So apparently I am a dud. Don’t laugh. That wasn’t the joke. I “need to get out more”, so I thought I would take up Internet dating… again. Apparently I only talk about work, so I’m being asked to go on some bad dates to liven up my conversation. Bad dates? I meant great dates. (That’s me keeping the glass half full.) Great dates with random dudes. Did I say random dudes? I meant interesting men. I’m sure that there is someone out there, or at least one or two of you, who won’t confess your love to me on the first date. At least one of you will NOT try to bring me back to my place for breakfast.

I work about 50 hours a week in a job where I am forced to entertain/teach about 250 11 year olds. I am so mentally exhausted by the time I get home, that all I can do is pop in a DVD of Family Guy or fall asleep on the couch. Cooking used to be fun, but now I am addicted to frozen chicken nuggets that I can pop in the oven and eat in 20 minutes. I’m usually in bed by 7 pm on Fridays. Unfortunately being an independent woman has somewhat turned me into a cynic.

I’m looking for a nice guy who posts recent photos on their profile page. Someone who knows that if you “let your mom live with you to help her out” it means you live at home! I admire funny guys that don’t need me to pick them up cause your “car is in the shop.” We both know you ride the metro. I’m looking for a gentleman whose first words to me aren’t, “What yo name is.” Or the ever popular, “You got a man? You want one?”

If you think you can keep up with me (or more likely push me along) please respond. If you are God’s gift to women, or post pictures on the Internet of you with your shirt off, please spare me. If you think I come off as a snob . . . don’t. I’m just keeping it real!

Come on guys! Get creative! Our 1st "date" shouldn't be to Subway. Surprise me!
