Alacritous Dating

A few months ago, I became just one more of those well-educated late twenty-something women to re-enter singlehood. Yes, I am one of those women whose family is wondering why she's still single and whose friends assure is "amazing" but just hasn't found the right guy. The last few months have taught me two things, 1) that I have wonderful friends and family and 2) online personals can be hilarious. Here's my story.

2 Minute Background

My boyfriend of almost 3 years and I broke up (for a second time) a few months ago. Things ended on a loving, but pretty damn sad note. In an effort to put myself back out on the market and distract myself from all the expected (and unexpected) drama post-breakup, I decided to join a popular online personals site...with a twist. I gave my username and password to five of my closest friends, so they too could enjoy the ups and downs of online dating. They are loving it.

At first I joked about creating a blog about this adventure...but the entertainment value can no longer be contained! When was the last time someone called you "sexy and dangerous?" Or confidently questioned you via email , "don't u want some fo this?!?!?!?!" [sic] And what the web site didn't tell me was how much I'd learn about myself! How else would I have learned that all those 40-something divorcees with small children living out of state with their moms think I am just the perfect catch and would make an excellent stepmom?!

Oh, the joys of online dating.
