I'm such a sucker for a gorgeous guy. I start dating, I'm all excited, which hasn't happened to me in years, and then he falls off the face of the earth. I decided after no returned email or phone calls to stop doing busy work around my place - laundry, unpacking, much-needed cleaning - and rollerbladed for the first time in YEARS.
Central Park was lovely today. Above is a great photo from a friend and while there is less green and more bare branches, there is still a lot of color. The wet leaves led to some tricky rollerblading. I only fell once on the steep downhill part of the loop up on the North section near Harlem. I tried to stop as I rolled over a $20. Two cyclist got it :( Used lots of muscles I thought were in good shape; I was wrong. Realized I need to gain some more muscle. I also realized there are too many damn people in Central Park! We need a bigger park.
I also realized that rollerblading still didn't make me forget about him. Lots of little broken hearted moments, but I know I've caused a few of those myself so none of us are blameless. Why do I get on this crazy thing called dating? Oh yeah, solo stuff sometimes sucks after awhile :p

Come on Mel, at this stage of your life, can't you go after guys that share your warped view of the world and aren't just super hot? Find a guy who is just average looking but really cool...he might just grow on you!
I'm writing a new eHarmony chick. She gave me her e-mail address without me asking, and she floored me by saying that she didn't pay for the pictures and didn't know what I looked like?! She sent me an icebreaker solely on what I wrote! Whoa. So I e-mailed some pictures of myself. So that's my advice to you, stop paying for eHarmony, and contact only the guys you find interesting, with no pictures to guide you. Do it totally blind!
Of course, I haven't met her yet, so there could still be a train wreck coming. (LOL)
"at this stage of your life" wtf? I rarely post about the guys I date but simply stated by a comedian, "I've had so many blind dates I should get a free dog." And I've dated many, many, many types of men. At this stage in my life I'm finding being single so much better than being coupled. eH gave me a great friend and lots of shitty dates - enough of doing something I hate and at this stage in my life, I know better.
