Mr. I Don't Know What I Want

Honey, If you don't know what you want, I certainly don't know what you want.

Mr. I-Don't-Know-What-I-Want is on multiple dating websites.

His profile is a portrait of self-hatred and negativity.

One of the first questions I asked him was "Why are you on dating sites, if you're not looking for a date?'

He launches into this long self-loathing tirade about how his ex took him for everything and now he's living on his brother's couch. Trying to dig himself out of debt and he never imagined in a million years that women would actually contact him on a dating site.

Really?

Again...why are you here?

And again he goes into how he doesn't feel like he has anything to offer anyone in a relationship. How it's just him and his cats. (yes, multiple cats), how he hates his mother...but does stuff for her out of respect and how the women on his job think they know him...but they really don't.

This is a dating site...not a therapy session.

Too bad...he was kinda cute and amusing.

Life Imitates Art

I was watching an episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' where Raj and Stuart were trying out online dating. It hit home....really hard. They were commenting to each other how their respective profiles had gotten 100's of page views, but no responses.

Yeah, boys...I feel your pain.

I mean it wouldn't be so bad. If there was maybe one or two responses. But to see the page views and know that no one is saying anything...geeze...that's hard.

One of my friends joined OkCupid a few months ago. She was not only bombarded with page views...she had multiple responses. It was insane. She felt so overwhelmed that she took her profile down after about two weeks.

What is it about me ?
It doesn't matter if it's online or in person. Men typically ignore me. All. The. Time.
I keep asking myself why am I even trying.
I guess I'm just hopeful that somewhere in this sea of people, there's one made just for me.

Mommy Needs A Date

My name is S.A.M., because it doesn't really matter what my name is or who I am. Soo...let me tell you a little about me. I'm 40 years old. I am the adoptive mother of 4 children, ages 19, 18, 15 and 15.

I've spent my entire lifetime (or at least it feels like it) raising children or taking care of everyone's needs but my own.

Now that the children are older and don't need me as much...I'm looking for a mate. A wonderful person to spend the rest of my life with. This task is harder than it would appear. So I invite you to join me on this adventure. It's already been a hell of a ride. It has to get easier...right....right ?

Love Always,
S.A.M.
