Ohhh the irony ..


of a small town .. I'm seriously laughing so hard I am crying.  biggrin 

I decided that I wanted to kind of put my toe in the water again of the dating stream I haven't had a first date in what .. 17 years I think it's been?  I realize I'm not divorced yet .. I'm not looking for a hook up or even a long term boyfriend .. it would just be nice to go out, have good conversation, and just kind of see what is going on out in this old town I live in. 

My profile is honest, I'm separated not divorced, blah, blah, blah .. I'm not looking for instant relationship .. I just want male companionship to have a cup of coffee, see a movie,  and let God sort it out. 

Anyway, I received my 8 NEW matches today and I thought OMGOSH NO WAY!!!  I was matched with my STBAX and I was crying laughing I was afraid I would wake the kids I was laughing so hard and I'm having a conversation with God about .. OMGOSH .. please .. you are SOOO NOT FUNNY!!! 

His profile is short, he has a job and a truck, as well as all of his teeth.  Oh and by the way one of his favorite things to do is spend time with his kids and he would gladly welcome someone else's.  It really didn't say much of anything else .. however OMGOSH .. I ROLLED .. I thought I was going to pee my pants. 

I have no idea if the account is active as in he's in dating mode.  I wish there was a place for comments I would have had a field day .. soooo .. how's living with your MOM working for you?  OHHHH any chance you plan on getting out of contempt of court anytime soon?  How are your children you love spending time with?  OHHH and one last thing .. that truck that your STBXW is going to take because the tickets aren't paid on it.  It is such a good thing that everything is I have to send an email which I won't .. however if I have been matched with him .. he will be matched with me.  ROFLMAO!!

Ohhhh the PICTURES .. they are from our old house so that would have been 2 years ago and there is the crazy cowboy hat one that he mistakenly sent my daughter when he moved out.  The picture that really gets me is the one where he looks so dang psycho and he thought that was a good one to put up.  He is a scary looking guy when he wants to be and he DEFINATELY is scary looking in this picture. 

Now I don't know if I want to stick my big toe into the water because if that's what he's spouting and lying about who knows what someone else is .. YIKES!

Hugs S :)

Oh wow!!!! That is scary and funny at the same time. Maybe, in your profile you could put, no addictive personalities or look outwith your town. It would put you off looking but dont give up.x

Well apparently he likes to drink socially which I think most addicts believe that they can and I don't mind drinking .. I like to have a glass of wine .. his version of 1 is not my version of 1 .. LOL. I never have laughed so hard though .. I thought REALLY?? It was funny. The reason we matched was because his status stated he was divorced and that's one of my filters AND a non smoker which is a lie as well. He chews tobacco which he's told me in the past gives him a high.

LOL .. too funny and you are right scary as well!

Hugs S :)

Scary. After crawling out of the viper pit to be shown the pit again with a smiley "you want to get in again?" God is funny. It is however a good reminder not to believe all they say on their profile!

Umm, yeah, the online dating scene is scary. I told you that my AH set himself up on a dating website right? You should have seen his profile! He claimed he had an athletic build. Yeah, right, being 40 pounds overweight is athletic? I guess if you're a linebacker in the NFL, LOL! And, of course, he was divorced....and still living with his wife, bwwahhhaaha. He did remove his profile after a week or so, but it actually made me think twice about those online dating sites. This was a Christian site, too, so you'd think there'd be more discretion and honesty. Guess not!

Have you thought about finding a Divorce Care group in your town or a group through a local church where there are weekend activities or outings? My sister's church has that Divorce Care group program and she has made so many friends, male and female, through that program. They have a weekly Bible study and activities periodically through the year. I know that a few churches in my area offer it as well.

Unfortunately because our town is so small I would have to drive and the time I don't have the kids is soooo limited I don't feel like spending it in my car. I guess this will be a good opportunity to find out if my picker is starting to be more discretionary .. it does concern me because I know a lot of the guys he works with are on the site as well. Although I don't know if they have a clue what I look like as I haven't met the majority of them .. I can already tell you two things that rules anyone out .. they work at where he does and they have the same name which is very common here .. lol. That may eliminate my need to be that picky .. I'm looking at taking a dance class so we'll see.

Well WOMF .. I keep wondering if I feel like poking the bear and responding to the ad just to be funny .. unfortunately .. he would think I was serious and I do not want to deal with psycho which is what he turns into when he's pursuing me on some level. LMAO :)

Hugs S :)

That's probably true.  I would love to be a fly on the wall when he sees you pop up as a match.

OMGOSH .. you guys the WORST part of this whole deal and YES it was worth the laugh big time .. is that HE will be able to see I viewed HIS profile .. UGH .. that is the ONLY draw back of this and I'm serious when I say I am STILL laughing. I told my sponsor what happened and we were both laughing so hard I couldn't get the story out and she kept telling me to STOP STOP I can't take it .. LOL!!!
