Online Dating - Second Instalment

Welcome to another exciting installation of a girl who hates dating, cannot go out because...COVID and hates being glued to her phone but also wants a life partner so she has decided to online date.

How are you? I'm fine thanks

Today is Thursday and there is some progress:
  1. On Sunday or Monday or something, I sent pictures to friends to vet for the dating site. They chose and I went with what I wanted. (it's pretty much the same pictures)
  2. I did extensive research. I mean hours and hours because I'm psycho maybe? I read so many reviews. So many. Also, there are so many dating sites! Did you know there is a dating site only for BBWs? Apparently that stands for Big Black Women. Didn't know either. Is that not a fetish? Needless to say I didn't sign up on that one as I suspect there will be weird pervs
  3. I eventually signed up on two dating sites. They are called Elites Singles for professionals and the other is Tinder:
  •  Elite cost me an arm and a leg and I regretted it immediately. Immediately. The calibre of men there lead me to believe it's 'entrepreneurs' looking for a South African ID. Yeah, I said it. I signed up on Tuesday & I haven't been on since Tuesday. I signed up for six months and get this...there's no return policy. Believe me I scrutinised it. If I cancel, then I lose my money. Yeah, I was dumb. But we'll see. 
  • Tinder is also charging me, just an arm thank goodness but again the vaaaaast majority are 'entrepreneurs' 
I don't trust 'entrepreneurs'. So I will keep looking. 

You may ask..Stellah, is there a time frame to this? Thanks for that brilliant question...So, I am having a war within myself because as the song said "you can't hurry love" but on the other hand, I cannot be on a dating site for years and years because that sounds like pure hell. I've committed to six months of this and then we'll recalibrate. Or I will proceed to take myself to a convent and become a nun for the rest of my life.



Am I hopeful? I'm trying to be optimistic and I'm trying really hard to be open minded. The world has changed and I must adapt. The best outcome for me would be for him to fall from the sky.

That's all for today. A new and exciting episode to come soon.

Hugs
Stellah

Online Dating...the first installment

Dahlings It's been a while... Let me start by saying that I hate dating. Whenever I write a post about my dating life, please always remember and refer to the above statement. I have a friend of mine who once said "I wish we all had bar codes that only matches with your life partner. We will not waste each other's time, we will know immediately if it's the right person for us." How I wish that were the case. We are in the thick of COVID-19. I have been in lockdown for almost 4 weeks. I have had a lot of time to think and I've just woken to the realisation that I am 34. I don't feel bad about my age at all. I love the thirties. I feel like it's such a romantic age with myself. I'm digressing. This is not a post about the thirties. The reason why I decided to publish my age is that I always felt like I was 27 until I realised I was 34. You know what that means for us women....tick tock.... I was watching a clip of The View on YouTube ...

Suffering and Sacrifice.

Is it the same thing? Hi Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. It's been a minute I know but life sometimes just gets in the way of having fun. Right now, I should be writing my last test for the semester (and then it's exams YAY! - sarcasm) but I have had this lingering thought for so long that right now it is bubbling over and I know I won't be able to focus until I put it out into the internet-universe like a true millennial. Life is hard. Life is effing hard. Ok I'm done bye! Jokes. I love stories. I love reading stories. I love hearing stories. I love watching stories. I love telling stories. I believe that everyone has a story to tell. The stories that I gravitate towards are 'rags to riches stories' or stories about how people had to suffer to get to their next level of success. It motivates me to strive for more in my life. It's almost like 'the grinding porn'. It's addictive. I NEED to hear stories like that on the...

End of the year...

Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. The end of the year has literally snuck up on me. I did not expect it at all. AT ALL. I still can't believe that when I write the date tomorrow it will be 01/12/2018. If time sprints as quickly as it has been then day after tomorrow I will be writing 01/01/2019. Yup, it's Friday night and I'm home alone. I am still at war within myself because I feel like I should be out there playing with other kids, making the pots to happen and meeting new people, etc. The plans I had were cancelled and I said "Thank you Lord" because I LOVE being home on a Friday night. I feel like I can really decompress from the hectic week. But I digress.... Have you ever felt like change is happening atmospherically but in the physical realm nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is happening. I've been feeling for quite some time that I need to prepare myself for big changes. I feel like the changes are gonna be everywhere. Big changes. Good cha...
