Big Date Update

So my date with Mr. Lawyer Man was basically a dud. I had to drink myself into a wine coma to get through it. He was older than his picture and had glasses as thick as Coke bottles. Moral of the story, don't go out with anyone who only has one picture posted on their internet dating profile.

On the bright side I met a sexy man out the next night. More to come on that later...

Big Date

Tonight is my big date with Mr. Lawyer Man. It will be our first meeting after many anonymous emails through Match.com. As the big date approaches I am starting to get nervous. Mr. Lawyer Man only has one picture on his profile (albeit not a very good one), which I think is odd. Most people who date on the internet have multiple pictures posted on their profile so you can get a somewhat true picture of what they look like. What if Mr. Lawyer Man only has one photo because it is 10 years old and doesn't look like him at all because he is older and fatter? I decided to pursue this man because I always go for the cute guys online only to be disappointed by their looks in person. So I decided to go for the nerdy guy in hopes that he is cuter in person. Stay tuned for details...

Some Good Reads

Here is a list of books I read in the last year. Does this make me crazy or highly qualified to talk about love and give advice about relationships?

Closing the Deal

Deal Breakers

The Five Love Languages

Don't get Lucky Get Smart -Why you Love Life Sucks and What You Can Do About It

Why Hasn't He Called?

Don't Call That Man

(In my defense I did not purchase all these books. One was borrowed and one was given as a gift from my mom)

Soon to be added to the list, Why Men Love Bitches. I think that is all I am missing. Then maybe the universe will bring me a good man and I will be well prepared for a normal relationship sans the games and bullshit and live happily ever after. Or get committed.

Match.com

Seriously? Is this what it has come to? Internet dating.

What is a single girl to do? So many choices: Eharmony, Match, Perfect Match, OkCupid- I could go on and on. Well, I chose Match.com for all my love needs. I got so excited about all the cute guys to chose from. I signed up on the spot and paid my fee. Alas, all the men I would like to date live in Colorado, 2000 something miles from NYC!

They say Manhattan is home to 8 million people. You figure about 4 million are men. But half of that number are married. So that leaves 2 million men, right? Really less though. It is stated in the 2008 census that women outnumber men 100 to 86. SUPER. Now subtract all our fabulous gay friends.

I guess it isn't so surprising then that I am having trouble meeting someone faithful, ambitious, funny, smart and handsome? Maybe I am asking for too much? Match.com thinks so. I searched for men between the ages of 35 and 45, five feet eight inches to six feet four inches tall, who want children "definitely". My matches came back "zero".

Really?!
