I'm single again (post going up tomorrow--it's a good thing) and when I was thinking about putting myself back into the online dating pool, I thought about my profile and what I'd put in there. The last time I updated it, back in November, I know I had a list of things I was looking for in a relationship, and I don't think I want to put that in there anymore. I'd rather just put my BLOGGING profile in there--that's truly who I am and I want them to know that. As for what I'm looking for, I don't think I want to limit myself, I just want to see what's out there. So I don't think I'd put anything specific in my profile.<br /><br />The thing is, Aaron was different than who I would have picked for myself--Jewish, same height as me, not very athletic, and a tad on the selfish side. I realized that I need someone who complements me in the areas where I lack, or who would share my interests with me (even if they weren't his own) and I would do the same for him. But it's hard to put all those little things into better words without sounding picky, so that's why I'm just leaving it out and let it happen on it's own.<br /><br />But I have to agree with your last statement. Having standards is NOT a bad thing, but checklists are limiting. Throw the checklist out the window :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074673520731619399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362160741546688469.post-51096370083248904772014-06-09T13:45:35.636-05:002014-06-09T13:45:35.636-05:00Dating in general is lame.

I always wonder why people care so much? It's not like I spend that much time forming an opinion about their marriages. Sigh.<br /><br />My absolute dating rule is to follow my instincts. I have dated people after getting a bad feeling about them, and that's never a good thing.Karen M.

Hones...I'm currently seeing a guy I met online. Honestly, I've always been really picky too, but I really like this guy. He seems to like me, texts me a lot, and he told me he wants to get to know me better. Trouble is, he's such a slow mover. We've only gone out twice in a 2 month span. I already told him if he wants to get to know me better we have to see each other more face to face (obviously!) and I think he's trying...dating is hard/maybe I suck at it! hahaLindsey Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565459439199812884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362160741546688469.post-16057429708898992672014-06-05T11:59:58.517-05:002014-06-05T11:59:58.517-05:00I've had some of these, and I've ditched s...I've had some of these, and I've ditched some along the way too. Kinda just depends on the guy you know? I love a good dating post though! I'm currently seeing a guy with the same name as my first serious boyfriend and that just feels strange! but at least I know our names sound good together considering we dated for 2+ years. hahaThe Pink Growlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989903849187564517noreply@blogger.com
