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.

Breaking News: Views Hit the 2K Mark

So this online dating site tracks the number of views for my profile. I was thinking about resetting it awhile ago but Team Girlnextdoor insisted I keep it going...just to see how high it would go.

Well here's the breaking news...
Today my profile views hit 2,033!

Here are other fun facts:
# of emails I've received from online suitors: 60
# of emails I've sent: 16
# of rejections I've sent out: 0 (seriously, it's online dating...no need to hurt people's feelings!)
# of rejections I've received: 1
States represented: Massachusetts, New York, Indiana, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Illinois

Stats on the guys...
Oldest guy to contact me: 54 years old (gag! hello, he may be 54 but obviously he can't read -- I marked my perfect mate's age range as 29-33)
Youngest guy to contact me: 25 (he was actually quite handsome, but we all know what happens when you date younger guys...yes, trouble.)

Quote of the week:
" I am not the biggest into emailing like some people on [this dating web site]. Kind of want a serious kind of Girl Friend."

I love how he typed it Girl Friend...as if it's a prestigious job title.
