could the gods of dating....and the presumptions of internet dating...be smiling down upon me?
i mean...when does "too good to be true" become.....true?
a little background?! LETS!!
as most of you know....i am an un-proud member, much like the rest of the jewish population of the united states of america, of.....the jdate
*moment of silence for my dignity please......*
right. so....i'm on it. why? it keeps my parents off my back seeing as i never have dated a jewish guy, and am rather happy with that fact....so! in an effort to keep my parents from always saying i never put effort into meeting jews i acquiecsed, and myself (along with my brother) have jumped on the jew bandwagon...yeeeeee haw.
except..i really don't bother with the site. it amuses the shit out of me how short and ugly my people are....and how middle aged men seem to think that they have a shot with me because we share a common factor of jew. more amusing? the fact that people on there are on there predominately to get married...and they don't care who it is, per se, as long as they are jewish and not grotesque (which is asking a lot..seriously...browse that site...it's killer on the eyes man).
so i log-in to respond with the boiler plate response of "sorry, not interested" to all the e-mails i get, and check out who looked at me...and then i log out. occassionally ryan will log in to check out women folk....and that's about all the use i get out of that site.
(for those who keep track at home i have met all of two people from that site..and am friends with those two people...and those meetings were never "dates", it was kind of understood it was a "i just moved here, and i'd like to do more than stare at my walls" on both parts...so hey..whatever)
so, on friday..while i logged in to engage in the standard chain of let-downs and laughing....i got an im from someone on the site. always one for amusement, i decided to chit chat..figuring that..hey? if this turns out to be a psycho wierdo like most of the people on that site seem to be...i can post it here for all you lovely people to read and laugh at....(and admit it..you love me for having no shame or tact and posting that shit)....
except...this guy was pretty normal....my age.....and tall....6'4'' to be exact. he's a triathlete, a phd in bio with aspirations to be a vet....rather funny...pretty open minded.....
so whatever..we talked...and i had to go watch tv with my homo friend upstairs..so..i said goodbye, gave him my aim..and that was that...until i got home a half hour later becaue said homo friend decided to invite his significant other over, and as much fun as it is to hang out with gay guys...gay guys in a fledgling relationship and all about the puppy love shit..i just don't need to see/hear/be around. and it has nothing to do with the fact they're gay....i hate it when anyone does that shit around me.
thus, at 11:45 on a fuckin' friday night...i signed onto aim..and viola. im from him. apparently his plans fell through too. yada yada yada..we talked 'til like 2am....
and then all day saturday....along with a 3 hour phone call....
and then all day sunday....
and for three hours tonight, and a two hours on the phone...
now. let me just put this on the table: I HATE TALKING ON THE PHONE! hate it! nothing else i hate more than talking on a fuckin phone..why? because it limits me. chit chatting online is fine because i can do about forty other things and not miss a beat in the conversation because there is a lovely scroll feature.....there is no scroll feature on a phone..so i kind of have to limit myself to doing three or four things....and if i miss one thing, i'm kind of lost for a chunk of a conversation..and thus, i just stop paying attention to them alltogether...NOT GOOD!
alrighty then....back to..well..him. he's cool. he's sweet. he's insanely attentive....he is seemingly too good to be true....and aside from the only drawback of him living 2 hours away....i'm not seeing anything other than...he rocks.
this is me people! i find something wrong with everyone and everything!
so, it's kind of on me...the whole "meeting" thing..because i'm the girl (rather chivalrous of him, no?)..and, seeing as this is me...i have a million and one reservation and everything in my head is yelling at me to run away like a little girl and just stick with the what i got: nothing.
but this is a new year...and it is one of my resolutions to be a little more open to the idea of actually including someone in my life that is worthwhile and more than just someone to have sex with and is merely a fling...
so...can "too good to be true"...really become true? or is it all some kind of farcical fairytale all girls (and a lot of guys) seem to subscribe to in an effort to garnish some kind of hope for the seemingly dismal future of loneliness that is staring back at us as we peer into the barrel of the gun that is our lives?

well, I'm hoping the thing that breaks his being "too good to be true" isn't something passé like serial killer.
it's always nice to connect with another person, especially when that person look good and is of the opposite sex! LOL
i'll keep my fingers crossed for you, dahlink.
the weather pixie lies!!! it's 33 and hailing outside....
uch!! she blows!!
damn that pixie!
the newspaper's website the other day had Guam at 38°F for some reason .. but "relative feel of 88°F" ... LOL
i haven't decided murph
and don't fuck with me...i've been up since 5am....i'm in the most boring class known to man from 9-11...and i can't afford to buy my books at the moment because I SUCK.
goddamnit.
and he's into all that :)
I say stop thinking and try it out... worst that could happen? He'll be a schlep and you never have to see him again.
Right?
Yes, be one with the jewish force... feel the jew-kharma gods at work honey...
so far he's everything you ever asked for, so... ummmm. Could it be that finally you just MIGHT be nose-diving into a situation you deserve?
May the force be with you... always.
db, as a member of the Jewish population, I too am on Jdate for the exact same reasons as you. The lack of Jewish men in my life has put a strain on my grandpa!!!! Oye Vey.
I have met only one person from the site...and let me tell you, it was worth it. You should go for it.
Its rare to find a nice guy, let alone a nice Jewish guy. Although the guy I met from Jdate wasnt Jewish so I guess it defeated the entire purpose of Jdate. None the less, it never hurts to try.
Good luck lady!!! Hey just think, if it sucks, you can at least come home and make yourself a great drink.
i can't believe this. you're in love. i think i might have to drop you as my e-ho. i feel dirty now.
murph....two hours straight east...think about it
yea nothing ventured nothing gained...but honestly? the last thing i need is another long distance thing....i had enough fun with that and all the joys and goodies it brought me. such highlights include:
being ignored
being cheated on
not seeing the asshole for weeks upon weeks at a time
and me putting all the effort into it.
snarf.
in other news, i'm getting sick. wtf?!!
oh..and lozo....getting you back for that vomit mix-up you had with that leilei chick.
you ho!
i used to never get sick....wtf? and i think it has more to do with the fact i sleep maybe 5 hours a week than the fact i'm a floozy...
that, and i'm out of allergy pills and thanks to mail-order druga's...mine got sent to my parents instead of me..so i've been without them for a week while they fix the order and send them to the right place. idiots.
A 6'4" triathalete and aspiring vet? On the INTERNET? That's exactly what I would tell people if I were a 58 year-old registered sex offender with an affinity for eating cats.
Fraujewlency!
no time to read the comments but dude
he sounds delish
meet in a safe and public place and follow all the careful bullshit though :)
6'4" is way too tall to be working with animals.
