Plenty Of Fish....

....More like over fished sea with only crustaceans and bottom feeders left! LOL JOKES!!!

That is being dramatic and pessimistic. I actually have nothing bad to say about POF. I have been on there for WAY too long, one year and 9 months. I have been on more dates than I care to reflect upon of which only 5 got to a second date, 4 got to a 3rd date and 2 got to a 4th date.  Those are some interesting statistics if I may say so myself.

You ask...what is her problem? Evil maneater!!!!

You would be surprised. I would have totally gone out on more dates with some of those Joe boos. I swear! But as it turns out, they didn't want to go out with me a second time around or third time around or 4th/5th/6th time around. There was clearly a situation with me...not them. Or...maybe it was them but as a direct effect of me. Whatever the case may be...it didn't manifest into ANYTHING and yet...I persevere.

And now, I want to mention something serendipitous. I went on a date a year and a half ago...with a dude...obviously. The date was unremarkable. Went on a motorcycle ride, which was the highlight and then went for drinks. It was the second half of the date that was...let's just say dry and uneventful. I left that date feeling unaccomplished and like a wilted flower. Never spoke to that guy again. A year and a half later....this dude comes back around...except, to my surprise...I didn't recognize him...at all. We started chatting. He did mention that we had spoken a long time ago...but he had forgotten about the date...as did I! What a pair..lol! We decided to catch up...based on some pretty awesome conversations and of course not remembering the previous experience. He seemed to have recognized me right off the bat...but couldn't place from where. I actually sat down and looked at him before it all came back to me. I think I almost shat my pants. How do you push forward knowing that the first time you went out together was totally uneventful? Well...I decided to see how the cookie crumbles. As it turns out...he was super cool and a delight. It was a pleasure to have met him again. So funny how things happen....don't you agree? Hmmmmm!!! Food for thought!
