In late August I signed up for Match and did a 3-month stint. During this time I discovered that Match was not a match for me - let's just say that the quality of men was not quite what I was hoping for and I only made it out on one date. The date wasn't terrible - we ended up at Ping Pong for a couple drinks and a light dinner, we had an okay conversation (mostly DC chit-chat), and no real connection - there wasn't a second date.
I'm happy I gave it a try and got out there for a bit, but I was not ready to date and was stupid-happy when the subscription ended in late November. I spent the winter enjoying the holidays, spending time with friends, making my way through Toastmasters, focusing on work, and figuring out whether or not I wanted to move. It was a great winter and I can honestly say that I didn't miss dating.
However, as spring begins I've found myself noticing that attractive man sitting next to me on the metro and enjoying dinner and conversation with the cute friend of a friend I was introduced to; and I've realized that it is time to get back out there. I'm ready to fulfill another of my New Year's resolutions and am signing back up for the eharmony.
I'm really excited about it! First of all, I know that eharm is a good match for me and has the quality of men that I am looking for - I have found that the price to join typically means that they are more invested in the process than on other sites. Secondly, I am sure that there will be some good dating stories that I will get to share with you all; after all, half the fun of dating is getting great stories to share with your friends!
As I get back on the dating horse - send some good vibes and wish me luck - I am sure this process is going to have some ups and downs, but hopefully it will be fun. Also, a big thanks to my family and friends for their support over the last few months- I couldn't have made it through without you all! So, here we go!!
