I thought I was supposed to put a nice, attractive picture of myself on the site. Hmm. <br /><br />I usually need about 2 dates to tell if I'm attracted to the chap. And I knew online dating wasn't simple before I got online, but I do wish I'd known to what extent this process wouldn't be simple! It's so intense sometimes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-92052570197199459542011-09-22T20:20:55.865+10:002011-09-22T20:20:55.865+10:00NQ- sounds advice, as your advice often is but I s...NQ- sounds advice, as your advice often is but I suspect he wanted to be in the position of power and let me think that he was interesting. . .but then just not follow through. . .<br />Of course it may be that I am overanalysing. . .again. . . <br />Stella xStellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166527552362784957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-63558831123654871442011-09-22T20:19:11.303+10:002011-09-22T20:19:11.303+10:00Aunty,

Yes, actually the general consensus was that I was dismissing a certain man too quickly and I really should get to know him first by having three dates with him. <br />The rest were just a collection of "feedback" I've had over the years. Helpfully, my old in-laws also thought I was too independent and that I should've been a living-in-my-husband's-pocket-type-of-wife. My husband, of course, thought I was the bee's knees, so not everyone thinks that!<br />I know, how can you be too logical? Unless you're Spock I spose. . . too educated. . . sounds very cool to me, Dr Aunty, as does the ability to raise a single eyebrow!<br />Good luck with the dumb men; hang out for one who knows that you are amazing!<br />Stella xStellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166527552362784957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-7679129384166075242011-09-22T02:04:22.802+10:002011-09-22T02:04:22.802+10:00stupid men...

I'm on a break from all things dating, until such time as I feel I can face it again.<br /><br />Did the being superficial comment and needing 3 dates to decide whether you find someone attractive come together? They would seem to be contrary statements!<br /><br />I have been told I'm too logical... How can you be too logical? I'm also too educated, weird, fat, picky, cerebral, funny and unshockable for men to find me attractive.<br /><br />I probably raise a single eyebrow too often too.<br />Stupid men... why are they too stupid to see we're amazing!!Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110865608550754101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-15198663742560151492011-09-21T00:53:36.098+10:002011-09-21T00:53:36.098+10:00I don't envy you.

I'd hate to be in that position.<br /><br />If you do get together again, for his time away, I suggest scheduling daily (or every other day...) calls/video chats, at a regular times, via skype maybe, with no expectation of any other emails, texts, or calls being answered in between.<br /><br />My two cents (of which you probably have thousands of dollars worth by now ;) )<br /><br />Or heck, maybe you'll see each other and you'll decide you don't like him so much now and having him go will be a good thing! ;)<br /><br />Or you could still abstain.... and avoid "whatchamacallit" street ;)Noisy Quiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127095448807063093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-58814103654934234612011-09-19T16:56:02.117+10:002011-09-19T16:56:02.117+10:00Nursemyra- you must be a friend of alonewithcats t...Nursemyra- you must be a friend of alonewithcats then! Glad you came back because it's more fun if you explain that you have a cat and three parrots. Me? I'd get put off by the parrots- I am TRES scared of birds.<br /><br />NQ- well, no I guess not. The problem is in finding the right guy- you are correct. Speaking of which, guess who emailed me? I will probably have to blog about it now. . . because I just know I'm going to want to see him. . . and he's back for THREE whole months this time. Sigh. I haven't responded to him yet though.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166527552362784957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-66708751071092811092011-09-19T08:09:19.492+10:002011-09-19T08:09:19.492+10:00So far, it doesn't sound like you're getti...So far, it doesn't sound like you're getting rejected much, so the problem might not be you.
