Are Ya Kiddin' Me??

A couple of days ago I get a message from a guy whose screen name ends in , get this,  69.

I wonder from what online dating book he borrowed that line? 

 Oh,  that's right, he had to have thought of it himself, so unique,  original and tasteless. 

 I then message back on my thoughts about changing his screen # and said I thought it a bit too suggestive,  ( trying to be diplomatic and not tell him what I really thought)  

  "not my type too prudish sorry"

Well !!  Are Ya Kiddin" Me ???   That is the best he could come up with ?

Of course I had to write back,

 being the confident sexy woman that I am,

"far from it"

He writes back ......oh never mind , it is all the same BS some of these guys try to pass off as a positive personality trait. When in reality it is a mentally challenged dating symptom that goes undiagnosed.

Do you have any of these?  

What are some of your message discussions that are far too funny or absurd to not share?

Area Dating Opportunities

So I am relaxing in a local bar/nightclub last night with a friend , 

while salsa and Latin  music played in the background.

 Lessons were at 8:00, but we missed those. 

Maybe next time, if there is a next time.

The doors directly behind me opened, 

and damn if it isn't a castaway from POF (PlentyofFish.com).

Oh my....

This is where the problem sets in when you date candidates from your town or near by.

You increase your chances of running into the "eliminated".

If there are any times I would like to be incognito, these are the times.

Being kind and compassionate in your elimination process, can come back and bite you in the ass.

Now, I would never change the ways of my specific elimination process,

but I think I am going to put more distance between myself and prospective hopefuls

 from now on.

I'd say a minimum of a 30 minute drive will do.

Nothing like some heavy Philly traffic to keep some distance between you 

and those special surprise encounters.

  So has this happened to you?

Blogging From my Droid

Now that I have discovered mobile blogging,  this could be dangerous to all you Mr Adequates out there. Nothing will be off limits! 

Looking For Mr. Exceptionally Adequate: Is He or is He Not?

http://www.looking-for-mr-exceptionally-adequate.com/

Is He or is He Not?

That is the question.

When do you know it is time to stop the interviews? 

Maybe when they beat you to the punch?

So you are not feeling bad, 

(not feeling enough vibes myself), 

just happy you still have other options.

You men must know, wanting to hang out in my home, does not constitute a date?

I mean really, are ya kidding me? Interviews are not conducted in someone's home 

unless it is for a nanny position. And I did that already with the last husband. 

So let's keep it out of the private residences (and PLEEEAAASE out of Panera's!!) 

I think there is never going to be a 

"Is He or is He Not".

Just Mr. Exceptionally Adequate.

But working through all the Mr. Unexceptionals will be a

 f my life bunch of experiences.

As in one Mr. Unexceptional who begged for a second chance after just one date, 

(I had graciously decided not to date him again)

and then dropped off the planet

 after the second date. 

I wrote to him thanking him for his 

introduction into the whole dating world of bullshit!

So continue , my fellow searchers...

Can Coffee Be a Date?

Let's start with the definitions of dating, especially , online dating,

I have searched and goggled and haven't found clear enough answers.

I have found this at Wikipedia.

"Dating is a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by two persons with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. 

While the term has several senses, it usually refers to the act of meeting 

and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple."

Now, I beg to differ.

Who the hell made Wikipedia the expert , anyway???

Oh, that's right, all of us made 

Wikipedia the 

"All Knowing".

With that being said, going for coffee is not a true date (more like a 1st interview),

 as in a "wine and dine" date. 

And isn't that what real dating is all about?

I mean, who really likes that 1st interview? 

 I can go to Starbucks or

 the new neutral meeting place,

 Panera, 

anytime I want without all that pressure.

Panera you say?

Exactly!! 

So where are your stories Ladies?

Will I have to be the first to share?

It looks that way. But I have been single now for a little over 2 years and I am not sure which story to tell. Should I start at the beginning? While on my first date, I had my friends sitting at a table next to me because I was so nervous? Yes, you say a little awkward?  Well I was rusty after 15 tears, I mean years, of marriage!
