Asking for it?
Guess what?
What, you didn’t guess? 
I’ve decided to put a new profile up The Polar Express film Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz on two online dating sites. Can you believe it? Check out the profile above, if you like… Tell me what you think!
I can’t believe I’m resorting to the online dating sites, again. But, I have decided that I need to be out dating, and meeting new guys. Quite frankly, I don’t want to be single forever, and my door isn’t being beaten down by suitors that I’m meeting in my daily life. But… I’m done with the gong shows of the past. I’m sure I’ll have more crappy dates, but, I’ve decided to change how I go about the process somewhat, which will hopefully result in better dating experiences.
Starting with… My resolve to not get too excited about any one person. No matter how wonderful they seem to be online, or even on the first date.
Also? I’m going to be a lot more selective with the men I choose to meet, even for a drink. As much as I dislike endless messages back and forth, I’m going to insist that we share several messages before I choose to meet anyone. I think that will reduce the number of gong-show experiences going forward!
So, watch this space for more (hopefully positive) dating stories. I’m sure I’ll have a few interesting experiences to share!
Your turn: Do you think I’m crazy? If you were me, how would you go about meeting eligible, local men?

nope not crazy. I think it’s okay to be extra picky when following the online route. It’s also works well to “dabble” in a few things (online dating, skiing, hang with friends, meet someone through co-workers etc…). The randomness, for whatever reason tends to have a “bubble up” effect enabling one to meet people that they wouldn’t have met before, and that increases your networking opportunities on the singles scene.

Not at all crazy – it can be hard to meet men. Nothing wrong with online dating. I’ve also heard that joining sporting activities gets you out there where the men are. Softball is the best – folks always go for drinks after, the games are usually casual, and if you don’t meet the man of your dreams, you can make new friends who just might have a single friend who is perfect for you!
You know Tanya, it’s funny how I asked a question related to dating… I didn’t know you had just updated your profiles! I am at a loss in regards to dating. To be quite honest, I need a better job first and THEN think about dating. But sometimes I kind of think that I could really do with a partner
All the best in the dating game!

I don’t think you are crazy at all. (POF is how I met Mr. Maybe after reading Why Mr. Right Can’t Find You)

Not at all crazy. I didn’t meet my hubbie on a dating site, but I know several people who have. I saw that you mentioned “non religious,” I am also in that category, and I felt like it hindered me a bit. I’m glad you are still hopeful, your profile looks and sounds great. Just for the record, I started dating hubby when I was 39–and married him at 41.

you’re crazy. i’m only saying this because everyone else thinks you aren’t crazy. I can’t believe you lied about not having kids on your profile. Sheesh. They’re going to find out you know.

Hey Tanya,
Interesting post. I actually own a dating website for golfers.
Most of our members are from the US but we have a fair number of golfers in BC.
If I were a single woman and wanted to meet men – head on over to a local golf course.
On the course that I normally play (www.HumberValley.com) there are many more men then women. This is usually the case for most of the golf courses.
The single female golfers that sign up for our site have lots of potential male golfers to meet up with. Then again, this is generally true for most online dating websites.
I’ve always described meeting people on online dating websites like meeting people in a bar or at Starbucks. There are nice people and there are not so nice people.
All the best.
GK
I don’t think it’s crazy. I tried it. Of course, at this point, it might be worth pointing out that I am still single. But on the bright side, I have some hilarious stories….
I’m not sure how to go about this. But I am not sure that I want to put the effort in it, either! Don’t really know what advice to offer. I do believe that you’re a wonderful woman and that you’ll find someone. IF (and this is the important IF) you want to find that person

Patricia: Yep, I sometimes wish I worked for a large corporation, where there would be a dating pool. But, I work with 4 other people. Heh. I do get out to activities, but most that are out there are WAYYY younger than me.
Thanks Shnewt… I can always count on you to make me feel better
Hey Gary, thanks for chiming in! That isn’t a half-bad idea. Maybe some cute single golfer-boy will *help* me with my horrendously bad swing. I totally suck!
Laurie… Heh. I remember your stories from years ago. Holy, you had some crazy men stories!
Raul, Hmm… I wouldn’t be posting a dating profile if I wasn’t serious about dating!
Well, for what it’s worth, I’d certainly go out with you. I’ve tried the online sites before but never had any luck. I live in too small a town to get decent matches.
