This is Why I Hate #OnlineDating, or At Least One of the Big Reasons #dating #datingmrmom

There are lots of things to hate about online dating, and only a few things to like. As I always say, it’s a necessary evil – at least for me. And this right here is one of them. When you’re talking to more than one person and you’ve only got a limited amount of time to make dates, who do you pick and how do you prioritize? Here’s my situation: As you all know, I’ve gone out with Wanda and have…

Wanda: Former Fitness Model bends the dating rules in her favor #onlinedating #dating #datingmrmom

I wasn’t supposed to go out with Wanda until tomorrow night. She was coming into town for work and to catch a baseball and since she lives more than an hour away, we really wanted to get together to meet before I went out of town for Labor Day weekend. But today, she had the day off from work because she’s been traveling for nearly a week straight. She was telling me all of the stuff that she had…

Uma is a local high school vice principal. She’s…

She tells you that she took hers down of hid it because she wanted to focus on getting to know you. So you do the same thing, maybe because you have no problem doing it and think it’s the right thing,…

Over time, I have established a pretty standard list of criteria/rules to follow when meeting people online. Some things are your standard dating rules, while others are based on my personal experiences or preferences. Some of those are ones like: no sex on a first date, she can’t be taller than me, I won’t date a woman my age who has not been married before and/or doesn’t have kids, I won’t even…

Ok, this is where my whiny/needy side comes out. Deal with it. Us guys have soft sides too, ya know.

I know the game. I know the protocol. I know the rules. I am a firm believer in the code of chivalry.

But that doesn’t mean I like it. Sometimes, I really…
