How do you like the new heading for my blog? It seems so
appropriate considering that is my eventual reaction to pretty much everything
I do – what the fuck were you thinking Anna?
And that certainly seems to be the case with eHarmony, which
is not proving to be ‘fruitful’ or even interesting, but here’s the latest
update on that horrendous waste of time and money. In the last, oh… I don’t know how many months
it’s been since I purchased a year’s membership; I have only had five guys
contact me. The only one that got into the email stage was the teddy bear
collector from Coventry, I still have not responded to that email, and quite
frankly I don’t know that I even want to. He seems like a very nice man, but he has a real 'sour puss' look in his photo, and he's flat broke!! I can do poor quite nicely on my own thank you, I don't need to move half way around the world to do it either. Of course in reality he is probably thinking of relocating here! I had so much of that the last time I played this game, guys just looking for a free place to stay for their next Florida vacation.
I got through all the questions etc, with two other guys – the last of which announced at the end of that process that he was not a member and if he met ‘the one’ he would join. Never heard from him again – and my question is – how the hell do you know if a person is ‘the one’ by answering a bunch of pre-set questions? Most people don’t answer them truthfully; even I question my answers to these things and wonder if I should put down what I think they would want to hear. “Yes, of course, I love being little Suzie Homemaker, and can’t wait for the opportunity to scrub the skid marks off your shorts", pfft. None of the guys I have contacted have ever responded, and nobody even looks at my profile – which would have been very depressing for me the last time I tried this – but at this point I seriously don’t care. My main annoyance with eHarmony remains the fact that over 50% of the matches they send me either do not have a picture or have not been active for over a month. In fact out of the latest seven that I got this morning, five are not active – WTF!!! And it didn't take me long to figure out that most of the guys who want to jump straight to email with eHarmony are scammers. I did have an interesting experience a few weekends ago at work though, this guy walks in the door and I thought “he looks familiar, where do I know him from?” and it turns out he was a recent match on eHarmony. I hate it when that happens!! I remembered his face, because he had posted a picture of himself in BED – not naked (thank God), but it wasn't even a selfie, which really kind of creeped me out a little bit. I also saw an eHarmony match when I was out celebrating my birthday, and I had no desire to run up and introduce myself. Hopefully he did not recognize me since I had all my hair cut off. I have been getting a lot more interest on Match.com, and I haven’t even joined that site – you can’t do anything on that site without joining. Part of me says try it, and the other part of me says don’t be an idiot. I suppose that would be an easier decision if I actually wanted to be in a relationship, but at this point I could care less.

Well – I could go into this in more detail, but I am going
to save the rest of this novella for my next blog, don’t want to get too wordy
here, God forbid I should lose my audience!
I do have a marvelous opportunity tonight in that I have
been asked to help decorate some trees down on 5th Ave for
the annual tree lighting ceremony – so I am pretty excited about that. I
finally joined the Naples Art Association, and hopefully that will get me out
and interacting with like-minded humans again.
So wish me luck for
tonight, my main concern is how cold is it going to get & how to dress!
Thanks for reading, and don’t
forget to feed the fish!
