Since I'm new in town, I decided to give online dating another whirl. Three months in and I'm finding that men in my new city are no different than those in my former city. Not here to complain. I'm merely stating the facts.
Last weekend, I enjoyed a "date-free" weekend and surprisingly I had a ton of fun! Yes, I had more fun exploring two nearby towns and hitting up several Goodwill and thrift shops hunting for treasures for my home and classroom than I did meeting virtual strangers who said they'd "be in touch" before vanishing. I realize that while I enjoy the social aspect of meeting people, I despise the pressure that comes along with a "cold" meeting. Think about it. A profile never tells the whole story and what you meet is probably not what you've conjured up in your mind.
I'll stop rambling enough to get to the point. A hiatus can feel damn good.
