Why Online Dating is Not for Me

I’ve decided to give up online dating; I told myself when I return from my high reunion I would delete my page. I was meeting one jack butt after another. One guy said he picked my profile because I reminded him of his ex-wife; we had a similar style he liked. Another guy constantly sent me text messages saying Hi, nothing else, no phone calls, just Hi. One guy bugged me so much about sending him a picture of a dress I bought for my reunion, I knew he wouldn’t make it. Then he stood me up, not once, but twice. Yep, the joker stood me up twice, and then had the nerve to send me a text message the next day saying “Hi Sweetie, I was thinking of you”. What the heck? He didn’t understand me when I said lose my number, he thought I meant at that moment because he kept texting me and tried calling. He’s on the Do Not Reply list in my cell phone.  Another offered to send me pictures of his body parts, no thanks. A guy in Austin was upset because I didn’t want to have sex with him. He said at my age, I needed it constantly, so I needed to stop being in denial. Dude didn’t know I have a relationship with God, so his comment didn’t apply to me.

Needless to say, I have come across some junk. I’m not sure why so many men seem to think women my age are desperate and will accept anything. The fact is, we are not desperate, and we don’t have to be. We don’t believe the various articles about women our age will never get married. We don’t believe the articles about the poor selection of eligible black men. So please do us a favor and don’t believe them either.

I ended up closing my account before I returned from my reunion, that’s how much fun I had. After I made it through all the pop ups to prevent me from closing my account, the account is gone. I won’t be trying online dating again, not knocking it, it’s just isn’t for me. I’ll stick to the old fashion way of just meeting someone while out doing whatever. Like my friend Cathy once told me, all men are the same, they just look different so we can tell which one belongs to us.
