From my blog on Myspace.....

As all of you probably know,  I've been looking for someone to spend time with for quite some time....(Remember the "Win A Date With oneel" contests on our BTU Myspace?  LOL!  Those were a hoot!)  Anyway,  so I was drawn to this site called "plentyoffish.com" that should actually be called "WeAllThinkWe'reSupermodelsSoBuggerOff.com"

Granted,  I know I'm not the best looking guy on Earth by any means,  but I do know there's more to me than just that.  This site has to be full of the most superficial people on God's Green Earth...
1.  If you're not interested in someone,  but they take the time to send you a message introducing themself,  please at least take the time to shoot an email back saying "Sorry,  not interested,  but it's nice to meet you."  ESPECIALLY on a site like plentyoffish,  where I can see if you read the email or not,  or if you deleted it. 
2.  And that brings me to point 2...I can also tell if you looked at my profile or not,  so at least look at my profile before rejection.  It's "can't judge a book by it's cover" syndrome.
3.  Face it folks,  we're on a frickin dating site.  Dating sites are GREAT for people like myself,  who are a bit socially awkward.  But let's be real....If I looked like Ben Affleck or Tom Cruise(Pre-"Blow"),  would I need a dating site?  Probably not....So at least take the time to get to know people BEFORE you shoot them down.
4.  And while we're at it,  SpeedDating blows as well.  I went to one of those,  and it was one of hte most awkward things I've ever done.  I'm pretty good at keeping conversation with people when I can find common ground.  However,  when you have NOTHING in common with someone,  and you have 5 minutes to talk to them,  that 5 minutes is th LONGEST 5 minutes of your life....

I met Jess on cupid.com and 2 other guys I work with met their wives on there... 

My mom met my stepdad on Match.com....  Works for some people.  Guess you just have to play the law of averages

My wife's first words to me the night we met:

"Excuse me, but you're interrupting us!"

(For the record, she was kidding; I just didn't know it. It was several months before I spoke to her again. )

yeah i don't have good luck in person so if i add the internet i don't think i'll do so well.

I'm glad I never had to date girls. I lucked out when I was 17 and some hot blonde told a mutual friend that she 'might' be interested in a phone call from me.

So I did and she gave me the cold shoulder at first. When I didn't call back she assumed I was playing hard to get or something (I was actually too intimidated to call back) and she called me for a date. We married 4 years after that and next month will be our 12 year anniversary.

I was never courageous enough to chase after a girl. Thank God for ...um...God. 

Well... the Shiloh boyz got hitched right? So... there's hope.
