I am anxious to meet my new date, Pat, on Friday. I couldn't recall all his specifics (what he does for work, where he lives, his age, if he only dates girls with multiple body piercings) so of course I went to visit his profile. I am so screwed because it is not available! What does that even mean? I don't think this Friday will go anywhere near as smooth as last Friday. He and I have not spoken on the phone and have no plan to do so and now I can't even start a conversation about his job because I have no idea what it is! I have information overload from all these profiles. If anyone is thinking of setting up their own online dating service I would aim for a 'keep it simple, stupid' philosophy.
I am glad that he is very cut and dry about the whole thing. We've exchanged about 3 emails (I had to make sure he wasn't a Yankees fan) and now we'll meet. None of the back and forth stuff. I like that.
Chemistry.com has been sending me possible matches from what seems like the entire East Coast. One from Philly and even one from Connecticut. Perhaps they are sending me a message like "We are doing the best we can but you aren't being cooperative so we had to extend the search."
I never heard from the mechanic. I don't think he had white down as a possible match for him so I should have seen that one coming. I am disappointed but hopefully more men in the automotive world are on their way to.

Here are some of the Date Lab questions and what I answered- I can't change them now!
Q. What was your worst date?
Q. In what ways do you hope that your date differs from you?
A. I hope that he has a lot of common sense to make up for all the flakiness I have. I can't tell you how many times I have lost my keys while shopping in a mall!
Q. Pitch your dating history as a TV show
A. Look Out! This petite powerhouse is off and dating. Join us for an inside look at the men she meets- from one that's as slick as a can of oil to another with 3 roommates, no car yet feels he is her soul mate. It could keep you laughing (or crying if you too are trying to date) for hours.
Q. What makes you a good catch?
A. Me? What doesn't make me a good catch? I am cute, kind and loyal. I enjoy sports though I am a fan of Boston-based sports teams. Carry-on size baggage (thanks for this one Lisa)!
Q. How do you usually meet your dates?
A. I either met them online or in a bar. Unfortunately dating has turned into me spending time with my computer and the only warm feeling I get is from my MacBook battery on my lap.
