Just not that into me??

I am having one heck of a month so far.. I’ve been on a great dinner date which ended up leading to nothing.. and I have been contacted by an insane number of men I am absolutely not interested in.

I have to say I am disappointed in my dinner date. We had a great time and afterwards he actually said he wanted to get to know me better.. and then I didn’t hear from him again.  I know he isn’t dead and I can guarantee you he knows how to get in touch with me.  Bottom line.. He wasn’t that into me!  Unfortunate but true. 

Speaking of “He’s Just not that Into you”, I saw that movie last week and I have to tell you, it was not that good.  If you’re in a solid relationship or married it is probably a hilarious movie but for the average single woman, it hits a little too close to home to be funny!

So I have been resorting to online dating.  Its a relatively easy way to meet guys without the bar scene.  Let me tell you, I have never before so badly wanted to resort back to the bar scene!  Online dating SUCKS!!! 

In the past few weeks I have been contacted by many men (mainly on Lavalife) who have expressed interest in me.  Now keeping in mind that i am 34… I have had several 25 year olds & 46-51 year olds contact me.  Half of them are too young and just looking for a “sugar mama” and the other half are divorced and looking for a playboy bunny.  Then there is the matter of the guys actually in my age range… here is how it all goes down…

Him: Hey, you looking for a good time?

Me: ?? Not looking for a fling!

Him: me neither. wanna call me?

Me: no, not a phone person. Would rather just meet for a coffee.

Him: (no answer for 5 mins)

Me: *poke*

Him: I would like to poke you but not in that way

Me: Action – Block User :P

!!!

And then there was…

Him: Hi

Me: Hi

(Insert random conversation here)

Me: If you want, we can meet for coffee

Him: Sure

Him: Wanna come over and cuddle?

Me: You don’t even know me!

Him: I know

Me: Action – Block user ;P

!!!

Seriously, I think I am being punked!  There is no way that one person can attract so many weirdos in such a short period of time and not have even ONE normal guy.  It definitely leaves me questioning whether or not I should even be trying to find someone..

I don’t think normal is too much to ask for.

So on another topic in this same category, I read that reading men's magazines can put you more in touch with male thought pattern..  So.. I went out and bought: Details, GQ and esquire.  Here is what I learned…

1) Men's magazines are FILLED with pictures of half naked men which was a pleasant surprise but also a little unnerving.

2) Men's magazines are FUNNY!  The sense of humor is different and far more gritty.. I like it.

3) Men are under a lot of pressure to get ripped/buff and the two page spread of boxer shorts is proof. I think men may actually be under MORE pressure than women when it comes to ads.

4) Men's magazines are slightly more delusional than women's magazines.  This one magazine actually made it seem like the average guy could “get with” Eva Mendez just by meeting some normal everyday criteria of hers.  *Note* No man reading that magazine has a chance with Eva Mendez.  Not because they didn’t meet the criteria and not for lack of trying.. but simply because she is a hot celebrity and she lives in a whole other universe.  Men really shouldn’t take it personally and they shouldn’t gauge their next relationship on what they missed out on with Eva.

5) Men's fashion isn’t as boring as I assumed it would be but it isn’t that exciting either.

6) Having two separate magazines with articles pertaining to blow-up dolls and how they are superior to a relationship with a real woman is probably why I am having my encounters on lavalife :(

7) All magazines feed a specific line of thought.  People in general will focus on the things that are surrounding them.. this is the whole reason magazines are so popular.. its practically brain washing. If that is actually the case, magazines could be an intellectual weapon!

I seriously need to chill out a bit with all this.. but I am planning on going speed dating at the end of the month.. It has been a year since the last attempt and I have changed a lot since then.  Also, I am sick and tired of internet dating.. let me have some face to face time with these guys!

Ok bed time..
