We are back together

Yes, after 10 months apart, eharmony.com and I are giving it another go. I signed on again, I started completely over, I answered all the questions again that took me 6 months to answer 4 years ago and this past Saturday it took me 45 minutes. Apparently 4 years ago I was a little too much of a booze hound or unsure about myself (wait, isn't that one in the same) and now, I was sober (on Saturday) and more confident in what I want and my answers to questions like "rate yourself on the following...". So far I have for sure been matched up with 2 people I was matched up with before and one of them I went out with...never to hear from him again. I immediately closed him, I would like not to venture through tunnels of darkness again! 

I was "closed" this morning by two men who had taken one look at my profile and immediately shut me down. It occurred to me, to automatically close someone on eharmony that the website had just that second matched you up with is similar to a friend of yours in a bar saying "hey, I want you to meet my friend" and their friend looks at you, turns around and walks away. Straight and to the point, clearly, not interested. It is called ripping off the band-aid dating. So I'm going to do the same, quick, easy and if you are confident enough, painless too. 

Also, at which point will eharmony.com realize that Sugar Land, Katy, Manvel, Humble, Spring and Bay Town are NOT Houston? I'm not saying either is better or worse, but I live in this city and they in theirs. I am not on the bachelor or bachelorette, I have no intention of moving to the suburbs for someone and let's be honest here, I don't intend to drive there for a Saturday night out either. I have no issue with the towns themselves nor the people that are from there, I have an issue with gas mileage! Have you seen the prices? It is one thing that I am again forking over some of my hard earned income to pay to meet someone or not meet someone for that matter... I can't then delve into the pockets even more at this point to find them outside of my little inside Beltway 8 bubble! These are just the first thoughts I have 3 days in...

This is it

So it was a month ago that I last posted about that debacle in Rome...it has taken a month for me to contemplate all that went on during that fateful night and the weeks, months and year that led up to it. I have come up with a theory, for so many years my fantasies, the things I wished for and I wanted and I could picture in my head happening, well, they didn't. I would always get some warped, picked up at the local convenient store generic version of the fantasy or dream that I had. Hence, the soup kitchen turned berated match in a bar called Trinity College in the middle of Rome. Of course I wasn't swept off my feet, I thought about it too much, I pictured what I wanted to happen...I "cinematized" what I wanted and I got Jersey Shored back to reality.

So now that I understand it isn't in the dream it is in the reality, I'm setting forth with my head fully in the game. This weekend I will get back on the train of the internet dating, I will see what life has to offer in the cyber world of relationships and I will inform you about each and every one of those train wrecks. Am I hoping for a train wreck? No. Do I actually want to find someone who will make me laugh and vice versa and want to spend more than 2 dates with me? Yes. Would I rather get a train wreck before something dramatic or worse boring for my dating tales? Hell yes!

I will keep you posted as long as you stay posted with me...let the journey begin again! Cyber on friends
