Am I Online Dating, Or What?

No, I'm not online dating. I am on a dating hiatus, for an undetermined length of time. I decided this was the best step for me after my last blind date. The whole thing with the last guy became one really obnoxiously stressful situation, for like no reason.

However, I am subscribing to a dating site right now. And you know how I feel? Like a mega wussy-pants. I've got a whole tag team of mostly normal dudes sending me e-mails and I totally enjoy conversing with them. If I ran into them at the book store, it'd be totally cool! But a planned meeting? I'm not up for it now, and I don't want to be the one to deliver that bummer news. Every time I get a new reply I find myself scrolling to the end of the note to check if it's a date request or, worse yet, a phone number.

For instance, Mr. Super-undies just asked me out to karaoke. I know, I know: why am I still talking to him? Well, what started as me cleverly jabbing at him turned into him having smart comebacks. Poo. Here I am kind of enjoying his smartness, and now I have to come up with a way to say "I'm not dating" that doesn't sound lame. Oh, and it's not possible. Frankly, I feel guilty not giving every guy a chance. Plus, I hate telling guys "No". They get all upset and whiny and pushy. Poo.

Dating takes energy. All those poo boys would overwhelm Wonder Woman. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.




Are you Wonder Woman?

thank you for validating my feelings, wombataroni. do you ever take breaks from girlies? or are you just trying to make me feel better about myself?

and no, i'm not Wonder Woman, but i'm a wonder in my own charming way... CLEARLY!

So, as I was saying before the innernets screwed with my day....

...you are CLEARLY a WONDER. That much is obvious.

And no, I am not attempting to validate your feelings. Big breaks between girlies is my MO. Or MW - Modus Wombatus. It's best for everyone concerned I think.
