I’d love to see you, but…I’ve already seen you!

One of the worst things about being single (again) is going back to the online dating sites. Hours of searching through page after page of the damaged, broken, defective and down right scary hoping to find someone special. My search was coming up empty until I found this profile:

I am secure & happy with myself, but...life is meant for two!! A little bit about myself: I enjoy travel, hiking, kayaking, Comedy Clubs, & celebrating special occasions. I am self-sufficient, independent, honest, I have a great sense of humor, & family & friends are very important to me.

Not bad…This one’s got some potential. Let’s see what she’s looking for in a man:

A man who ONLY has eyes for me & can make me laugh are important qualities! Truth is, I'm just a nice girl who's looking for some fun and companionship (not necessarily in that order). I love guys who can hold me spellbound with a story or make me laugh until I cry. I also love creativity and passion. I'm looking for a man who shares my views on love, family and friends and is ready for all of it to begin with me.

She definitely sounds promising and seems to be looking for someone just like…ME! I’d love to say it could be something, but…it turned out to be less than nothing. It turned out to be MM…the girl who’d love to see me, but…

She also had a list of “criteria” to be met before contacting her. You have to be:

Male
Live in United States
Must not have messaged users looking for intimate encounters or sex.
You must have a picture to contact this user.
Must not be looking for Hang Out
Must not be looking for Talk/E-mail
Must not be looking for Other Relationship
Must not be looking for Intimate Encounter
Must not do drugs
Must not be married
Must not smoke

That’s a pretty detailed list of things she’s not looking for…guess you can add “Must not be Esc” to the list. I was a bit surprised to see she’s “not looking to hang out” since that pretty much describes all we did for the 95 days we were together. I’m not surprised, however, by “not looking for an intimate encounter” as NOTHING ever happened during our 95 days together.

I’ve never had much luck using The Fish so I hope it works out better for MM. Everyone deserves to find someone special. She was wrong for me but she hit the nail on the head….life is meant for two.
