Somedays I wonder if I should be glad that I'm single because the rollercoaster ride of dating and prescreening potential dates makes me queasy! I think I need to pay someone to screen men because I don't have the patience or tolerance skills that are needed to hide the "do I have stupid written across my face look" when dealing with these men!
Let me go back so you're not lost as you have a laugh at the foolishness I have been dealing with as of late. I'm 30 and single. I don't know why its hard to meet the homie, lover, friend man. You know, my "all in one"?
Anyway, in order to expand my pool of potential daters, I've tried several online dating sites. I don't think I'm a fan of them but like I said I want to put my bait in the ocean because the pond is too small. However, I might need to try the river.

I've tried sites that are multicultural, sites that only cater to African-Americans, sites that cater to men who like plus sized women...you name it, I've tried it. And when I say tried, I mean I've paid money for a month, 3 months, a year. All to no avail.
I think my online profile is more upfront and serious than meeting me in person. So tell me why do the clowns still apply?! Isn't there some kind of online etiquette? Such as, "don't send body builder pictures to a woman you don't know." To me that signals "let's have sex" or "vanity" but to you it signals.." I take care of myself"? I don't know. Either way, I'm NOT IMPRESSED.

Moreover, what is the point in having an online profile with no picture or details about yourself?!It makes sirens go off inside my head. I get the...I want you to know me for mind not my looks theory" but tell me something!!!
I think online dating is more hectic than face to face dating. Atleast when we're face to face I get an instant vibe of connection. Questons can be asked immediately to see if this intitial contact has potential to be more. Online, not so much.
At the end of the day, I think I'm done with online dating. It know its worked/working for some but it hasn't done a thing for me lately!
