‘Digitally Dating’

May 2nd, 2012

Online Dating just got WAY more exciting!

By now I am sure you have all heard about the new online dating site World Wide Lovers, but have you heard that newly single celebrity heart throb Ashton Kutcher is signed up and looking for love!!???

I’ve been off dating for a little while now, but if there is one reason to put myself back on the market I think this just might be it!

They do say that one out of every five people find love on the internet.  I just never thought that I could potentially be matched up with Ashton Kutcher!! I think it’s time to update my profile and pictures.

I have a hard enough time deciding what to wear on a date with a non-celebrity and just think about all the paparazzi!

Do you know a special single lady who’d die for the chance to date Ashton? Be sure you tell them all about it and send them over to WorldWideDating.com for their chance!

Being Single doesn’t have to be Scary

I’m Happily Single with a great big emphasis on “Happily”.

I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I’m comfortable with who I am, where I’ve come from and where I can go.

It wasn’t that long ago, fresh from divorce and end of a 17 year relationship, that being single scared the shit out if me.

I spent hours scouring dating profiles in search of what I thought I needed. Serial dating and becoming more and more terrified with each failed love connection that I would end up alone and crazy with only my cats for companionship.

Crazy is thinking there’s anything wrong with that scenerio.

I mean how could anyone possibly be alone. What with all the online and offline social outlets. I hardly have time to give a second thought to dating and relationships these days.

Society has historically stigmatized single women, especially those if us over 30. Add to that “divorced” and I might as well have a big sign over my head labled damaged.

Well, I may have a few bruises and I’m a little more guarded than I once was, but I still have plenty of good years left and I’m planning to enjoy each and every one!

It pains me to see other women, close friends of mine, suffering through sadness of singletude. They haven’t reached the same achievements as I have. I can encourage and support them to embrace single life, but I can’t force them to see through my rose colored glasses.

Being single doesn’t have to be scary. It’s your time to make life all about you. Do what makes you happy. Celebrate your independence and let no one stand in your way of being the greatest you the world has ever seen!

Life is too short. “Don’t worry, be happy” -Bobby McFerrin

Time-Out

http://www.flickr.com/photos/uggboy/6648250763/

Does your body ever just shut down on you?

I took a half-day at work today in anticipation of a trip into NYC this evening to sip cocktails with SingleEdition friends. I wasn’t feeling so hot when I got home at 2pm. I had plenty of time, so I sat down ….  then I woke up WAY later than I was supposed to.

I’m bummed out, but I guess my body needed a Time-Out.

I’m in a Time-Out with wanting a relationship right now as well. I have some residual Divorce things to wrap up and I am determined to do so, but until I do I don’t feel like I can commit myself elsewhere. Plus, I am having such a great time meeting people and making new local friends since moving to Morristown, which is something I haven’t had much opportunity/desire to do since moving to New Jersey 12 years ago.

My social “local” (RL) network has been pretty small over the years. Work, Online Dating and dash of Social Networks have been my resources for making friends … and now my meetup group! I love this group and have made some awesome new friends!

So, naturally a new social life leads to meeting new men and going out with men is typically considered dating, which conflicts with my relationship time out. I’m not ready to even open my mind to the thought of a relationship right now, but I do want to date, so what is the etiquette?

How do I communicate this clearly so that these guys knows where we stand?

I need to add in that while I am not open to a relationship today, that does not mean I wont wake up tomorrow and decide differently, but as men you really should know that about us women already!

Things NOT to ask on a First Date

This morning I caught a Tweet referencing a trending topic “Bad First Date Questions”.

I shared a few from my personal experience and thought it would make for a fun, quick & dirty post.

“Are those real?”
On a first date at a Hotel Bar “So, do you want to get a room?”
“Are you a Democrat or Republican?”
Him “How does July sound?” Me “For what?” Him “Our wedding”
At dinner “How about we just share an appetizer”
“Do you want to be exclusive?”
“So, when is the last time you had sex?”
“My Ex-wife and I are having an open house tomorrow, do you want to come?”
“Is your sister single too?”
“Why are you single?”
“Do you mind if I bring my kid?”

I’ll let you decide which of these I’ve actually heard versus those I just think are straight up No Nos. Please share your own in the comments!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

REDUCE:

I’ve been doing pretty well lately with reducing the stress in my life and avoiding drama. YAY Me!

A year ago, not so much. I love where I am at right now… in life. A single chick in a great little city. I have rediscovered my love of being able to walk to everything and discovered something I have a lot of passion for… community.

REUSE:

Or perhaps I should call this Re-purpose. I’ve applied some of my digital super powers of social media to get out and get social “IRL”.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have hooked up with an amazing group of localites. Each time we’ve met I’ve had such a great time that my cheeks actually hurt from smiling! #Truth!

RECYCLE:

I’m 90% Green. I recycle at home and in the office.

But when it comes to relationships … oh it might be tempting at first. The familiarity, reminiscing on all the fun times. It happens.

Lucky for me the older I get the smarter I am and the less tolerant I am of silly boys. I mean, really? There IS a reason why I detached myself from you in the first place, right?

Makes me laugh sometimes how naive guys can be. Think with your other head, Dammit! You’re doing it WRONG!
