Well, we're now up to 16 women who want to go out with me now. I broomed the Chinese one, too many insistent questions with no answers to mine. Still feeling pretty good that one of my targeted messages got a positive response from the lady. Too bad I have to play the waiting game now but that's how it is. I liked her reply and she seemed very genuine. Again, we'll see. I went for a run tonight and did some meditation. I'm feeling good, I'm making things happen in my life. I made the decision late last week to wipe out those MM thoughts when they come up. That's done, over with and it was what it was. I will never figure out what was going on in that woman's head and there's no point in trying to. So on with life.
Wow, some new ladies. I can't decide between the one posing in front of her pick up truck or the one dressed in a bunny costume. Staying home with my turtle and ordering in pizza is looking like the best option!
Whew, that was a close one. Almost a whole day went by without a lady wanting to meet me. Finally, one came through. I was worried there, I thought my star had finally burnt out. It's a lot of pressure being an online dating stud (you know I'm kidding, right?)...just wish there was one that I actually wanted to date!!!Anyway, I emailed my Filipino lady to wish her a good week and let her know I'm practicing my Tagalog for her. I don't think she's picking up her emails presently coz she hasn't been online since she emailed me but it can't hurt to cover all my bases! Now, back to my real life. Meditation group was cancelled tonight so I headed down to my Mom's to help her hand out Halloween candy. Had dinner with my best friend last night. Life goes on.
The online thing is crazy. I had a good date with OKCupid lady, but she decided to date another guy instead before second date.
I've been messaging with a lady from Datehookup -- it's actually a better site than it sounds. This looks very promising except she never actually picks up the phone. It's all still messages. hmmm.
Finally, back on OKCupid I exchanged some very lengthy messages with a lady north of me about 25 minutes. She seems extremely intelligent and ... all of a sudden she drops her membership and it's a free site.
The book I read, Micro Trends by Mark Penn, said the 2009 couples that met online and married dated an average of 10 different people they met online before finding the right one.
I am at two so I need to get to work.

"I've been messaging with a lady from Datehookup -- it's actually a better site than it sounds. This looks very promising except she never actually picks up the phone. It's all still messages. hmmm."
This woman is almost certainly cheating.
"The online thing is crazy. I had a good date with OKCupid lady, but she decided to date another guy instead before second date."
This woman is probably just not that into you.
"Finally, back on OKCupid I exchanged some very lengthy messages with a lady north of me about 25 minutes. She seems extremely intelligent and ... all of a sudden she drops her membership and it's a free site."
Yeah, I don't get the self-depricating humor either Wii. You are a very attractive, witty man without that. Humor is great and you have it in abundance which is very attractive to some women, but when you put yourself down it sounds weak.
Don't do that! We all love you for who you are.....warts and all buddy!
P.S. - I totally get the self-depricating humor in myself but I've always had a hard time understanding it in others. It makes me wonder what happened to them to cause that. I know my story, what's yours?

Thanks for the input, OT. Actually, I'm quite pleased with my online dating experience so far. My profile and messages to ladies are certainly not self deprecating, they put forward my strengths and the parts of my personality that I think are very appealing. I'm getting responses because of that. I got a very positive response from a lady I approached who I imagine gets a ton of emails every day. That's because I presented myself as I am and thought about who she is. I continue to pursue that connection and maybe something will come of it, who knows. I'm pursuing confidently...but slowly! When I dated MM I certainly didn't put myself down humourously or otherwise. After 21 years of not dating I turned in a damn good performance and I'm proud of that. When it wasn't going the way I felt it should be I dealt with it, I didn't suck it up and take whatever crumbs where being dropped from her plate. I ended it. Anyway, I will give your comment some thought. Thanks.
Thanks Mish! OK, if you guys catch me doing the SD stuff, call me on it. I'd like to be more in touch with that and snuff it out. One of my affirmations that I do each day is "I am enough, I have enough, and I am grateful" Let's go a step further. I've quit caffeine (18 days now), I'm doing Qi Gong and meditation daily so why not work on self esteem too! Sounds like fun
