What an emotional rollercoaster online dating is. On Thursday afternoon I posted an ad saying I was taking proposals for a Saturday night date. I got more than 50 responses, of which only a small handful were at even remotely interesting. The rest ranged from nice guys whom I don't find attractive, to guys who clearly didn't read my post, to those who just pasted their own personal ad text into their response, to the guys who either loved or hated the shoes in the photo I'd posted, to the guys who wrote to chastise me for not including a full-length photo of myself in my post, to the multiple suspicious emails trying to get my real email address, to the guy who sent me a photo of himself nude (not bad, but come on!)
One guy suggested dinner in San Mateo but never responded after I sent my full photo and asked what time. Conversations with some others ended after one or two responses. I'm still conversing with a couple of guys but it won't lead to anything. It sure didn't lead to a date for Saturday night!
The thrill and the hurting.

I'm just glad there's no going back. It's all forward. No wonder we all put up with sub par relationships for as long as we do. Dating blows.
I got so lucky......I met Hans online. He was my first date in 5 years. I thought it was a practice date. Little did I know.
