Awww, what a nice thing to say GL. I’m not sure I want to date again, at least not at this time. But I’ve heard the horror stories of the stacked coffee shop dates (every 15 minutes!?), the emails you need to respond to, and of meeting someone who totally doesn’t look like their photos. It sounds like a full time job and I’m frankly not in the head space for that. I’m a no fuss, or drama girl. Plus I’m very impatient, lol.
But it’s good to know that eH has your ringing endorsement GL!
Hello Lovelies,
Sometimes I just get so exhausted. I’m having some back issues, so I slept a lot today, did some lite housework, and then DH and I went to dinner. The day flew by, and I really didn’t get that much done!!! Just check my Fitbit app—> 1707 for today [emoji17][emoji17]. You know in science experiments, there’s the control. I volunteer to be the control—then anyone who has over 2,000 steps a day will be a high roller, lol, or high stepper. Weather report from Dallas—still rainy, but less than yesterday.
Having lived in LA for over 10 years, I can personally attest that dating in LA is hard (for many reasons), and in the past I had taken many breaks from dating because I couldn’t deal with the scene. So I totally understand what you’re saying and can relate 100%.
When I first started online dating (with Match), I wanted to do coffee dates because in the back of my head, I felt like I could easily escape if the date was terrible. It’s just coffee, right? If it’s bad, I’ll be a decent human and stick around for 15-20 mins and then split. At some point, my neighbor and friend who is a life
coach, told me that I NEED TO STOP going on coffee dates if I’m serious about a long term relationship. He told me that guys who are serious and worth my time will be more than happy to take me out to dinner. I know this sounds like such a romantic comedy twist, but the quality of guys did shoot up at least 50% once I started having dinners instead of coffee.
As for meeting people not looking like their pics—been there and done that, lol. As long as you’re meeting people in public and being safe, these “do-not-look-like their pics” people make great stories at parties. It really helps if you bring visuals (online pic vs IRL)—they provide hours of entertainment for my friends.
From your mod shots and our conversations, I feel like you’re living your best life. So keep on doing you, and when you’re ready for a partner, you might want to give eHarmony a try.
