Long time no post

So I took some time off from blogging and got back online with the online dating thing.  It has now been a year since I rejoined the sites.  Yes, sites.  Better odds right??  You would think.  Here is what has happened so far:

6: the number of months I spent talking to a guy to only be "dumped"/"ditched" for another girl who he is now engaged too.

5: the number of guys I have talked to off the site

4: the number of co-workers I have found on the sites

3: the number of sites I am currently active on

2: the number of dates I have had from these sites.  Neither went well

I'm still keeping my eyes open off the site as well.  I know that he could be anywhere.  Its frustrating.  I was at a friends wedding a few months ago and the pastor joked that the bride had planned everything out for that day and that for years the only missing piece was the groom.  I feel that way sometimes.  I know what I want for my wedding and for my marriage, how many kids, names, pets. etc.  I'm only missing one important piece.  I know I can have some of those things without a man, but I want those things with someone.  I want to share my life with someone.

I have learned some things from my time back on the sites, but there are still some things I am trying to figure out.  This is why I'm returning to the blog.  Hopefully there are some other singles out there trying to navigate the dating world and we can all help each other out.
