Part of moving to Philly was to spread my wings and fly, expand my brand and hopefully find a love nest along the way. I wanted someone with more education and class but who could throw down in the mountains if necessary. You can take the girl out of the countryβ¦.
And like everyone else in the dating world who works almost non-stop, I went online. Swiping for Mr. First I tried MySpace and would hack around the system to block it at The Times Herald, getting yelled at repeatedly for doing so but finding the fun of hacking and messaging too tempting to resist. That was a dating disaster as that guy turned out to be bipolar and schizophrenic. Facebook soon dominated, but I tried to keep it a safe haven βfriends and family space.
The one time I broke my own rule, I ended up with a passive aggressive guy who was sulking when I went to visit my family for the holidays after one date.
Rule reinstated. The one time I tried Chemistry it told me I had no matches. Talk about a way to boost your online dating self-esteem! I joined eHarmony , certain that there was someone better suited as it was the serious dating site for marriage and monogamy. So I joined eHarmony for a guy only to have him block me from no contact as soon as I subscribed and paid that ridiculous fee because I took too long to respond.
This was the site for me back in , full of artistic types who were misfits, dreamers and do-gooders like me. I met a man who made a wonderful friend but we would fight about having children all the time, it was like a loud broken record and eventually was a deal breaker.
