This is probably a really crazy idea, but honestly I think it is going to be so fun and provide perfectly free entertainment and discusssions for a wide variety of people. It will be better than reality TV. You honestly can't make this stuff up! I wanted to start a blog about the crazy entertaining stories of a single girl on match.com and dating in general. I feel as though lots of people will be able to relate to these insanely hilarious situations and send in their comments and any stories they would like to share. Let me be clear....This will not be a male bashing blog, nor will there be anything on here that I would not want my 9 and 10 year old cousins to read. There will be no names mentioned. This is simply a place to read what I have been through and what I have learned. I would love for younger girls to be able to read this and be prepared for the jungle that we call the dating world, for married women to be able to read this and offer any sort of encouragement or advice, and just for good laughs because let's be honest.....dating is funny.
If you know me already you know that I was in a 2 year relationship that ended a year ago. It was a wonderful relationship that just could not continue because distance hurt both of us. After "the break up" I decided to keep myself busy and help myself move on. The way I decided to do this was through match.com. You have seen the commercials, 1 in 5 relationships start online... everyone in the commercials looks so happy and excited for their new love interests. I stayed on match.com all summer and had plenty of dates and plenty of stories that I will share with you in future blogs. I decided to stop my subscription after the summer ended to enjoy the single life and the holidays for a little while. As you all know, I work in a salon with 15 women everyday. At church, I work in the middle school ministry helping girls get through teenage drama and growing closer to Christ. Needless to say, I am not in a position to meet guys on a regular basis, so online dating seems to be a good option for me. Most of the time when my clients sit in my chair they say "so are you dating anyone new". So this is my way to share who I am dating and how it is going. I have renewed my subscription on match.com this week and on this blog I will share past stories and hopefully future ones! Some laughs, some frustration, but mostly just honest fun. I really encourage everyone to not just read, but comment and share your dating stories, advice, and sympathy.
For this first blog I will explain how match.com works. You have a profile where your write an "about me", you have a one liner that goes on the top of your page with pictures, you have the option to "wink for free" at someone or you can "email" or you can just "favorite" someone. You do have the option to see who has viewed your profile and the website sends you matches based on your interests. You can also do a search for a male or female within a certain age and distance away from your zipcode. After seeing a few guys that I know from this area, I know I am not alone in this crazy journey! So join me and lets have some laughs!
