  I have decided to attempt the urlLink on-line personals again. I ain't getting any younger and I am definitely too old to be doing the pub-pull for sure. I think the most difficult thing in the world, after filling out their little online questionnaire and checking off all the appropriate little boxes - is the section where you get to write a little something about yourself. Your blurb to the world. Your 30 second commercial in the Super Bowl of life. I sit and stare at the screen....mind blank....start to type...omg no that sounds too desperate...backspace....no that sounds too needy....backspace....too sarcastic....backspace....hell, even I wouldn't be interested in that person!....backspace ....sigh. Too bad I can't just throw in a blog link or a website link and then they would get to know the real me .
Not some glammed up glitzy pick up line, but the real McCoy. But then I remember the idea is to actually "attract" someone and not have them running to the hills or calling the nearest psych ward to have me admitted....sigh...back to the drawing board. Post Script: August 16, 2004 Well so much for dating in the new millenium. I gave the ad a week, and not so much as a nibble. I sent out 5 "icebreakers" to various local men who had ads posted. And whom I consider "attainable" men, not adonis's, but normal everyday blokes.
Nadda! Not so much as a "thanks but no thanks". So I have deleted the ad. The longer I leave it running and visible the likelihood of some joker at work coming across it and having a giggle is huge. (I should know, we have giggled over others before). Back to the drawing board!
