April 7th....
I have spent more time than normal on the internet. I don’t normally shop on the web, look at facebook... Shopping? I filled lots of carts. Didn’t buy anything. I shopped for an air fryers, housewares, Chico’s, Coats... all kinds of things. Given my short attention span, it didn’t take very much time to fill up my fantasy shopping bags. All items remaining in that ‘limbo’ space between make-believe and dress up and paying for those carts.
Moving on from those sites and as a travel junkie...I went onto travel sites.
I am planning a trip to the aurora borealis... and wanted added the fluff of additional destinations to what is yet ‘my pretend itinerary’ . My college roomie and I will lead the charge to a geodesic dome glass hotel where you can watch the lights dance across the sky in the warmth of being INSIDE, in bed..... not shivering, just marveling.... with my kids and my Italian sister are those making part of our traveling family.
Travel is one of those things that capture my attention and can occupy gobs of time, as I seek out the ‘out of the way’, the unique, the beauty in each destination. I love going off the beaten path, as those routes are normally the most memorable and impressive. For instance.... in my travel snooping, I found a home in Stockholm with a dungeon...! I’ve never stayed in a place with my own private dungeon. In fact, I have never thought of it before, but it sounds kinda cool. But, it must be centrally located. There will be no suburban dungeons in my traveling future! I’d need a citified dungeon.
So, as you can see... my imaginations were being stimulated. After playing with that project.... as bookings can’t happen until summer for next January. I must invent a new diversion.
So, where do you go after armchair shopping and traveling.... a dating site.
OUR TIME. I figured, I could ‘window shop’.... and KNOW it will not cost me more than $70.
I will admit right up front: it is a sign of desperate SOLO IZING. I hate the site. I am more of a ‘people to people’ kinda person and so find this avenue a bit challenging.
I was once told that “You only advertise what is not selling”.
That is profound. A funny man doesn’t need to tell me he is funny.... he needs to BE FUNNY on his profile. If a man is sweet, he needs to relate a story that reflects his being sweet.
This site is aesthetically unpleasing. It’s confusing and gets me nervous. It has too many little squares and the same men of 20 keep popping up. And.... despite that fact that I said I was interested in a MAN, they keep sending me “REEVAH “, a girl. Hmmmmm. And then, I found a couple of guys I know on the site. Looking at their profile it was interesting to see how I would have reacted to their profile had I not known them.... and what I really think because I know them.
None of it gives me hope.
So after two days..... and a total of 45 minutes: I wanted to cancel, and it would not let me.
So much for window shopping and armchair ‘dating’.
I believe it is all about chemistry. chemistry is quite personal. Up front. It is. Or it is not.
Hmm. Stay tuned to see what is next.
More swashbuckling with my saw?!
