Reflections on Match.com
It ultimately isn't for me. And I'm going to be fair, it can be a great thing. But I'm too picky and too religious to use it successfully. Religion is a very important part of my life, and while I have my own issues which you see on display, at my core I love and trust my God to provide for me, no matter how frustrated I feel at any given time. My frustrations get balanced out by the peace that that knowledge brings, and makes life more tenable. Anyway, another thing is that you have to love people as they are. I don't wish to change any man. Only God changes people. I might be an instrumentality of God, and I believe that we all are instrumentalities of God. But people are so vastly different, that you have to learn tolerance. Tolerance in the sense that you accept and respect that they are different, but do not have to share the same belief. So, because I am looking for something fairly specific in a man, I don't feel that Match will really work for me. I'm looking for the right mix of Christian with looks, charm, yadda yadda. Terribly picky, I know. But I am just too blunt to not be real - if I don't feel some chemistry, it is just not gonna happen! And I can't deal with stoopid people. ;) Rather, I want someone who is on my level and shares my interests, someone that I can feel free talk to. Does this guy even exist? Maybe, but he's usually interested only in blonde SWFs. ... Le ... *gack* I won't say it... dang you, Jinxy... Sometimes it really does feel like I might die alone. But I have faith that if it's right, it's going to happen. And where there is life, there is hope. I suppose there is hope for finding someone on Match.com too, but I tell ya, it's just a needless source of stress for me and there are too many offline ways to meet men to add any more stress in my life. So, bye bye Match. Fare thee well.

It seems you may have to find him in a *gasp* church. Found one you like yet?

I know, news flash, right?
I have been so tired that I haven't put any energy into finding a good church home with young people yet.
I really will work on it, it's been on my mind.

Rats, I guess I have to take myself off the list then...

*has been holding her tongue but can't stand it anymore*
Yeah Dan, from our pretend date in Vegas to my limited understanding of this wonderfully faith oriented person Siryn...I would say that would be quite a challenging thing to overcome-for her. She doesn't belong in your collection.
Friends, though? Absolutely.
