Hey...that sounds alot like my other photo....are you making fun of us shy-photo folks????....LOL

I think a top of the head photo is better than nothing....but then it took me a year to post a pic, and then another few months to post one of me standing upright (and I am quite bored with the current pic so that will be coming down soon because I miss my anonymity!)...so whattaIknow??????....

BTW: Since we're talking pics...what is that in your profile pic?...I have been trying to figure it out for awhile...is that a pet? Just curious....

I have no story to tell.....no long term relationships, no engagements, no divorces, no drama.....just a child and the story that goes with her is less than fascinating.

I found my way onto eH after trying a couple of online dating sites a few years ago and giving up pretty quickly when I was getting random booty calls from strangers in the middle of the day on a week day. Looking back I was in no place for a relationship, anyway, so it was no big loss. Fast forward a few years and I felt my life was finally in a place where I can actually do a relationship justice and so I thought I'd give eH a shot. My first 6 months resulted in a couple of dates with a couple of dudes that went nowhere else out of 1200+ matches. I finally got frustrated and shut my matching off for the summer.

I stumbled onto eHa by clicking the Dating Advice link out of curiousity when I was bored one day and here I am. I don't feel like I make much of a contribution, but I enjoy reading and have gotten to "know" (as much as you can online) a few cool people so that has made it worth it.

So here I am, the summer past and on month 9 on my membership with my matches finally turned back on and still hanging around here. If good things happen, they happen, and if not then it's been interesting and fun.

I decided to give EH just to see what would happen, ok, so the commercials helped convince me too.

I found EHa one day I was feeling pretty down about my dating life. I wish I would have found this site a long time ago.

So how did you end up here?? And what do you want the second time around??
I wasn't ready for a committed relationship in my 20s and 30s. This is my second time around.

I want to love and be loved. I'm wanting that guy that i think is completely hot on sight (none of this waiting for chemistry to build junk for me) and then he blows me away with his mind and i for him. I think that i will "just know" and so will he. Instead of my mind saying yes and my gut saying no, my gut will be saying yes and my mind will be saying no (in disbelief!).

I might seem like a skeptic, but my heart is open to love. i just make it a point to weed out the non-contenders.

Well all my 36 years, I have managed to find females who are broke, in troubled or abusive relationships, have been previously sexually assaulted, have drug or drinking problems, are not honest with me and get caught in lies... yep I found em all!!!! *LOL*

I joined EH in Jan 2008, met a match in Sept 2008 and was with her for 6 months, so I just let my membership expire.

In 2009, EH had a free weekend, I communicated with a couple and thought that at least one had potential so I handed over my credit card again! Since than I had one match who went to OC with me (on Labour Day free weekend) and than poofed when I emailed her my picture (I tried posting a thread about this but like her it poofed too! ).

I found the boards here a while ago by clicking the advice link on EH Canada and just check in from time to time to read and have a laugh or share a tear with someone! Or I ask a question here or there!

I may be 36 but I know Miss Right is out there, if only she would hurry up and find ME! I think that is the only way this will work! *LOL*

Hm... my previous post was escorted into the aether by the moderator, so let's try this again with a different tack.

Though I've always had male friends, I had some bad experiences with guys when I was younger (and not-so-much-younger). Between that and being the shy and studious type in a solitary profession (though I've temped at offices on occasion and spent several years in college and graduate programs), I arrived at the age of 44 having had no relationships.

I've grown somewhat more at ease in my own skin in these years, but I'm not getting any younger. And I do know that there are good, decent men out there: I've known a number of them and their fortunate wives. While not truly "lonely," as many people think of it--I might be a bit on the "hermit" side but I have plenty of good friends and family--I am aware that an aspect of human companionship is missing from my life. So, unable to find opportunities in "real life," I decided to give online dating a try. I took the eHarmony profile test this past spring.

I was a non-member for a few weeks, and was frankly frightened by some of my matches. (There seemed to be a number of biker guys much too close to my home town!) But it was early in the game, so to speak, and a 3-month "sale" came up. So I joined.

A few days later an unusually promising match appeared on my list. I initiated communication with him and while waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting) for his reply, noticed a link down at the bottom of each eHarmony page: "Dating Advice." "Dating Advice!" I said. "That's what I need!" Which brought me here and, thanks to the other eHA members, is making me wiser.

So my match & I are now in OC and I've turned "off" matching. We're a continent apart (well, a continent and a couple of international borders, as his work takes him out of the USA frequently). We are about to figure out how to bridge this great divide, because right now it seems (with emphasis on SEEMS) that we should have met decades ago and saved each other a whole lot of trouble.

Needless to say, however, I still need advice! (And might later be needing it more than ever!)
