Introduction to dating disasters 101 with Professor Ro.

Alright...I try not to be jaded and cynical. However anyone who knows me, and pretty much loves me knows that a lot has happened in my life to make me jaded and cynical. And it sucks, because deep down I am a ROMANTIC! I cry every time when I watch Armageddon. I rooted for Sully and Dr. Quinn to get together although it would mean the series would pretty much suck. And in Love Actually wanted everyone to have a happy ending.
So where is my happy ending? How come I attract all the wacko's that are running amuck in the free world? I have tried the friend/family hook-up blind date thing. On-line dating? Been there, done that...Have the Visa charges and not one date. Because when it comes to on-line dating it's all LIES. These guys do want the pin-up girl who can bend herself into the shape of a pretzel. I have ventured out on my own and met some men in a neutral environment. What does it get you...Is being dropped like a hot potato with no reasoning. No phone call or e-mail for that matter. So where are all the nice guys? The decent guys who 'can't meet a nice girl' and the ones that 'want to settle down'? I truly believe that they are not all taken or as some like to say (are gay). I have come to the conclusion that NICE, NORMAL, SINGLE MEN are an URBAN LEGEND.
And due to a current rash of meeting, and going on a few dates over the past few weeks after an extremely long dryspell of dating, has become my conclusion. I had decided to do the journal thing, and log all my dating experiences until a co-worker suggested I blog it. And I shall. Because I am sure there are other people out there, in this same boat. There are others who will laugh at my plight or conclude that I am just a wacko. I'll let you draw your own conclusions. Input, vent whatever. Just know that being single, approaching the big 3-0, and trying to date is just not easy.
