Yesterday we attended a scintillating forum devoted to the ins and outs of reverse (yawn) mortgages. On the way there, she asked me if I liked living alone. Without hesitation, I said yes. She hates it.
It became obvious that she feels that since we are both alone, we should do more things together. Like dinner, movies, theater, and picking up men. This is the woman who feels that, with the right clothes and makeup and hair, I may actually get laid again some day. I didn't like where this conversation was going.
She seems to want us to enroll in eHarmony together.
I have no issue with eHarmony. I believe it works for many people. I just don't feel like it. And if I did, I'd do it alone. I know it's old-fashioned, but this gal still believes dating should be a one-on-one activity.
I would like a new relationship and I'm off to a singles dance tonight. However I am not lonely and I LOVE living alone. But it takes time. So encourage her, but you don't have to join her... My best guess?
ReplyDeleteWell I can't really trash the whole computer hook up thing cause my hubby and I met on Yahoo! So, it sure worked for me. I liked Yahoo better though, cause it was free. Still I had to weed through some psychos first.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there's a huge difference between alone and lonely. I actually love being by myself. The idea of eHarmony (or any other such service) is laughable to me now.
ReplyDeleteI was totally fine with being single, yet now that I'm in a good relationship-I really don't want to go back to being single-though, I don't think I'd ever go down the road of internet dating again.
