Chillin' in my crib

 I decided (and thankfully the boss allowed me) to stay home and continue to rest.  After doing rather well in the health department, I think all this studying has kicked my ass and my body finally said "no way josita".  Nothing serious - just a 'bug' that makes me feel wiped and was making my insides unhappy.  I'll say no more about that.

I think I've filled out the initial profile of nearly every dating site, and then never actually used it. I know I filled out the eharmony one years ago, and they kept sending me "matches," but I never communicated with any of the guys, let alone met any of them.

I just have this extreme trepidation about it. I am currently on a free one called OKCupid, and I've been getting messages from guys, but they all seem wrong for me. I saw one guy on there that kind of interested me (through my own search, not someone who contacted me), and something stopped me from writing him. Because that would lead to maybe meeting up right away, and I'm not sure I can do that. I don't know why I have such a hangup about it, I just do. I still hold out some hope that I'll just "accidentally" meet someone that I'll click with and it'll all feel natural, as opposed to meeting a total stranger for a "date" set up by a website. But it doesn't seem to be happening ...

Yes, I share your trepidation. The eHarmony test "matches you on 29 personality points" or some such nonsense, yet I think it's hilarious that I said I'm not physically fit and am overweight and they keep sending me matches of men who say it's important for them to be physically fit.

It's hysterical.

There is one guy that I'm exchanging info with right now but he hasn't seen my photo yet. I just posted the one that is my userpic so it may turn him off. He may think I look "green" all the time. ha

Thanks for the tips. Unless something promising happens in this first month at eHarmony, I'll be cancelling before the renewal because it's just too expensive - esp. when I'm not sure I want to devote 24/7 to making this happen.
