The Path to Finding Mr Right

OK, there's got to be someting wrong with my life if getting my monthly Acmamall books from the delivery man is the most exciting thing that happens to me. (Maybe I should check if he's single....=P)

I still remember briefly scanning through my Multiply network and reading Michelle's friend's comments (Jane?) about how the first thing anyone asks her is if she's attached. I get that alot...with my relatives, when I go visiting. There's just something about being single (and available) that seems to stick in the older generations craw...especially after you've reached a certain age and all other cousins, friends, brothers, sisters (tho my bro is divorced and my sis in the same state of spinsterhood that I am) are married and having kids.

I once had this conversation with my sister. Is there something wrong with us? Are we like super ugly, have disgusting habits, emit 'STAY FAR AWAY FROM US' pheromones? If any of you have met my sis, you know she's attractive, has a great personality and the most patient and sweetest of souls (of course that also means she has a higher standard of requirement for her future partner). Heck with her around, who would look at me? (Nobody believes we are related anyway...only my parents .

Either that or there's a derth of males with sufficient grey matter to notice.(Ah..I guess this is one reason guys stay away - caustic humour). Anyways, the point of this whole verbal diarrhoea (heck could never spell it correct) is to introduce eHARMONY (online matchmaking/dating to neophytes like me). For girls(in the gender not age sense) like me, where my line of work doesn't throw me at hordes of guys (I wish), it's probably one of the more feasable options to meeting someone new.

My sis and I are both using it to get to know more people (potential soulmates/partners, whatyoumaycallit) and of course you have to pay. She introduced it to me. Then spread it to someone else and here I am spreading it to you. Meeting the right guy/girl is about taking some risks, making the decision to be serious about looking. I don't want to wait till I'm 40 to start....and for those who really don't want to sit on their bums waiting for God to throw a guy in your lap...
