{Who knew?}

Nothing new… (no news to share)

Just waiting on two… (still talking to The Biologist and To Russia With Love)

I’m through… (ended my membership online)

What’s a girl to do? (let fate take over)

{End of an Era}

I finally remembered to cancel my membership to we-match-millions.com and I feel relieved.  I feel like I need a break from it all and maybe in doing that things will just work themselves out.  It was a good run and a good experience and I do still have the remaining four… well, we’ll call it three now.

To Russia with Love…

You’ve Got Mail…

The Biologist…

Honestly, I put The Biologist in the running for first seat.  I get the sense that our personalities match up the best.  I don’t think I have a good feel for the other two yet.  So, I am not counting them out.

It looks like I may have a week full of first meetings next week…. We’ll see…

In case you’re on the edge of your seat wondering what happened to Dr. Root Canal.  I have a feeling he flaked out.  We agreed to get together after we both returned home from traveling over the 4th and I texted him to ask how his trip was and got no response.  So… I’m chalking that up to a no go.  Eh, it makes it easier to find the right one… process of elimination.

On a side note, a friend of mine asked me to dinner (I mentioned him about a month or so ago, stating that if I were going to get serious about someone I needed to do some clean up and stop spending my time with the guys who were purely convenient.)  Well, out of the blue he asks me if I wanted to have dinner and catch up.  This is very interesting… I think we have shared maybe 5 meals in the last 5 years that we have been friends.  Our relationship consisted of emails, texts, running into each other here and there and hanging out every once in a blue moon but always keeping in touch.  I think out of sheer curiosity I have accepted his dinner invite for tonight.  We will see how this goes…

So, come July 24th my delivery of dating matches is going to be left up to fate, destiny, and fortune.  I hope they do a better job than the dot com.

{So...}

Here we go again…

I am trying to sequester my hopefulness.  But should I?  With all the ups and downs and ups and downs I am still so very hopeful and believe that one of them will stick… someday!  I feel like I am right back in the saddle again, except I am not going to do the whole Dating Dozen.  That’s just too much to handle and keep track of.  Right now I am learning to juggle with four.  And I have a feeling that may drop to three or even two very soon.

Let’s see… there is Dr. Root Canal, To Russia with Love, The Biologist, and You’ve Got Mail.  And personally…. Wait… what am I talking about “personally”, of course it is personal, this is all about me isn’t it? Ok… honestly… I think that The Biologist is on the top of the list.  But I am going off of one really great email.  I get this feeling that he is the best fit for me.  I like the similarities of his family and mine.  I like that he is an outdoorsy guy.  I like that he would fit in very well with my friends and my family. 

So… here we go again.  I am trying not to get excited and go through the same motions all over again.  But shouldn’t I get excited if that’s what I am?  Am I naïve if I let this happen over and over again or is that the nature of dating?  I want to be thankful that I have this opportunity again.  I want to be happy that there is someone that makes me hopeful still.  I don’t want to dwell on all the times that didn’t work out.  I choose to be the Pollyanna of the dating world. (I wonder how many people will get that reference)

So… here we go again.  Maybe bachelor number 1,004 will be the one.
