On-line dating is certainly an adventure! I was checking something the guy from CO had written on his profile and noticed that he now lives in Nashville, TN. When I ask him about that he brushed me off and said he had no idea how that happened. Doesn’t seem to understand why my guard is way up. Thinking it is time to end this conversation with him. Maybe he was hacked but I take it as a sign from the Universe to stop this before it goes any further.
Had a nice message from a “normal” sounding guy from KS. In it he sent his private email address and ask that I respond to that. I choose to respond via Match.com messenger instead. When I checked to see if I had a response I found he blocked me. Not sure if he didn’t like something I wrote or if it was a scam to get my email address.
On-line dating is not for the faint of heart. Not sure if I will continue looking on-line or not. Getting the feeling I am wasting my time. How does one know if someone is for real? It is good practice getting rejected – remembering not to take it personal and understanding it is all part of the process.
I’m glad I am comfortable being alone and really OK if this doesn’t work out. Desperation could lead you into trouble with on-line dating!
I decided not to go to KC today as it is to rain much of the day. I don’t like driving in the city anyways and rain makes it even harder. Nothing I needed that couldn’t wait for a dry day next week. I will go to Emporia for some groceries either today or tomorrow instead.
Enjoying an empty space type of day at home. I kinda expect that my guys will be coming in early today due to the rain. They aren’t allowed to work when it is raining out – something about electricity and water not mixing well together. The wife of one of them is here this week. She had to work in Manhattan today. She was trusting that she could get to the store where she is to work. Manhattan has lots of flooding going on due to receiving over 8 inches of rain over the weekend. We didn’t get but a few sprinkles. Not much in the rain gauge yet today either.
I am messed up with the days of the week due to the holiday Monday. I worked all weekend and Monday so didn’t notice the holiday. Sure feels like Monday to me all over again. It will make for a short week though.
Nothing much I have to do today. I need to make up a bed and clean a bathroom but other than that nothing has to be done. I do need to find something productive to do though. I am getting tired of sitting too much and wasting too much time. I do good sitting for a day or so but then I need something productive to do. Just can’t think of anything that needs done besides cleaning.
Still sitting in my peaceful valley. I am grateful the on-line dating happenings haven’t pulled me off-center. I feel myself more as an observer to the process than an active participant which is a healthy place for me to be.
Grateful for the adventures of life – in the many forms they present themselves to me, grateful for empty space and the ability to be able to embrace it and enjoy it, and grateful for being able to keep my center through the storms of on-line dating!
Kay – I met my husband online over 21 years ago–our 20th wedding anniversary is next June. I think you’re right to be leery of any story that sounds a little “off.” On the other hand, remember that men far outnumber women on those sites, so surely there are some good ones out there.
Funny story though—I was trying to bring up our cell phone account online and Bret must have set up the password. The security question was “where did you meet your spouse?” . . I was typing “Kansas City” and “Independence” .. nothing worked. Finally I called him and asked him what town he’d used for the answer–his answer was “Online” That one never occurred to me.
