What To Do? What To Do?

I mean, what trouble can I possibly get into as a single professional woman who is going through life commuting to work/for work and living with family while saving to buy a condo? The answer, I hope a whole hell of a lot - in terms of adventures not trouble (get your minds out of the gutter people!!!!).

That said, I made a new year's resolution in 2010 to put myself out there, meet more people and create some new opportunities for myself. This blog is all about it - whether I talk about dating, traveling to other states/countries and the adventures with in- it will all be here. I welcome your comments, suggestions, feedback, and funny stories - bring it on!

Week 2 - Could it really happen?

Now into week 2 of eHarmony I am a little more hopeful at the possibilities but at the sametime still a little weary.  I am still communicating with the same man who contacted me the very first day and we are just on the cusp of - gasp! - open communication.  We have gone through the 4 levels of guided communication and am now waiting for the last series of questions to come through.  Yay! Let the face to face adventures begin!!!!???

Let me just say, it's a hell of a lot easier to go through guided communication than going to a bar

or dance club and hope that you meet someone.  But sometimes I do wonder - what happened to meeting people naturally, or organically as Drew Barrymore's character said in "He's Just Not That Into You"?  I could totally relate to her experience in the film - it is exhausting and I am hoping that this eHarmony thing doesn't become like yet another part-time job like a lot of other things can become - you know -things like looking for a condo/house, looking for a job, and the list can go on and on.

The other thing I need to get used to is - communicating with more than one man.  I mean, truly at heart, I am a one-man woman.  But through this process I am learning, when one door opens so does a couple more.  You can actually communicate with more than one guy through guided communication (i.e. a set of questions over a variety of different levels/ways) and still not feel too too guiilty about it, right? Right?!

So I will keep you posted on how things go with "R" and the other matches should they play ball.  Ah, love, virtually and otherwise should prove to be interesting!

Hahah you should DEFINITELY feel that communicating with more than one guy is OK! It helps you spread your eggs out in different baskets and probably will portray a "breezier" you. And I love eHarmony and Match - it's the new organic meeting place. And no beer goggles! But... is there "profile photo only" goggles??

Ah Nikki - there is no profile photo only views - in fact even to see the picture, you have to pay the subscription (even during free communication weekend) but maybe one day we can synch up and I can show you what I see :)
