Back to the Drawing Board

After getting dumped before even dating "CMU guy", a friend of mine said, "I give it 2 weeks, maybe 3, before you get a call." Even though that would be nice and I am holding out a modicum of hope that I will hear from "CMU guy" again, my past experience tells me that I need to continue on with my search.

I still have 2 guys that I have been talking to before "CMU guy" even appeared on the scene - "Attorney guy" and "Wrestling guy". However, I haven't heard back from my last emails that I sent them last Monday. From what I know of this online dating thing through Match, if I haven't met them yet, chances do not look good that I ever will. My only resolution that I know "Attorney guy" is super busy with a case and "Wrestling guy" doesn't check his messages every day. I haven't heard from "Writer guy" though. He and I shared some great emails, so I expect that he has found someone else.

In the attempt to increase my chances, I decided to run a search to find some new guys to wink at. There was also an outstanding message from a guy that I winked at previously that I answered. I noticed a link on the right hand side of a profile that said "Find more like him." Immediately I went to "CMU guy's" profile (which hasn't been checked in a week since our date) and clicked that link. To my dismay, there were only 9 guys like him. And of those 9, I only found 2 attractive from their pictures.

Since I spent all this money on online dating, I need to have a man that I'm attracted to. It's very important to me. I don't need Brad Pitt, but I do need to want to look at the guy I'm dating. Sadly, one of the guys like "CMU guy" seems really cool and nice, but he's bald. I have a lot of hair so it would definitely look weird if I dated a guy with absolutely no hair. That and if things would work out and we had children, I would die of worry that my child might end up with his hair genes instead of mine. Before you start thinking that I'm shallow - think about how often you have walked up to the most unattractive member of the opposite sex in a bar and offered to buy them a drink or ask them out. Chances are the answer is zero.

So I am back on the quest to find myself a cute, funny, smart, attractive man to date. I'm keeping my fingers crossed since I need all the luck I can get.
