Cookin' and Datin'

So I've decided to try another dating service. Match.com did get me one good date, which I guess is more than the $1800 one did four years ago. I had to take a 45 minute personality profile from eHarmony.com. So far 3 out of 6 women it has found have been teachers and 1 has been too far away(south of Dallas) - so I closed those. I blame my mom for making my personality match teachers. I guess my personality matches them, but my experience deters the match. Leaving me 2 out of 6. As usual their profiles seem somewhat deceptive. One of them stresses that she can take care of kids and cook. It's like their applying for the job of my wife. There needs to be a checkbox that says "not looking for marriage". Granted I will probably be the last person to get married, but I am soo fine with that. I am usually too busy and enjoy life too much to have to comprimise anything. I still wouldn't mind dates or just a girlfriend that just wants to have fun. I find it amazing also how some of their profiles stress how they love to shop. As a guy that scares me, I get a high maintenance kinda feeling about that. I watched the end of the Miss USA contest the other night. Those are the kinda girls I want(if you wanna talk about high maintenance). I remember watching it all as a kid thinking, "they are hot" and getting the ole societal view of women from that. Now I suppose my mind thinks of women like that as the ones to get. Reality is I should try em all. Although I am more of a window shopper than someone who tries something on. Who knows, maybe a cook is just what I need. As long as their ain't no vegatables...

Thought of the Day
"I had a very interesting lunch with George Costanza today."
"Really?"
"We were talking about our lives, and we both kind of realized we're kids. We're not men."
"So then you asked yourselves, 'Isn't there something more to life?'"
"Yes, we did."
"Yeah, well let me clue you in on something... There isn't."
"There isn't?"
"Absolutely not. I mean, what are you thinking about, Jerry, marriage? Family? They're prisons! Man-made prisons. You're doing time. You get up in the morning, she's there. You go to sleep at night, she's there. It's like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. 'Is it alright if I use the bathroom now?!' And you can forget about watching TV while you're eating."
"I can?"
"Oh yeah. You know why? Because it's dinnertime, and you know what you do at dinner?"
"What?"
"You talk about your day. 'How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? Well, I don't know, how about you, how was your day?'"
"Boy."
"It's sad, Jerry. It's a sad state of affairs."
"I'm glad we had this talk."
"Oh, you have no idea."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Engagement"

Comments:
It's not gonna happen. No woman is going to get into something with a guy, if she knows there's no possibility of marriage or further developements. Also, I've heard you say (many times) that you want to get married...and have kids. Why the sudden change of plan?

Eh, I'm not looking for marriage now, but if it works out after a couple of years I would do it. But I don't want to go into a relationship thinking long term. That's too much pressure.
