Aaaaand we're off.... again...

Ladies and gentlemen, ugh!!! I have been overloaded with potential matches. Insert another eyeroll. As I type this I am getting notifications from Tinder. Just when you think that not all of these sites are just "hook-up" sites, your inbox will prove you wrong! I don't recall posting in my dating profile that I enjoy it when random men just send me unsolicited pictures of their penis. Maybe I should start another page where I dedicate it to sharing these pictures. It goes something like this...

Male: hey

Me: Hey there. How are you doing today?

Male: gud wbu

Me: (audible sigh and very very visible eyeroll) I am doing ok thank you for asking. Anything fun planned for the day?

Male: no

At this point, I get quiet. I really get to feeling like, what else can I possibly say? Clearly I wasn't worth a full response, so why are we a match again? And 9/10 times, here's what happens next...

Male: so you wanna hang out

Me: like at your house or a bar or????

Male: wut u mean? u not lookin to hook up

Me: Did you even read my profile???

Male: ya but why u on this site then

Me: (face palm face palm face palm eyeroll eye roll loud sigh super loud sigh) Not for just a hook-up but, thanks for reaching out. Hope you find what you're looking for. Have a good day!

I swear. I can't figure out if they just can't read, or didn't bother to read just saw a picture and decided to give it a shot. I mean READ THE FUCKING PROFILE!!!! It will literally tell you about me, and what it is I am looking for. I don't understand the complexity here. Alright, here we go. I've made about 55 matches on Tinder. 30 matches on Plenty of Fish. Nothing was legit. So, I decided to try another app. I kept seeing it advertised on TikTok, so I thought why not? What could it hurt right? So I sign up for Hily. Complete my profile, check out the perks, or lack of, and start looking for matches. Initially, I am matching with guys from Minnesota, and Tennessee. Let's try to remember that I am from Michigan, and yes I did include my location in my profile. As I am wandering through my matches, I see someone familiar that has matched with me. Fucking Andy!!! Really?!?! Here's the thing, if you match with someone, you CAN un-match them. So, me being my asshole self, I send him a message... "I am going to assume this was a mistake?" his response "Yjp" I assume is supposed to say Yep. Ok wait, let me clarify; you "mistakenly" match with me and realize it's in fact a mistake, but you fail to un-match me until I inbox you? I mean I guess thank you for letting me get a little satisfaction in un-matching you myself so you can't see me anymore, but are you really that fucking lame guy? 49 years old, and behaving like a child. Yes, I am aware that I am 45 and kind of doing the same by blogging about it. I don't care ok.

Needless to say, I have deleted the app. I don't want to risk coming across him again, and if I'm being fair, it was a shit app anyhow. Borderline creepy. At this point, I have deleted all but one dating app which is Tinder. What made me keep that one? I have no clue, but I am sort of glad I did. I have a few good potential matches so far. I am open to going on a date or two and finding out where things may go. Here's to hoping things go somewhere at some point, because I don't think this is going to work for much longer for me.
