Yep, eHarmony is free from now until Jan 3rd. So get your single friends to put their profiles on there! I need me some matches. I have no new matches (!) and that’s just rude. So, tell all your friends. Especially you UUs who come here! Go on! Do your part to bring peace, love, and harmony to the world and help me get a date already!

I just got an email from my first boyfriend, who found me on facebook. He was one of those boyfriends who take about 10 years to get over. Good thing its been about 17 years now!
I’m happy to report that he and his wife and his children and his extended family are healthy and happy. AND he has a great job that he loves.
I mean, yeah, that sounds great, if you want to go that traditional route. If you’re into love, money, happiness and that sort of thing, sure, good for you.
Thank GOD he wasn’t writing to say he missed me or anything like that. That would have been so awkward. Then I would have had to tell him- hey, I haven’t dated in years, I’m not about to start now. I’m poor, jobless, sleep alone, and yearn for children I may never have and I like it that way!
I’m also glad he didn’t write to apologize for something he REALLY, REALLY (you would agree with me if you knew) needs to apologize for. That would be so Lifetime movie of him. What a drag that would have been.
Then I might have had to tell him that I still love him. And that even though he looks like his father and not the triathlete he once was, when I looked at his face in the picture, I could actually feel on my hand what that ridge on his forehead feels like. And that after he wrote me the first time a couple weeks ago, I dreamed a sad dream about him. And then I might have had to ask him, even though he just told me a couple paragraphs ago, if he misses me.
And theeeennnn it would be this horrible thing, like in my dream, where I had to decide between him and this other man who is not chasing me. And that would be such a hard decision: married man with kids who is perfectly happy in his own life who I really loved and had a great relationship with in some ways but who did something very bad and everyone if they knew would say of course I should never, never even talk to him again, OR an extremely immature man who has deep emotional problems who I did not have a good relationship with but who I had a lot of fun with and who I still love who is not pursuing me and even when he was it was not very satisfying. Who to choose? Who to choose?
After dating probably nearly a hundred men, these are the two men, (ok, plus one other who I only miss as a friend) who I miss.
What a draaaaggggggg. Thank goodness, that in this same week, one of them emailed me after 8 years of no contact, and the other one was at the store in my neighborhood to bring this all to my conscious attention. How fun! I mean, what on earth would I have blogged about today if not unfulfilled love and dreams that didn’t come to fruition? And lets not forget wasted years.

Are you living somewhere that is women friendly? Where is it?
I’m open to hearing about the best countries, best cities, best states, etc…
My criteria:
- women in positions of power (in government, women owned business, pay equity…)
- high health (low STD’s, low cancer rates)
- good levels of education
- child friendly
- For me right now: good place to meet down to earth, smart, good, capable single men.
I was looking up this question online and came across several links:
Quotes about good places to meet people from http://www.city-data.com:
Candygirl356 has these encouraging words:
I lived, and dated, and met my husband, in New York City. There is 9 million people there.
I also had friends who never met anyone they liked why is that? Maybe you should broaden your activities and circle of friends etc…… Try to “open” yourself up a bit.I dated various types of men from various backrounds living again various lifestyles, which was the best suggestion I have, actually go out there and date, it can be really awkward, and cool too….maybe making a list of the top 3 things you really want in a mate.
I met my husband at 35 years of age after kissing alot of frogs…..
