In Reflection...

You are dying to hear some updates on my week aren’t you? Okay then, I guess it’s time. Let’s start with last night and then move back from there.

The Party

Well, the party turned out to be….not much of a party. Even still, I had a great time. Only 5 of us showed up but for me, this was an ideal hangout. Okay, maybe not ideal for my ultimate goal or this experiment per se, but come on, everyone needs a break from time to time right? This manhunting is exhausting! As it turned out, I still got out of my house and didn’t spend the evening with the parents. I practiced my Rock Band skills which really are non-existent but can be useful for situations such as these. Also, I see any social situation as an opportunity to hone my skills at conversing and mostly….trying not to make a fool of myself in front of other people! Anyway, good times at the party….no perspective dating opportunities. Oh well, we tried.

The Internet

Yep, I am talking about the internet again. Well, I have definitely received some interesting messages from Skip and some guy who calls himself YoFo. Hmmm, this is very reflective of the kind of men I get in real life. Is it me?? Okay, maybe I should tell you more about them. They are what we call, “interesting.” I don’t mean this in a good way either. Let’s just look at Skip for example. He writes me a message that looks like this:

“A
Are you timid
shy
outgoing
affectionate
spontaneous
?
Skip”

Then, a few days later he writes, “Are you or I?” What does this all mean anyway? He professes to be some sort of teacher of small children, poor kiddos! Anyway, as far my endeavors go, I have had a few responses. I honestly think I have written 20-50 guys at least though. The few who have responded only did so until they looked at my profile. So…they think I’m funny and then they see my picture. I guess it’s time for new pics?? I did just get a short email from a half normal looking male however, so we’ll see if it goes anywhere. He is divorced with children though…something I have been avoiding. Oh well, I think I’ll keep an open mind on this one and just see what happens.

As for the rest of my week, I’m still reading the books and mostly just enjoying hangin out with the fam during the holidays. I’ve had some good workouts which help me feel better about life and keep me sane. I think it’s really important to do things for myself often to help me just feel good about who I am and the way I look (even if the guys online are obviously blind and dissin my profile pics!!).

One more thing…if you are reading, I would love for you to be my follower and I always love your feedback and comments so keep ‘em coming! It’s nice to know that I am writing this for more than just myself…even though that’s fun too. Tell your friends about the blog and spread the love…the more the merrier! Thanks for your support so far, you make me really want to do this, even when it seems impossible! Don’t forget to keep reading to find out what happens with Mr. Family Man…
