So the story goes that years ago...............no really, it must have been like 2002 or something I signed into it. Some well meaning married co-worker(s) were suggesting to a few of us single ones that we should try this. Great...........just what I was looking for - sarcasm intended! :)
But to humor her I went online to check it out and.... what's that? - they're offering a free personality test?! Well if you don't know anything about me - just know this - I love anything to do w/personality tests!!! & it also seems I don't discriminate these tests based on their scientific analysis, or lack of, either - as evidenced by my earlier post of "what kind of coffee I am"! ha, ha
Anyway - so as the story goes.........recently I logged into my account there. I was actually looking to see if I could re-take the test and get a more current result (you're starting to realize that I really just can't help myself eh?! :))
In the process I discover it is with the mere click of my trusty mouse that I can suddenly be inundated daily by potential "matches" - oooo la, la!
Well don't get too excited. I've never been much into that whole thing - but I found it slightly amusing to read the profiles sent to me. I felt like I was spying or something...........or a teacher grading some exam to say if they pass or fail.
It didn't really occur to me that other guys were doing the same to me until from one I got a "closed communication" message from someone and I hadn't even got around to seeing that he was on my list in the 1st place!?! I think based on statements I made in my profile he decided I wasn't the one for him................ha, ha I find that so funny. I suppose there are lots of times/places in life that we make quick instant decisions like that, based on very limited information - which isn't necessarily bad, just in this instance I found it interesting.
So still, up to this point I hadn't done the so-called "communication" thang.....til this one guy was requesting communication with me. Still a bit hesitant as to whether I really wanted to or not, finally I was like - well why not? & then I found out "why not"? They (eHarmony) want my money! for me to communicate with anyone. It's not like I'm extremely surprised by that - but you see, paying money for all that - well that's a whole other "ball game" that at the moment this chica just doesn't relish.....
So hopefully the love of my life isn't waiting around online somewhere for me :)
Which leads me to say - that is why I really like that movie, Sliding Doors. You see her live her life, as well as the proverbial "what if" life............& she meets the guy in both.............but in the real world - she gets him & lives!
All I can say to that now is...................Amen!

as i often say, we each have a story to our romances, and although our middle part is not quite seen as yet, our begining parts have begun. I look forward to the day when your picture dipicts yourself with the boaz meant for you. That will truly be a day where the strings which appear in dischord will become the violin of the soul of your story. Whereas i am an internet freak, i don't hold out to paying for affection, i too believe in fate and in the words of Orlando Bloom in Elizabethtown: 'You are worth more than being any guys substitute' and im glad you know it. ooh thats a wee bit disjointed, i guess i mean that each one of us has someone who our hearts will connect and commit to, i don't mean a total heart throb, i mean just the wee ways that appeal to us, and are unique to us. So anyways am waffling, but i trust you get what im saying. Nxxx
