Never Ever Dull
With every conversation, I always seem to end with "Never a dull moment"....our lives are rich, complex, and beautiful stories. Join me in laughing about everyday things and appreciating life-bumpy roads and all.
1. Try not to confuse your potential love on how many marriages, kids, jobs, etc. you have taken. Errr....was that wife #1 or wife #2 that you said was the devil? 2. Not a wise idea to text a photo of yourself...and say this is a recent pic. What?! It looks nothing like last year's Iron Man Competition photo that you posted on the site. You now have a gut that stretches so far out. Surprised you could manage a selfie. And why send me a pic in the first place? Weird. 3. Don't start off messaging a person you've never met with: "Hello, beautiful!! You are so lovely." And you are so desperate. Seriously?! You've never seen me except for some random pics I uploaded that had me smiling sweetly and not glaring at my kids. 4. Tell the truth. Don't say "Currently separated but will divorce if we have a spark" Oh, great.... 5. Try not to be like "GeorgeConstanza" who wrote me: "I really enjoyed reading your profile. You are amazing and I think we would really hit it off. But just as luck would have it, I met someone last night and we "clicked". If that doesn't work out, can you go ahead and send me your number so I can contact you?".....George Constanza. The name fits. 6. Don't say "divorced" if you're not. Saying: "I will be divorced give or take 30 days"....is just not honest. 7. Be sure your pics are clear. Those Polaroid shots from your high school summers are a bit yellowed. 8. Scratch those pics of your Chinese Crested pooch wearing clothes.* Not very manly. Too many pics of you and your kitties make me wonder....skip those too. 9. In your profile, don't talk that much about past relationships. You don't have to say over and over and over again how you want someone to listen to you. We get the message. 10. You want someone to walk along the beaches with you at sunset, to share a glass of wine in your hot tub, and travel to exotic places? But what if I have 4 kids, a 77 pound puppy, a full time job, and sport practices, tutoring, PTA meetings, etc. When's that going to happen? Keep it real. So there you go. Helpful tips that will hopefully guide you to success in the online dating world. * All of the above are true. Except for the Chinese Crested pooch...I'm not sure what breed was shown in the actual photo footage. And I'm thinking that it was a dog....it was just so covered up in its Valentine outfit and its hat covered a bit of its face.

Thanks Amy. That's was extremely fun, well written and sadly accurate. Hope you survived last week's Spring Break. See you Monday!
