Representation or Re-invention On Line

If you've attempted the world of "On Line" dating sites, you've had the opportunity to fill out their questionnaires. This is the time to represent oneself, however unfortunately some people see this as the time to re-invent themselves!!

I've run into those people (okay men... but I've heard women do it too...) that want to be younger, taller, thinner, richer, funnier and even more 'divorced' than they actually are! Hmmmm, guess what, we're going to figure it out! I'm 6ft. tall, if you say you're 5' 10" and you're really 5' 8".... I'll probably notice... especially when I go to look into your eyes and see over the top of your head instead!

Age, I've heard... but I don't 'feel' 60. Yes, well honey, you are not going to be 51 on your next birthday, so fess up! I am currently 49, but know that so many women lie about their age, that I often feel inclined to say I'm 50 just because 49 looks like a lie!

Size, shape, appearance.... Boy this is a hard one... There are those of us who are hard on ourselves so we say "average" when maybe we are 'slender'. And yet there are those who want to be 'average' when they have a few extra pounds... believe me... your date will probably figure it out! I do have a soft spot for the mid life guys who put down 'athletic' when they are so, so definitely 'average' after all... they were 'athletic' once... and this is just a hard thing to let go of...

My favorite is when the out and out 'liars' make sure we all know, that they are looking for an HONEST relationship...

Dating = Random Acts of Insanity

Men and women were meant to be together, otherwise we'd never 'do' all the things we 'do' in the dating world if it was not the true "Order of Things". Clearly dating creates random acts of insanity! Only in dating do you sit thorough a meal with someone you do not know.... looking like a 'normal' human being and all the while the little voice in your head is screaming... "What are you doing here!!!!"



This little voice has a life of its own unfortunately, and is true regardless of whether the the date is going well or not!
