Thanks all for the sharp, witty, and funny posts! I am in double dilemna that within the past three months I relocated from MA to San Francisco. While I was comfortable with where I could hang out in MA, the new locale has a couple of times proved seedy. There was the neighborhood bar someone said I should go experience. I went on Tuesday to check it out, just to see if I would be comfortable, since I am not all that much into the bar scene. Sat up the bar (had a book just in case) ordered a glass of wine. They only served beer and some hard stuff. Okay I order a vodka and tonic. THey had no lime. This was about 6. Another 30 minutes and the whole vibe of the place changed. At one point I had 4 drinks lined up in front of me from people who would like to get know the "classy" lady. Not my place at all! They will send you a drink but no one comes up to introduce themselves.
I keep myself plenty busy and perhaps on the off-chance you might meet the nice guy at the grocery trying to determine what is cilantro vs parsley, I always shower and do my hair before going out. Gone are those days off running out on a Saturday morning with a baseball cap.
It will get better I know! All those months of working "on myself" to heal and move on. How is that one flirt from someone at singlesnet, you send the email, but they never respond. And you are immediatly plunged back to the depths of low self-esteem (if only for a minute!). How have I left myself once again become so dependent on a male's interaction--LOL. I so know better!
KerryK-loved the analogy to the Island of Misfit Toys. Are we all considered leftovers now? I had one email respondent who said in his profile he was over the magic age, although he listed age at 48. We went back and forth a couple of times on email and I finally asked him what he meant by the magic age. He told me that as a woman if you post 50 as your age, no one looks at your profile. I think from now on I will be 29+ 15.
I think we could have a lot of fun and potentially learn from posts here. Keep them coming!
