A Shot at Love

Earlier this year my friends talked me into joining match.com. I started in March and cancelled my membership in December. Unfortunately I was not lucky enough to find someone on there like a few of my friends. I did however meet some interesting people and not all interesting in a good way. The first guy I met was Steve. I liked Steve. We went on about five dates and then he stopped calling... that was a hard one. I think I was just starting to let myself really like him. Next up I meat Art. Art was super duper nice and pretty cute. He was just a little bit too open w/ his emotions and I just couldn't handle that. And he really didn't know how to date. He asked me "What do I do next!" That was a total turnoff. He was a good guy though and we still email each other every once in awhile.


My next shot at meeting someone was Andy. First impression was he was very attractive. After talking to him for five mins I was ready to walk out the restaurants door. I don't know how to explain it but his face make the most unusual expressions... plus he didn't ask anything about me until like over an hour into our conversation. He definitely didn't get a second date. After Andy was Bobby. I was a little bit let down by Bobby's appearance. He looked much different from the pics he had on his profile. I think that he gained about 50 lbs. Not that that alone was going to stop me from seeing him. He also seemed to be gay. That was a little too hard to deal w/.


By this point I was starting to give up. Then someone I had emailed w/ in the beginning of my membership emailed me again. His name was Vito. Red flags should have gone up right there for me. Yes he was 100% Italian. If you know me you would know that I have always warned my friends not to date an Italian. I thought I would give him a shot though. I was trying to be as open as possible. I went on a few dates w/ Vito even after a kinda bad impression from our first date. He was very good looking but he totally had that "I'm the man and you are the women" thing doing. He was basically looking for someone to take over from his mom taking care of him... Not for me. I finally decided that it was time to quit looking.
