***************************
Apparently, unless I explicitly cancel my membership to the online dating service of choice, it auto-renews. So I've turned that matching right back on until February 28th. That's right. One more month of this crap. ;) Yesterday I got 8 matches that weren't all that impressive. Is that mean? I really just mean they weren't the kind of guy I'm looking for.

Closed matches: 513

That's right, there are at least 513 men in my area that this service thinks I might be interested in, but it just hasn't worked out. That is a LOT of men.

I'm still amazed at how many men you can 'go through' and still not meet a guy for keeps. Just amazing. Of course, some of them might look bad on paper and be much better in person.... but still, just really surprising. I keep thinking, what if you'd had to go through that many without a dating service? Just crazy to fathom.

I know...I am pretty relaxed with some of my requirements, but can still get up to 8 matches a day?! They live within 60 miles probably and not alllll in the city, but still. That's a lot of single people out there, even if you take into account some number of people who lie! :)
