Actually, Wii, I just wrote an article called "Celibacy After Divorce" for a blog that recently approached me. I was asked to provide a conservative voice to help balance out the left-leaning panel of bloggers (it is a S. F. bay-area based blog).
My first article, already published, was my list of deal breakers that men have on their online dating profiles. Next one in the can is called "The C Word-Confessions of a Conservative". And then I just submitted my celibacy article. I wonder if I will be met with outraged comments about my prudish dark ages views, or with radio silence...
After Mr. One-and-done last fall (which was actually someone I have known since I was ten so not a quickie/hookup) I did some soul-searching and decided I am going to wait until I meet the next Mr. BBJ to sleep with anybody. For me it's the right choice, but I understand not everybody feels that way.
I do miss companionship and affection, though. And to those who say, "Get a dog" or "Hug your kids"--it is not the same. Of course it isn't the same. That's like saying you really want cheesecake and someone tells you to go chew on some celery. Not gonna get the job done.
My match account expires at the end of the month. I was going to just let it expire. But I am tempted to edit my profile and put in there that I won't be sleeping with any of my dates, and see how quickly all my winks and emails disappear.
After talking with my IC and my Pastor I have pretty much concluded that Mr. Awesome will have to come walking into my life down the road bc I don't really feel that motivated to search him out on websites anymore...removing 2200 profiles has not gotten me anywhere.
