Had another date with the Big Lots guy last night. I'm taking it uncharacteristically slow with him - because I think he might be real serious boyfriend material! Funny how that works.
At second look, I have to say - he's a real man. Honorable, responsible, kind, thoughtful. And it doesn't hurt that he's a big handsome hunk of a man.
Today was the day EHarmony was to run out. I got an email that they automatically renewed my one month subscription for $49.95.
I called and said I signed up for just one month. If I wanted to sign up additional months I would have chosen the three-month plan.
The girl on the phone nicely explained that the auto renew button was on and it was detailed several times during the subscription process that it needed to be turned off.
I'm pretty cautious with what money I have so I think I would have noticed it. I kept after her until I got a partial refund and one more month -- even though I didn't want it.
Just like people on the board said. After two weeks, I'd cycled through all of the compatible people close to me and the last two weeks there were just two matches and quite a ways away.
She said I needed to expand my available area to 60 miles to get more matches and give the process a year.
I told her I work three jobs and have my girls 45 percent of the time and wasn't interested in driving an hour to see someone.
She was very well trained. Sweet voice. Understanding. Trying to help me.
Still, I got a couple of bucks back.

oh, the hidden auto-renew option... the tool of the devil!! I am well acquainted with the little demon and make sure I ask if my memb. will renew. And 49 per month?? are they nuts? I don't want to pay the 30 for christiancafe even though I have good gf (and some guys) on the chat room! lol...

It's been a while since I posted on DB, but as my girls call it I have been "creeping" on here. "Creeping" on facebook is a synonym for being nosy reading people's post...lol.
I did Match.Com and I like others, did not like having to pay the money. I tried Plenty of Fish. I went on a few dates. Some that were okay, but a few that were not...lol. I always met that a public place. I did end up becoming good friends with one of the men I met on POF.
A year ago a friend from college and I reconnected on FaceBook, and as they say the rest is history. He is sweet, kind, and likes me for me. Recently, we went to visit a presidential library. As were walking up the sidewalk, we were holding hands, when we got close to the door, we stopped holding hands so he could open the door. A lady was sitting on a bench and said to us, "Keep holding hands, you don't see that much anymore. I love seeing it." I almost replied to her, "Oh, we are holding hands, because we aren't married", but instead I smiled. I thought I might sound a little cynical if I said that. The thing I realized is that marriages would be better if we kept the "freshness" of dating.
Hang in there friends, and don't settle on Mr/Ms Okay, keep looking for the right one!!!
Hugs, Yoyo
