"I found my true love"... baloney

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know today is Valentine's Day. I'm not overly sentimental, so I have no problem with the fact that I don't have anyone to spend the day with again this year.

But those darn eHarmony commercials won't quit playing on TV. "I found my true love"... "I married"... blah, blah, baloney.

So as an avid procrastinator who really needed to do some housework, I decided to fill out their magical matching survey and see what happened. (Actually, I thought blogging about horrible dates and weird dudes would be a funny diversion, too.)

But as it turns out, there's a reason why I'm single. After completing the 4,000 question (or so it seemed) test, I have absolutely zero matches. Evidently I'm quite repulsive. So much for that groundbreaking experiment... Good thing it was free.

Perhaps it's because the guys who resort to computer matching services are the ones with problems?

Of course, even if you did find a match, it would lead to hugging...

And we know how you feel about that.

Actually, they sent a match after I posted the original blog. Why match a chunky girl up with a dude who puts weight and physical appearance at the top of his priority list?

How do they know what you like anyway? Try out match.com and see if you can find someone there that YOU like. I met my husband there and so have 2 of my friends. It takes time to read the profiles, but at least you are not dependant upon a computer to sort through and skip someone who could be wonderful!

About Me

I'm as close to being a local girl as it gets - I grew up few counties away, went to Gardner-Webb, then stayed in the area after graduation. I started as a reporter at The Star, but have since moved over to the design side, and more recently took over the online editor position.
