Dating, Round 1: Silence

Well, after a couple of weeks at this, nothing has happened.

I joined e-harmony for the reason that rather than my randomly picking someone who looked cute, they would match me with some discrimation. And right away there were a bunch (8?) matches, because there's thousand of people in there already and I'm just me. Unfortunately, a lot of the matches were out of state. So I closed a bunch and sent off the first step to 3 guys.

Silence.

They didn't even check out my profile, so it's not like I was rejected. More like they aren't actively there.

Got a match a few days later. I'm open-minded about many things (or trying to be), but a 5'2" would just be ridiculous. Sorry.

Got another match a few days thereafter - lives in Puyallup! Hey! He did look at my profile, and I sent the first questions but... silence.

And I'll say this as a pet peeve: you can say you want a guy who doesn't want kids, but you can't say you want a guy who doesn't HAVE kids. And the vast majority have kids. It would take unusual circumstances for me to do the stepmother thing again. But I'm willing to at least check it out before running away... see, I'm trying to be open-minded. :)

More tales to come...
