Yep, Hope and I are back in the dating saddle.
It was an interesting 6 months of relationship. As a great friend once said, "You should only invest 6 months, and then end it. That's it, and you don't throw a fit."
So far, pretty valid advice for a woman who is financially secure, a homeowner, has the children she wants to have, and finds herself in a dating pool of men who are in the same boat. Or who have never learned the fine art of commitment. There is a reason those men have never been in a real long term relationship.
Anyways, back in the saddle, means more internet dating faux pas.
The one I have issue with currently is LOL. If I read that, I instantly discredit your ability to process information. I will take a "Ha" and "Heh", even a "Laugh out loud". But you use LOL, and I want to groan and dry heave at the same time.
Here is a little example:
Someone emailed me this flirty little response to my tagline of "Sarcasm, one of the many services I offer."
"Ok, I'll bite. What other services to you offer?"
After I try to look at his profile, which is hidden, I reply,
"Wouldn't you like to know, Mr. I-Hid-My-Profile?"
He then kills the buzz with:
"Lol!
Actually, i am not a member. I was but it ran out. I use my phone to check the site. How's your summer going? What do you do?"
1. Lied, because you can't email without an account.
2. Used LOL.
Blech!
