I'm dating a grown-up! Whose intentions are clear. I feel like I am being wooed. He pays for things and in fact was insistent that I *not* even buy dessert last night when I offered. I have to say I'm enjoying the change. He has taken me skating and to a local park's Christmas lights display. He makes me laugh and he's intelligent and he's interesting. He even opened the car door for me! Oh, and he's pretty cute too.
"How did this happen?" you may find yourself wondering.
I finally sucked it up and paid for a profile on a proper dating site. And look what happened. You really do get what you pay for. Quality men. Someone serious about looking for a partner who is also serious about dating and not looking to just get chummy and hope something happens. Effort. That's what it comes down to. This guy, lets call him Teacher (highly inventive), is making an effort. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, hoping that it's for a long while...

OKCupid hates me
So, I join OKCupid (OKC) and the first thing it does is try to set me up with Reese. As if that weren't torture enough, this morning it recommended my ex of eight years ago. An arrogant ass whose smarm is the smarmiest in smarmdon.
We were together almost a year. I was delusional. More than once I recall being in tears on the phone with my sister, and it was my own stupidity that kept me there when he treated me so poorly. In the end, I'd like to say I was smart enough to dump him but no. He dumped me. And I wasn't surprised or upset so much by the dumping itself, but I was pissed that after two years of friendship and then almost a year as partners, he did it over the phone. Then expected we'd be friends and everything would be happy. Eff that. So no, I do not want to hit that sh*t again.
I guess we're good on paper, but again, just as OKC misses the psychotic benchmark test, it also misses the one for arrogance. No thanks, OKC. Fail on that one. Epic fail.
(Incidentally, Match.com is churning out better candidates, go figure, you get what you pay for.)
