I vote option d

So at our work Christmas party, I officially became English.  I accidentally made out with my co-worker.  In my defence, it was the first time I had been drunk since the latest boy broke my heart (sorry for the drama, but he didn't do my heart any favours, let's say that).  I tend to have a bit of loose lips, so I'm not really surprised that it happened, but it wasn't the ideal situation.  Since being back in the office for two days (an office of about 20 people mind you), there has been no drama, no mocking.  We're all adults.  Let's face it.  People occasionally have random make outs.  It's not like we boned and had a child.  It's fine.  So that was good.  No harm, no foul!

With the new year, you see several kinds of commercials:  diets, quit smoking, and dating.  I saw a few match.co.uk adverts and remembered that I had signed up a bit ago in an effort to see what was out there.  I didn't end up doing it for real though.  I did mysinglefriend.com with my best friend.  She met the boy she has been dating for 7 months on her first date.  I losers.

Last night, I went back to match to see what was out there...again.  I logged in, and filled out a search.  Basic stuff...height, religion (let's not fool ourselves, this can make a difference), kids, who they live with, etc.  Here's what match came with of the XX,XXX (I don't know how many people exactly match has, but last night there were 81,000+ online at the same time as I was, so I'd imagine a lot more than that) of people that are on the site:


That's right.  That says "No profile corresponds to your search".  Ouch. 

So I could take this in a few ways.  a) I'm waaaay too picky.  2) There are no men out there that I am interested in and I'm doomed to be alone forever.  or d) The man of my dreams is out there, but just not on match.co.uk; therefore, I'm bound to meet him some other way and fall madly in love for a period of 3 months to forever.  

We're in a new year with a fresh start, so I'm going to start the year out positively and go with option d.  Here's hoping!!

  1. Don't give up!!! Do they have Plenty of Fish.UK? Because all of my girls are actually having great luck on that site. Bizarre b/c it's free...

  2. Ouch- that was shitty of them to say! Just means HE isn't on that website.

    Speaking of Plenty of Fish, I heard a commercial for it the other day saying it is the most visited dating site. True, that is because it is free... but STILL that means people are there. Who cares if it is free or not- as long as people are showing up!
