My Bachelors..A Year in Review.

At the request of Sarah..here is my current blog about the bachelors…

In January 2009, I started a mission to find love through Match.com.  Needless to say, it has been a very interesting year.  I decided in December to end my membership and possibly let nature take it’s course (although it really didn’t work before).

Bachelor #1 — John.  I met him for coffee at Starbucks.  The man claimed to be 46 and 5’7”.  Ahh..no!  I would say 5’6” the tallest in his cowboy boots.  All I can remember was how little his waist was.  I wanted to sit him on my lap and rock him to sleep.  He was a finance guy and very boring.  No sense of humor (which is hard for me since I think I am a comedian).  If you guessed no second date, you are correct.  Although he texted me to see if I wanted to have dinner.  No thank you.

Bachelor #2 was 36yr lawyer Damien.  First two dates I think went well.  On the third date, he took two calls from his mother.  He proceeded to admit his mother calls him 5xs a day.  It’s good he loves his mother but seriously, cut the cord.  Three and set him free.

Bachelor #3 Rich.  Creepy in person and I think had momma issues.  One and done.

Bachelor #4 was Frank.  Frank and I had fun, definitely enjoyed making out with him.  He became busy and sick.  Then would blow me off.  I even gave him another chance to redeem himself months down the road.  He stood me up!  Good-bye.

Bachelor #5.  40 year old telecommunications guy with an E-business.  Sorry for all you Amway folks but it is a cult.  It took me three dates but than I figured it out, he was in a cult (when he said his e-business was Amway)  He tried to sell me vitamins.  While hiking, he kept spraying his breath with breath spray.  Turn Off!!!!!  He had to go…

Bachelor #6 Andy.  Andy was 33 and very attractive.  A lot of making out but that was it.  Another who blew me off.  We could never connect so I took it as a sign.  Bye!

Bachelor #7 Rob.  40 yr single father of two.  My sister made fun of his name.  He always had a funny story, I’m still waiting for the punchline.  Not funny and that annoyed me.  (Shocking for those who know me).  Three dates and that was it.  Did I mention he invited me into his house to see his flat screen tv?  Exactly, not for me.

Which now brings me to current bachelor #8 Tom.  Dear Lord, I think he could be a winner.  He is funny, he laughs at my jokes and we seem to have a good time.  At first, there was a month between dates but I think it is about to pick up.  Conversation is easy and flows.  I admitted I was a little kooky and he said “good”.  I am hopeful and will keep you posted.  (Keep your fingers crossed for me)

To all of your searching, I feel your pain.  The sea they talk about is more like a pond.  You just have to find your lily pad.
