    May 7th, 2009

    common sense i know, but given that i see dating profiles every day, it’s really amazing how bizarre some of the profiles are.

    as you’ll know (because i’ve harped on about it so damn much!), i’m now in windsor, settled and happy, thanks to you all for your well wishes. as research for the new role, i took it upon myself to undertake in-depth research and i thought it only fair to share my findings with you…

    intimate details of the new age single girl

    ok ok, so i know that this is harsh and probably not something that i should be doing, but here goes…

    i’ll first make things better by making a bit of a confession. having been single for a while, i was discussing the situation with my friends - explaining that bars just aren’t the right places to find someone and when you work for a small company you’re never going to find someone in work. it was at this point that one of my friends suggested i try an online dating site. now, i’m aware of the stigma attached to those sites and i said no at least for the first 8 times she suggested it.

    on the 9th time though i broke and agreed to sign up to a site, but refused to post a proper profile or a picture. i just wanted to be nosy and have a gander. 5 minutes after signing up i get an email from the chap above telling my how pretty my picture is and he can’t believe that i’m single.

    worried that i had accidentally posted a picture, i check my profile and there’s definitely nothing there. then i read the email again and it’s very generic which is when it struck me that it was an email he was cutting and pasting to all of the girls on the site. needless to say i didn’t respond.

    so here’s a word of warning for all of you guys and girls out there - if you’re going to send a generic email, check the content first and make sure it’s relevant and if you really want to push the boat out, maybe even use their name… on a side note, having posters on your walls (including one of ghostbusters and another of a girl in a bikini) is never going to help your case.

    i think i’d rather remain single thanks - the quickest signup and withdrawal from a site ever :)
