the couch is ordered
I finally, finally got my furniture set ordered. I was getting tired of looking at them and my mom was blowing up my spot daily sending me emails on couches she wanted me to get. Turns out there was a sale at Macy’s the other day so I decided to take advantage and get the couch, a matching chair and ottoman. You can see what I got right here.
In other news, I think I am already burnt out on Match. The first week was entertaining, reading to see who was contacting me but now it’s just a drag to see who is emailing me these days. I’ve tried being proactive and being the first to initiate contact with guys that I think are interesting but they rarely respond. I think guys like the idea of being the pursuer, not the other way around. Perhaps it’s a blow to their ego when a woman takes initiative or some nonsense. At any rate, I still get the occasional stupid emails. A few days ago I got an email from guy in Texas who gave me some long-ass narrative about how he loves Texas but doesn’t like big cities (okay, and why are you contacting someone that lives in one of the biggest cities in the world?) but he would be in New York on a business trip and wanted to do dinner. Essentially, he seemed to be saying that he had no intention of leaving his town and that if this were ever to jump off, I’d have to move to Texas…uh, right. FAIL. I sent him a polite email telling him, in essence, “No thanks.”
Another guy, who seemed nice, has been emailing me. He seemed a tad on the eager side, telling me that he got this huge smile on his face when I responded to his email (I only wrote something simple like, “Hey, how’s it going? Thanks for reading my profile.”) At first I thought he might possibly had potential except that he has kids from a previous relationship and wants more (As of right now, I’m not interested in hearing the pitter-patter of little feet kicking my stomach). It wasn’t long before I started to realize that dude is likely to be the smothering type. If a day goes by without my answering his email, he sends me anther one, asking me if I got his email and all this. I got one this morning after not responding to an email he sent yesterday morning (or was it the day before? I can’t remember). I haven’t responded to him yet and might leave it that way. FAIL.
Internet dating is a lot of work. Thank god I’ll have a couch to rest up on soon.
God forbid you’re trying this shit at my age, it gets worse believe me. I gave up on yahoo, match, aol and E-harmony a LONG time ago. There is no match for me I’m convinced. E-Harmony told me so.
Lovely furniture!
Hey thats the same color as my couch, in fact it looks like my couch only I have a sectional and its microsuede. You’ll be happy with that neutral color. You can do SO much with color on the walls and your artwork.
I got such a huge smile on my face when you mentioned smothering men. I hate ‘em! Hate ‘em! All they do is try to devour you with their insecurities. Did what i just wrote sound stupid? I’m sorry! I can be that way at times. Hey listen why don’t I come over? Yeah, now. I won’t get in the way I’ll just, you know, sit there and watch you…do stuff. I like watching you. It’s reassuring. Want kids? I do! Lots of ‘em! So many that you no longer have a social life and you’ll be all mine!!!
Bluez: i thought men got a clue as they aged. hmph. guess i was wrong.
Thanks, Dabich! i can’t wait to wriggle in it!
Scribe: ROFLMAO. Sounds like him.
Sounds like who? I was just asking if I could come over.
lol Men are stupid. The end.
Love the couch! Looks like a lovely choice.
Yeah, we are. That’s why we invented everything.
[...] What are the chances that on my way to subway after work yesterday that I would run into this dude? I wasn’t sure if it was really him until he caught my glance and then quickly looked away, [...]
