The online aspect of it is great, it's quite compelling scrolling on my phone and seeing just who is out there. I'm convinced I've found the right dating site to suit my needs.
As for the actual dating side of things.... well the nearest I've got to a date this week was a date biscuit! A bit like a fig roll, not terribly satisfying and won't go there again!
I've been pro-active, life's too short to sit here waiting, I've "liked" a few profiles.
No 1. Likes visiting the Edinburgh Fringe - well as a lover of the arts I'm quite partial myself to a bit of drama, comedy and stand up. But the tragedy is he never responded to my wave....Undeterred I moved on to ...
No 2. Can't remember much about his likes and dislikes but there was a gorgeous photo of him with smouldering eyes I could gaze at for hours. Set my heart a flutter but the feeling wasn't reciprocated.
Pushing the geographically boundaries further I found ....
Still no reply - not a sausage!!!
Maybe my own profile is too HONEST. I did make it clear at the start that I was a widow and cancer survivor, but I did draw a line and stopped before explaining what an ileostomy bag was!
I think being a widow and cancer survivor shows real strength of character. But perhaps it's just a little too daunting for someone else to contemplate. Too much baggage?
Or perhaps the photos showing off my various shades of hair colour makes me look SCARY, too challenging?
Where is the man prepared and brave enough to take me on?
I was always told you have to kiss several frogs along the path to ever lasting love, I'm all puckered up but if the wind changes direction my face will stay in this distorted fashion. As if I wasn't scary enough! HAHAHA
As you can see I've not lost my weird sense of humour and if my adventures make you, my readers, giggle then quite honestly I'm happy with my lot and in no way scared of a solo future....
.....just wishing, hoping, praying and daydreaming that things might one day change!
Looking forward to hearing about No. 4
