Comments on: The Writer’s Block: 5 Dates And 1 Great Kiss! http://anovelmenagerie.com/2009/05/29/the-writers-block-where-did-my-mojo-go/ Sun, 15 Apr 2012 13:45:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lisamm http://anovelmenagerie.com/2009/05/29/the-writers-block-where-did-my-mojo-go/#comment-7198 Lisamm Sat, 30 May 2009 15:11:51 +0000 http://anovelmenagerie.com/ghost/?p=6392#comment-7198 Bill doesn't know everybody! I don't think it's a disaster waiting to happen but I do think you have to be open minded. My sis in law decided she was going to go out and not be extra picky and she found that some guys she thought she wouldn't like, she did, and guys she thought she would REALLY like, she didn't. You have to be careful too, of course- meet in public, don't assume you know someone just because you've exchanged a couple of emails, etc. And write a very honest profile even if it seems like everyone exaggerates. Better to be upfront than to be on a date with someone who expected you to be totally different than you are, KWIM? <abbr><em>Lisamm´s last blog post..<a href="http://lisamm.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/review-the-virgin-suicides-by-jeffrey-eugenides/" rel="nofollow">Review: The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides</a></em></abbr> Bill doesn’t know everybody!

My sister in law met her fiance online. At 47. She used Match.com and went on several dates right off the bat, but then it slowed way down (I think there's a lot of interest when you're new on there). She met one guy and took herself off the list (or whatever they call it) but it didn't work (she found out he didn't take himself off the list, even tho he said he had!) so a few months later she went back, and then she met "the one". I would say try church, but have you seen our membership directory? Dude, not a cute guy in sight- I'm serious!! <abbr><em>Lisamm´s last blog post..<a href="http://lisamm.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/review-the-virgin-suicides-by-jeffrey-eugenides/" rel="nofollow">Review: The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides</a></em></abbr> Me again.

And no single men to share either. I suck.

Sometimes I am amazed I landed one at all! Your comment about 5 dates by the end of year reminded my of a comment a friend (at the sage old age of 12) once told me which was "date them till you find a reason not too". I always took that to mean give everyone a shot because you just dont know where "Mr right" will turn up. I think just have fun with it and dont put pressure on yourself. You sounds like you are now in the right frame of mind to be out looking where as perhaps before you werent? Good luck and dont you dare deny us the date goss! <abbr><em>Caspette´s last blog post..<a href="http://thenarrativecausality.blogspot.com/2009/05/friday-fill-ins-29-may-2009.html" rel="nofollow">Friday Fill-Ins: 29 May 2009</a></em></abbr> I am probably not the best for advice I was always painfully shy around guys.

I've never left a date in 5 minutes, though. Even the ickiest guy got at least 1/2 hour out of me. Sheri No, every date counts! I’ve never left a date in 5 minutes, though.
