3 Guys Named Chris In 3 Weeks

I can honestly say I'd never dated a single guy named Chris before 2013.  I have experienced some not so great encounters with guys named Chris in the past, so perhaps that is why I never wanted to date a man named Chris.  However, I decided that was silly this year. 

I was approached by 3 different guys named Chris since the beginning of January.  Since they all seemed like good guys, I thought, "This must mean something!  I am supposed to be a with a man named Chris!"  Turns out, no, it did not mean that at all.

I went out with a Chris a week.  So basically, I dated 3 guys named Chris in 3 weeks.  It turns out, it really did not work out with either of them.  One of them was an Elvis impersonator (no, I am not kidding) and just not my type.  I decided one of the other guys could very well be totally nuts and out to kill me.  The other Chris was pretty cool, but abruptly stopped talking to me.  Sigh... scared another man away!

Oh well.  For now, I am going to have a strict anti-Chris rule.  I need to date other guys NOT named Chris.  My experiences were not so great, but hey, not that many people can say they dated 3 dudes named Chris in 3 weeks, so I guess it was worth it.

Back to POF

So the day finally came...  just like everyone in my life knew it would happen... I am back on Plenty of Fish.  After a couple of months of frustration with Match, I went back to POF, which is easier to use with plenty more options.

Within 2 hours, I already had more emails sent to me by different men than I had the entire 2 months of using Match.  Now I am not going to say they are all the best quality, but neither were all the messages on Match either.  It is nice to be able to choose from a wider variety of guys as far as dating options go.

So far, I've already gone out with one guy I met on Plenty of Fish and have another date set up with a different guy, and I only rejoined last Tuesday.  The guy I just met yesterday was actually super creepy and I am just happy to say I survived the experience.  I certainly hope the next guy is better!

For now I am pretty happy with my decision to return to Plenty of Fish.  I created an entirely new profile with a new screen name, so I have managed to avoid talking to some of the same creepy dudes for the past.  However, a couple have already found me again and they are blocked again.  Sigh.  Some things never change!

Happy New Year!

Now that the holiday season is finally over, it is time to start focusing on making online dating work again.  Yes, the dreaded day has arrived.  Although I have been using Match.com for over a month, I've only went out with 2 guys.  Let's see how the site works now that the holiday season has ended.  I have a theory that everyone was too busy for the past month, but we'll see how it measures up now.  It might be time to give Plenty of Fish a try again!

For now, let us focus on the new year and let's be happy that 2012 is over.  Happy New Year!  Best of luck for finding better dates in 2013!
