Online Dating In The City

I went on a date with a guy I met on Coffee Meets Bagel. On the app, we had great conversation, one time we spent the whole day talking to each other instead of working. He seemed like a really nice guy and the pictures of him weren't bad. We talked everyday, during work, after work. So, I thought we should meet. We met on Sunday (yesterday), I was DEAD tired, but when I tried to reschedule for the following day, he said he had plans. I had already blown this guy off twice, and I wasn't going to do it again. I learned my lesson from the "Author" ( Money Over Happiness ), I didn't want to find out he found someone else and have a missed opportunity. I got my hair done (not for the date, my friend/stylist is going on mat leave) and I got a facial (not for the date, it was my scheduled routine facial time). So, I thought, I shouldn't waste this glam look. So, I hauled my ass, got the TTC stench off and got ready to meet Mr. Frenchie. Specs: Chinese born Fre...

So, my aunt, I guess she is still asking around to see if any of her friend's friend have a single son. My parent took me out to dinner one day and told me that my aunt may have found someone for me. They told me, there is a guy, who is balding, I stopped them right then and there. I asked them if he was balding OR if his hair was receding. They changed their answer to receding, I should have gone with my gut instinct, that he was actually balding and my parents changed their answer to receding hairline because they knew hair is important to me. Anyways, fast forward the guy emailed me. He seemed to be very polite, he seemed pretty cool. Specs: Second Generation Korean Graduated from Western in Business 38 years old Super Christian, went to LA to see a speaker Owns a own business (health food store, I think taking over from parents) We like the same Tupac quote, I thought we were meant to me. I actually had high hopes for this guy.  I was a little late, to...

As Mama Jo actively seeks out for my potential husband on eHarmony, she is realizing that the quality of the men are going down and the lack of response is equal to the free sites. I called eHarmony to complain about the lack of response and they told me that I was outside of my cancellation period. They said they were going to to give one more free month, so, I told them, what is the point of having an extra month, when no one is messaging back? They said I was a special circumstance. I have a theory that eHarmony doesn't have a lot of people on their sites and the people that on are robots. OR these men have registered for free, and to respond back, they need to pay, and they are not paying. I have been very dissatisfied with eHarmony!

Mama Jo sent me on a second date. I call this guy a Fake Vet. The only reason why Mama Jo messaged him was because he was a Veterinarian. Specs: Korean Veternarian 42 years old The date didn't start off great. While setting up for the date I told Mama Jo to tell Fake Vet which Starbucks to meet at. I was very specific with my directions, but Mama Jo insisted on an address. She looked up an address of a Starbucks, but I didn't check whether it was the correct address. You know where this is going, yes Mama Jo gave the guy the wrong address. Fast forward to date day. I rushed to the Starbucks (the one that I wanted to meet at) and I messaged him to let him know I was there. He messaged back and said he was there too. At that moment, I googled to see which Starbucks he was at, it turns out he was all the way across town. The reason why I chose the Starbucks that I did, was because I wanted to make it easier for him, as he was coming from far. When I got there, I apolog...

After a week on Eharmony Mama Jo had lined up a guy, I had agreed to meet him. BUT she found another guy who thought was going to be my husband. Specs: 36 years old Works in IT at a Commercial Property Firm Lives in Aurora From hereto, known as Aurora. Mama Jo thought he was sweet and genuine guy who would cherish the woman he is with. I completely agree with her, but I do not think he is for me. The initial conversation was great. He had chosen Terroni to meet, but being on a diet for the past 4 weeks, it is hard to find food you can eat at an Italian restaurant, especially when you LOVE pasta. But luckily Terroni had a great salad (Nazzarda).  He was confused because Mama Jo wrote how I love food, which I do, but Mama Jo loves food more. Then I explained how I have been on a diet and I am seeing a trainer. I also mentioned what my cheat meals are, and he said that is what he eats on a weekly basis. On a weekly basis, he orders $80 worth of sushi for himself, o...

So, instead you will get three events in this one post. First Event - Money over happiness  It is a known fact that I work a lot (hence mama Jo helping me find dates on the internet). One night after working 10 hours I decided to unwind by watching TV and having a glass of wine. There was nothing good on TV so I decided to open my Tinder app. I know! I know! Tinder is an app for hook ups, but I was bored and just wanted to swipe. Swiping on Tinder is like a game, it is addicting.  Anyways my first swipe I was matched with a guy. Spec: 44 years old Author - wrote a self help book to help Executives organize and balance their lives Lives Downtown  Professional organization coach? (Not sure what to call him. Separated for 18 months, married for 17 years From hereto, I will be referring to him as the "Self Help", as I doubt I would meet another self help author. Self Help and I hit it off on Tinder, so we exchanged numbers and started texting. He seemed...

Earlier I wrote how I didn't want to write about the marathon runner because I thought there was going to be a second date. Why did I think that? The first date wasn't bad, it wasn't the greatest, but it was definitely better than the last date I went on. Specs Tall Great job, he is a Civil Engineer Introvert (according to mama Jo that is a great quality in a husband) Has passion for running - having passion for something is a good quality Mama Jo was convinced this was my future husband. He mentioned he was an introvert, but said once he got to know the person he opens up. Talking to this guy on text was like pulling teeth. It was so painful! Not only were the conversations boring, it wasn't going anyways. He asked me, since I work so much how would I find time to date? I told him if I was interested in the guy I would make dating my priority. He then responded, "You do realize given your looks and body any guy will want to be with you a lot". I rep...

I work 6-7 days a week. I barely have time to cook let alone commit myself to online dating. My friend mama Jo (she is actually only a year older than me) has agreed to online date on my behalf. The reason why she works as suppose to my friends who have tried is because she is fully committed. She is happily married and has a job, she is a successful VP at a large corporation, but has committed herself to my well being over her job. Mama Jo talks to these prospects on my behalf, once they show interest mama Jo tells me, and then I log onto the site and read their profiles and the conversations. If they seem interesting I agree to meet them. I trust mama Jo's taste in guys in terms of looks, job, and husband material qualities. My first date mama Jo set up I went on, was with a marathon runner with a great job, but I won't go into that in case there is a second date. Yesterday I went on another date set up by mama Jo. She had forewarned me, "this guy is not husband mate...
