$eek your Match!

My mouse hovered over the submit button. I had updated my old match.com profile, though I never committed to buying the service. This is a new year, and while I'm feeling comfortable and content in my own skin for the moment I recognize that good things happen to those who try. The initial offering price is reasonable, but they want all six months payment up front.

My mouse moved up to the X in the corner of my screen and clicked on it.

It is tempting to try something new, and even advisable considering the state of the scene, but financially I feel better putting off the Active Search for a month or two. Once a few big hurdles are out of the way, and once my savings starts to grow (and when my taxes arrive) I'll take the big plunge. The Christmas cash I received will be better spent helping me fly to San Francisco for a end of winter adventure, maybe allowing for a jaunt to L.A. as well?

I'm totally curious about your profile on OKC, lol. I'm always interested to see how my friends and I "match" up, so to speak.

I've been on there for years but I only started really using it a few months before I found Kai on there. I've been using it since being out here, and I get contacted by lots of people, but it's not really going anywhere lately.

I guess my point in saying that is I'm all manner of weird, and quirky, and other things that make me not your "average" lady. Dating is a numbers game. [livejournal.com profile] braxana said that to me a long time ago, and it's the truth. You only get a small return on your investment a lot of the time, but the more you put in the more you can expect to get back in return.
