My Life is a Joke and I'm the Punch Line

Well, within 48 hours of being on an online dating site, my x-husband found me and emailed me with a subject line that said, “Oh my God you look like my X!”  Life is a joke and I seem to be the punch line…  Should I tell him he looks better without his glasses and that his profile has a hint of anger to it?  Nah!  Women like a fixer-upper :).

I’ve been trying to get through profiles, emails, winks, favorites, likes, and there are just too many sources for information.  I feel like I walked into the Walmart of the dating world.  It feels a little grimy, there are a lot of crazies, there are too many choices, and is the clearance section even worth looking at?  

I set up a few coffee dates for the week.  However, they both suggested meeting at the SAME. EXACT. RESTAURANT.  I will be going to “Restaurant X” for coffee dates on consecutive days.  I feel like I should have some moral epiphany about going on back to back dates at the same exact place.  But no.  Restaurant X is also the place of my first date with my last boyfriend, so I’ve decided to do a social experiment.  Going to Restaurant X with Online Date #1 and Online Date #2 will either tell me that the restaurant is a place where royal douchebags like to go, or just that my last boyfriend was a royal douchebag.  I think we all know the answer to that one.  And I’m really hoping that Restaurant X changes their staff on a daily basis.
