If you’ve been reading my blog, I must ask. Do I seem that threatening? Yesterday I received two random texts from two different people. NO Idea who!
One turned out to be guy I spoke to over a year ago on Plenty of Fish. He wanted to meet at 10 pm, the night we spoke. I declined. I never did learn who the other one was. I guess he got cold feet.
About a week ago, I got a pic of “selfie” from a guy I hadn’t heard from in a year! 
A couple weeks ago I heard from a guy who I’d spoken to at length, but never met. (Things kept “coming up”. I know he’s not married because he’s fairly high profile chap and easy to check out.)
Have you ever found yourself out late at night with friends and you’re really hungry, but the only place open is a joint where you figure rats meet out back for a nightly dinner party?
You would never eat there if you had any other options!! That’s how these latecomers make me feel. Like I’m that greasy spoon! F*** that!
Online dating seems to have yielded young men looking for Mrs. Robinson or The Shakiest Guns in the West!!
For crying out loud PULL the trigger already! What’s the worst that can happen? CARPE DIEM BABY!!!

NANODATING the blog... 
Ha ha! Maybe they’re just slow starters – growers not show-ers 😉 Did any of them send you dick pics? I got a few of those in my online dating time…
I just deleted quite a few! Found them lurking in the recesses of my desktop. Like. … That’s gonna close the deal? ?
Ha, yeah, I know! I’m never quite sure what they’re thinking with that!
But a year?? That’s too long to reappear sheepishly don’t ya think? I can see if we had an actual dating history. But these are just guys I talked to for a bit.
Hmm, I guess there are lurkers in every corner of life! Internet dating is no different! I have ‘friends’ like that – you don’t hear from them for months on end and then they want a ‘beer party’ – at least I’m good for something 😉
Lol! So ya think I should respond positively?
If nothing else, it will probably make for a great blog post!
Great idea!
One word, ew. After a year? C’mon.
Back in my internet dating days I found Plenty of Fish to be a gathering place for a lot of pond scum. In the world of online dating, for me the old saying, “you get what you pay for” rang true.
POF was a nightmare, Guys would seem ok (or not), then within minutes would want to hook up, and I don’t mean meet for coffee. Slow down, Cowboy!
Match yielded not one but two guys I dated for a short time each before I realized how messed up they really were. Then there was eHarmony. I went on several dates with nice guys who just weren’t the right fit for me before I met my fiance. For me, it worked.
I hope you are able to find a guy who brings out the best in you and makes you want to bring out the best in him.
xo, BB
Thank you! I agree about pof. Although I did make a really sweet friend from there. Match was riddled with scammers! I was inundated. Probably because I was a sitting duck in the beginning. when I first joined harmony they would send me lots of matches in the first few weeks and then nothing for 2 or 3 weeks. They sent me guys who lived clear across the country! I was beginning to wonder if I smell bad.
I’m so happy for you that you found someone. Did you meet from eHarmony ?
Yes, we’re an eHarmony success story. 🙂
Good luck. It can be so discouraging sometimes.
I LOVE hearing that! Maybe there’s hope. 🙂
