What would you do if your date pulled up in a jalopy like this, wearing his finest threadbare duds, squinting through coke bottle lenses and wheezing like there's no tomorrow? OK, this might be a slight exaggeration.  But what if he walked up to you at at Starbucks fifty pounds heavier than you expected?  (He said he was a few pounds overweight but this wasn't what you had pictured).  Read more >

Dating websites and merry-go-rounds have a lot in common. It all has to do with going around in circles, reaching for the gold ring and coming up empty handed, but having a ball in the process.

It’s spring in Florida and a spectacular day; breezy blue sky, windows wide open, Pandora playing all my favorite tunes, cleaning rag in hand and my computer purring.

About Me: 

I'm single, actively dating, laughing at myself and many of my dates (especially the ones who misrepresent themselves <age, weight, old photos, etc.>.

I love writing and this blog is an opportunity for me to express myself and my frustrations as well as a place for the readers to share their dating stories.

Dating websites and merry-go-rounds really do have a lot in common. They both take us around in circles; we reach for the gold ring and usually come up empty handed, but quite often have a ball in the process.

If you have some dating experiences to share please send me a message.  If we don't keep our sense of humor what do we have?  Especially in the world of dating…
