It seems that all my friends keep wanting to set me up with men they know. However, all the men seem short on one simple thing. For each, it might be somethig different, but so far here is a short list of what they are missing:
a job
a clean record
a soul
a personality
a nice ex-wife
a sense of humor
childlessness
a bar of soap
good sense
the ability not to be an alcoholic.
I would keep going but my stomach is getting sick. It makes me wonder, why do they think I would be interested? Is it because I'm 35 and have never been married? Maybe. A while ago, someone I trusted set me up. I usually say no, but this guy sounded okay. He ended up being cheap, embarrassing, and we had nothing in common. He had told me his friend went on a blind date once and it didn't work out, so he took her home early. Guess what time I got home that night? 9:00. That's early even to a preschooler. On the upside, I was home in time to watch Psych.
You begin to look at yourself, though, not because you aren't married, but because you wonder why people want you to date Joey McKnucklehead.
Bottom line: People need to mind their own beeswax and quit trying to start their own dating service. It ends up being more like mismatch.com
