I think its time to get back on the dating train and see what happens. I’ve been dreading this moment for the longest but sometimes you just have to jump in.
I’ve heard from the same mouths over and over and over again “things will happen when you least expect them”, “you will meet him when you’re not looking”, “maybe you’re trying to hard”, “you’re not trying hard enough” and “if you don’t put yourself out there you will never meet anyone”. Um… damned if I do, damned if I don’t. ladies and gentlemen, we have a Catch 22 here!
Since obviously my “not single” friends have no idea what the hell they are talking about (either that or they just cant remember how bad it was when they weren't coupled up), I will still do things my way, but will keep in mind their messy advices.
One thing's for sure... I HATE THIS PART OF LIFE!

Diapers v. Walking Canes
I have been off the market (by choice) for a little while now, but lately I have been flirting with the idea and getting myself emotionally ready to jump back on the dating train. No easy task but if I want someone to massage my back when it hurts, and make me breakfast on the weekends, I suppose dating is a good way to start.
I am a 33 year old female that has been single since 2007 and dating on and off since then. I also have a few friends, within my age range, that have been single and mingling about the same time than yours truly. Being single in a city like this (New York) is no piece of cake. Lets keep in mind the male-female ratio, same not favorable to women (in this city). How do you compete in a market saturated by females where the “emotionally available” attractive male market is so scarce and women are giving out their good like its free candy? If you know the answer to that, please… PLEASE email me >>> igotadate@gmail.com <<<.
I consider myself a pro (nothing to be proud of) at online dating, and let me tell you that I keep seeing the same faces over and over again for YEARS. Needless to say, I still have profiles up in a couple sites but I only really use one of them (when I’m bored), which I browse to only see… repetition. Not only we (and when I say “we” I mean my female friends and I) have to deal with the weirdos that NYC and NJ has to offer, but we also have to weed out the professional players with electronic rosters, social misfits, and lets not forget about those with the Peter Pan Syndrome
Now another obstacle we have to jump ... Lately I have noticed that men in my age range do not want to date women in their 30’s as their profiles usually read “Age Preference: 19-29”. I’m sorry but if you are a 35-40 year old man, what in the world would you have in common with a 20 year old girl, and why in the world wouldn't you date a woman in their 30’s? We have also noticed that the emails we receive from “online men” are usually those from the ages between 22-25 and 45- and UP! Why is our pool full of diapers and walking canes?
CAN SOMEONE POINT ME TOWARDS WHERE THE "THIRTY-SOMETHINGS" MEN ARE?!?!
I can't even get cheap tickets to "special" events cause of my age! WTF!!!
This city just keeps sucking.
*Le Sigh*
