So I took the plunge, and I signed up on eharmony.com. Don’t know if i did the right thing. The signing up process was so darn long… but it’s done, it’s up. Everyday eharmony.com sends me the list of my potential soul mates 
. It tells me how far away they live, their ethnicity, their religion and age, and the answers to their “what are the things you are passionate about” type of questions..SERIOUSLY? 
Where are the things that matter – his astrological sign for instance! Sure, you think I’m joking, but I’m really not I want to know the answers to the frivolous questions, because to me, that says a lot more about a person than his “I am passionate about life, family and friends” comments. Does the person start studying two days before the exam? Has he ever spit in public? The last time he lost his temper, did he stomp his foot? You know, the little things
Anyway, this online dating business is a bit daunting. It took me a day to finalize my profile, another three days before I had enough courage to put up a picture. I still don’t think I’ll admit to most of my friends that I’m on it. Like I said, I am not looking for a life partner, I just want to date, learn how to be confident, project “me” in a positive, engaging manner. I’m not expecting anything…. because let’s face it, the profiles…they all seem the same. I don’t really even read them until someone contacts me. And I am pretty sure that most guys don’t read the profiles either. Online, as in real life, it’s about whether or not the person likes the way you look. If they do, they’ll want to meet you, If they don’t – oh well, on to the next one The only difference is, you don’t even know you’ve been rejected
So once the messaging back and forth starts, you get a better sense of the perosn. But you still need to meet. I guess I AM being brave since I just exchanged numbers with one of the “matches”
