I agreed to let my friend Michael sign me up on eharmony for one month.
Online dating has been kind of a nightmare because I HATE dating. HATE. HAAAATE. So, what could be worse than putting me in a position where I'm supposed to go on a bunch of dates?! ...but, Michael's sick of watching guys jerk me around, and thinks I deserve someone who will give me everything because I'm gorgeous and I deserve the best, and eharmony has a formula that works....
Ah, such great intentions.
We started a subscription on the 15th of March -- the Ides of March -- because that seemed like a good omen for this kind of experiment... ? ...and, since then I have gone out on 2 eharmony dates, and one date with a friend of a friend. (I figured, if I had to date anyway, I might as well test reality against the internet...)
The result so far is -- I still hate dating, and I have no desire to go on a second date with any of the dates. I have also rejected countless unsuspecting men who think I joined eharmony intentionally. ...and, in the process of all of this, I have sort of fallen for the guy Michael was trying to help me forget. Awesome.
So, now what... ? I have two days left in this experiment and then I'm DONE. ...and, I'll be left with a bit of a broken heart because, now, I know that what I want.... is someone who's kind of jerking me around....
*sigh*
