Soul Meets Body

I am at a crossroads. I want to make a change for the better. Now, part of me thinks the old me wasn't so bad. Another part of me is screaming to get out. How do I combine to two and become, I don't know, more? I love change. I really do. I have friends, family and coworkers who despise change. It's a dirty word to some folks. Not to me. Change can be difficult, but so exciting. Maybe I'm a change junkie. I admit I get bored pretty easily especially at work, which has only helped me strive to be the best and move on up or out.

So, in my effort to meet some new folks I get online (yes, online dating is scary on so many levels) and reply to a few ads. Well, you would be surprised how many people just don't respond. Now, I didn't send any pics thankfully or I might have cried. If I ever do send pics I hope they just lie to me if they don't find me attractive. Tell me they got back together with their ex or something. Yes, I'm that pathetic. One guy responded and do you know what his email address was?? Illeaturpuss. Yes, you read that correctly! WTF? How in the hell am I supposed to respond to this? Not that I don't appreciate the pussy eating. I love love love the pussy eating, but is this how I want to go about getting it? Now, I can appreciate the anonymous email address, I could be a psycho too. I could be a big bear of a guy here effing with some straight men just to ruin their day.

Maybe you could call it desperation, but I responded to illeaturpuss and he seemed rather "normal". We exchanged a couple of nice emails he even sent me an erotic email, which was well written, but call me crazy the email address was the deal breaker. I couldn't get past it. Knowing my luck he was the love of my life...

Happy Veterans Day.

I tend to make assumptions based on handles and email addresses as well - whether it's right or wrong, it happens.

I am also thinking that the crossroads may be another good place to meet people - seems a lot of us are there.

Illeaturpuss? No, I'll stick my neck oit and say he wouldn't have been the love of your life. I'm similarly unable to take anyone who uses "69" after their handle seriously either.

I've just about given up on the whole online dating thing. It's inherently flawed in my opinion.

Zombie - Good to know. Yes, I'm sure you're right.

K.D. - I have noticed a few other folks stuck in the crossroads. Maybe we should start up our own dating service.

WDKY - I'm not ready to give up online dating yet, but I must admit I'm not real impressed so far.

Toupacz - Well, I as I learned you can't underestimate the power of a good name or email address. Good luck to you.

Well...you can't always judge a book by it's cover, even if that cover happens to be adorned with pornographic imagery.

Take my grandparents, for example. If my grandmother had truly been put off by my grandad's CB handle ("Backdoor Bandit"), I wouldn't be here blogging right now...

TJ - Thanks for stopping by and reminding me to keep an open mind.

I think the love of your life will be more subtle about how he'll pleasure you. You did the right thing. :-)
