$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 use(d) OKCupid. It's free so long as you want it to be, and I think it's comparable or maybe even better than Match simply because of the fact that they are free. Maybe give that a go first?

I found Kai on OKC. Double edged sword for sure... but I loved him very much.

Also, if you do happen to make it out to SF I would love to see you and maybe get dinner. :)

I'm doing Match & PlentyOfFish. I think, like most things, it definitely has a lot to do with the amount of effort you put into it and where your head's at the time you are doing so. I've had a few emails and a date or 2. Getting into 2011 I'm going to be putting more energy out there and seeing what comes back for it. At least it's getting me out of the house :)

Good luck & if you want to compare date stories ... anytime ;P
