The (partial) answer to the burning question: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED NEXT?
Once I activated my membership with the dating service I started running searches looking for the perfect match for myself. The first search I ran was what could best be described as “The Eliminator”. It eliminated most every man on the planet because the search criteria was so tightly defined. The first (seriously FIRST) person I came across (gawd I wish I was making this up) was an ex-boyfriend.
Now, I have to tell you that my first initial reaction to finding his profile was my stomach dropping to my shoes then skyrocketing to the top of my immediately dizzy head. After I caught my breath from the shock of finding him, I decided this is not a bad thing. While this person is a former boyfriend they are presently a very close friend of mine. He is someone that I have an incredible amount of respect for so when I read his profile and considered what I had searched for I knew that I had to keep my requirements tight if I wanted to find someone of equal or higher quality.
Over the next week and a half I was contacted by several men, off the top of my head I’d say 25+, many of which I eliminated from the radar very quickly based on them having a seemingly high Idiot Rating based on my (see above) Eliminator Requirements.
If I say I am looking for a Divorced White Male ages 35-47 do not have Grandpa Jones, age 72 looking for a Harley Mama contact me for travels around the country for cryin’ out loud. At the same time, I do not want the hot buff 21 year old that looks like Keanu Reeves and wants to party all the time either. Dig?
PTO.DADS.ARE.SEXY.
How fucking hard is that to understand?
Anyways...as the week and a half rolled on I started feeling incredibly overwhelmed by all of the contacts and was having a hard time keeping up with it all. I decided if I can't manage the damn emails in my day how in sam hell am I supposed to coordinate actually MEETING any of these people. After just 7 days of participation I blocked my profile and suspended my membership because this was a helluva lot more time consuming than I expected.
More later.

That definitely sounds way too overwhelming. Have you tried that one that they advertise on tv all the time? I can't remember the name of it right now darn it
I met hubby right after I pulled out of the dating service. Everyone I met there were complete IDIOTS.
My girlfriend joined right before I quit and hubby (well, not hubby at the time!) contacted her. She told him that he wasn't her type, but she knew someone that would really like him.
That happened to be me.
And, as they say, the rest is history.
Match.com? Is that the one on TV?
So, Kathy, are you going to be actually re-married by the time you finish telling us what happened?
What's his name? :)
