Keep hope alive

Today I got a notification that someone wanted to initiate a phone call with me through the dating website. I'll admit, I did get a little rush of excitement that someone was interested. Let me tell you, after a few weeks of nothing, it was nice to have some "action". So I log onto the site and....it's some 50 year old balding man. Uh...no thanks.

But because hope springs eternal, I take the time to go through the daily connections that are sent to me. As I open up one profile, this is what I read:

I'AM A FUN LOVING KIND MAN I TRY TO ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLLESS AM WORKING ON BEING A CHIRSTAIN AM YOUNG I USELY DATE OLDER WOMAN NONE REALLY MY AGE I'AM 34 YRS OLE I JUST TRY TO ENJOY LIFE IT'S SELF I LIKE KIDS A WHOLE LOT IVE HAVE SOME MYSLF,I STAY FARAWAY FROM DRAMA I DONT LIKE THAT STUFF IN MY LIFE AND DNT NEEDOR WONT IT.AM VERY PRIVATE AND LIKE TO GO OUT BUT NOT TO CLUBS OR HOUSE PARTYS I RATHER STAY HOME IF I HAVE TO DO ALL THAT.I LOVE TO GO FISHING IN MY SPEAR TIME ALSO AND HOPE THAT I CAN FIND A FRIEND THAT WILL ENJOY DOING SOME OF THE SAME THINGS I DO THANK YOU TONY

*SIGH* It's posts like these that just make me tired. It's one thing not to be able to carry on a conversation when you have to think on your feet (not a quality I would accept in a mate, but I understand how that can be difficult for some people). But it's entirely different when this is in a post...run the frigging spell check for crying out loud!! The grammar (or lack thereof) makes my head hurt! And explain to me how he likes to go out but would rather stay home?? Which is it buddy?? Now typically I don't put full names in my blog, but if this guy is going to have his name blasted all over the dating site, then who am I to stop him? I did him a favor by removing his last name. Consider it my good deed for the evening.

I'm not quite ready to give up hope yet, but days like today make throwing in the towel seem like an attractive option. There's always tomorrow though, right?
