On a bizarre whim, I decided to sign up for one of those online matchmaking thingies. You have no idea how out of character this step is. I just don't have much luck with the opposite sex when it comes to anything but my guy friends. You know, the ones who tell me that if they weren't married.... or, you're not a girl, you're a Denise.... Uh huh. Does wonders for my self confidence -- or lack thereof. I haven't been out with a guy in so long, I'm not sure this isn't the most ridiculous thing I've ever decided to do. On the other hand, it's just coffee. Assuming, of course, anyone has any interest whatsoever in seeking out my company for even a measly caffeine bearing beverage at Starbucks. And if they do, they don't run away screaming.
Did I mention I don't interact well with the male of the species?
[sigh]

I had fun running around with the guy I met via my internet personal ad. None of them lasted, but they gave me good practice, so when I met the perfect guy for me in the most unlikely social group I was ready to act. :)
