I haven't been dating recently as I just didn't have the energy for all the foolishness. Good luck! And I totally agree about the aliens. ;-) Hi Monique – It really is maddening. I haven’t been dating recently as I just didn’t have the energy for all the foolishness.

Good luck!

And I totally agree about the aliens. ;-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you look up dating in the dictionary it probably now has an added definition of "a necessary evil." Unfortunately, misery DOES love company, so it is comforting to read that other people are going through what I'm experiencing. I think I need my internal compass reset as I am an intelligent, grounded person (blah, blah, blah), yet apparently I am unable to tell if a date has gone well or not. Or maybe I am living in a different reality, goodness knows. But it is INCREDIBLY frustrating when I spend four to five hours on a date that seems to have all the right components and the chemistry is there, plans are made for another get-together, and then the person either drops off the face of the earth, gets abducted by aliens, or, do you think, could just really be a serial dater or a liar? No way! The alien theory is much more likely... OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It just seems sometimes that everyone else is part of a happy couple ;-) My article might not encourage online dating but I still think it's worth trying. Hi Davina – A lot of us are out there.

What a great read. Though I'm still single, I don't feel so alone in my search now. So many of these I GET loud and clear; especially the "I'll call you tomorrow" and "The Mismatch".

It's one of those things that's funny now but wasn't so funny at the time. I've since met a nice-ish guy so am seeing how that works out and haven't been on so many wacky dates lately.

You have observed the things greatly... and I don't think that you are not normal, every person has his own way of living life so that doesn't meant that you are not normal.

As you rightly said most people are obsessed with the measures and the physical things first... I wish you good luck in finding the right kind of people in your life. Cheers...
