The Dot Com Miner

Look, I’m not a mass-produced cheesball bachelor, traditionally accustomed to sitting at home alone like a spoil sport. I’d wager you probably never heard me post about great dating and relationships. No surprise.

Datelessness is a fixable quality and totally missing from my values. However, Winter of 09 was an exception, I definitely needed to put the breaks on a solid cohabitation that meant something to me but essentially carried on to nowhere. I guess you would tell ya it may have been a good since I dated. I don’t have the great expectations I once did.

I’m not used to being single. I know one thing, I don’t know how to lounge about, faithfully binging on Star Trek Enterprise on my big screen. The primary reason for this case of weekend dating loneliness? This isn’t college, and most ladies I meet at work are taken.

My one-time college buddy, Jim, who has never had dating lameness, informed me he’s now somewhere he can relate. He introduced me to this Dallas dating service called Great Expectations. I can’t argue with introductions with new singles who meet my values. So I decided to make a change and joined.

Keep it real, you wouldn’t feel down by being alone when you haven’t even put yourself into the game. Like our old football coach Chris Jennings told me between war stories, “If you don’t run you can’t score, Jeff.”

So he was divorced 4 times. Still, he was truly a wise sould without being self-righteous. He was good humored. This care-free series of singles events in Dallas here might’ve done a number on his shiny bald head.
