting for Destiny or whether you're helping Destiny along, you - I would expect - look for someone who has something in common with you. Women who enjoy exercise might join a softball team or go to a gym; men who love shopping (they do exist!) might spend time at the mall or at a book store. If you like computers, you may want to look online; I've said for years that, right off the bat, I've got something in common with a potential partner who's looking online.

I've been online for over fifteen years, and I've met some of the best - and the worst - dates of my life online. I've learned that some of the smartest (and even the most computer-savvy!) people don't know what we should expect from singles web sites, Even for those of us who've tried more than one of them, word-of-mouth from our friends is NOT enough; we're not all looking for the exact same person. (This is real life, not afternoon television...)



Why didn't someone think of this sooner!?
