Ah, what a headache! After a flurried round of internet dating recently I was left, once again, thumbing in the wrong direction, on the wrong side of the virtual super-highway. MatchDoctor chicks never show up. EHarmony chicks never shut up. And AFF chicks, ya wish didn't show up, who never shut up...
The most interesting woman I've met was a chance meeting at an engagement I had recently. I incorrectly introduced her as the girlfrind of the saxaphonist and she let me have it with both barrels at the end of the night.
"I am not his "girlfriend", (with the fingers in air quotes) "I am not even his date"!
"But you will admit, you are riding with him, correct"? I had her there.
"Yes, but I am unattached, unspoken for, and available", and with that she snatched my business card and added, "I'll call you tomorrow", as she wheeled and strolled off in that "Boy, I showed his ass" fashion, so popular in American Pop Culture today.
So many signals came and went in the above three sentence conversation, so many subtle and not so subtle messages conveyed. In less than a minute.
And she called two days later.
Equals six weeks of internet freekin' chattin' and virtual selection eyesores.
I'm gettin' ready to call her now and see if she wants to go hiking....(would somebody please go hiking with me?)....
Point bein, it's easier to find 'em, when ya can actually see 'em in front of you.
Maybe, turn this thing off every now and then...go out and see what's afoot...take a chance or two at the supermarket like ya did on the stock market.
Talk to the chubby blonde on the end with the big hair.
Do something excellent in the presence of semi-hot, half-drunk, women.
That one used to work sometimes...back in the day.
Or as Pappy McCoolander used ta say, "If ya will raise ya skirts, I'll lower me standards"! And he did, again and again.
On here you are a sports reporter. Out there...you're in the game!
So hit one for the gipper...whatever that means....

Yup, Gary...I'm with Cold in Wisc. on that. It's probably something that many of us go through (including me) but, when you can see the humor in it....and write about it...that, in itself, is worth a million. Sense of humor is a B I G thing in my book!
Sincerely
KK

 Hmmmm, well......
Talk to the chubby blonde on the end with the big hair. I don't have the big hair...but the rest sorta fits....
I actually do get out & about....but nothing. 
As I talked about it earlier today with a friend....I never even get "fixed up" anymore.
Great blog, though, Gary!~*~
