Ok, I know that I've vented about how men approach women, and vice versa in the past - But now to vent about something completely different. WHERE ARE THE SINGLE PEOPLE?!?!? Its the summertime. I've been going to clubs, going to the Beach, and going out even to local "Hot Spots" and yet it seems like everyone has got someone. So my frineds and I did the unthinkable; (BUT IT WAS ON A DARE!!!)We signed up for an on-line dating service. I know, I know - but what can I do? So I go to this site - fill out about 50 question's describing good old wonderful me and then sat back and waited for two days to see how many responses I would get. I figured my answers were witty, my responses to their 'essay' questions were cute, and I know that I would have dug my profile (did I just use the word 'dug'?) No problem right? Its bad enough meeting people face to face and having the feeling of defeat when they eye someone over your shoulder just cause she's a size 0; But after two days of waiting I opened my inbox to find what? ONE RESPONSE! That's right One response. Now I never feel dumb - but man! I mean I felt humiliated - only difference is atleast no one besides my best-friend was there to see me. And after all we've been through we found it rather amusing. Ok - so there is my embarrasing story (I eventually did get several responses about four days after posting the ad - and a few weren't half bad)Now I want yours!!! I want to know what you've done to try and meet someone. Who knows, maybe just by sharing a story - you'll find someone similar you can connect with. And on a side not - I would like to organize a Singles night at a local club on the Island. If you know of a great place to have it, want to help promote it or just want to show up and P-A-R-T-Y drop me a line!
