Math and eHarmony

Today is the day I "took over" math. That is, from today until sometime in April I am responsible for the math instruction in the classroom. I think it went ok. Guess I'll find out when I look over the homework tomorrow. We continue with division tomorrow; but, thankfully, in English. Tomorrow I also take over the morning routine - attendance, lunch orders, etc. Next week I add reading groups to my responsibilities...

So eHarmony. It's that online dating site, and a friend of mine mentioned she was going to sign up and that she wanted me to sign up with her. Well, out of curiosity I checked it out. There was a long questionnaire that I had to fill out asking about my personality, my likes and dislikes, and the top 10 things I would look for in a partner and the 10 things I would absolutely not want in a partner. It was pretty interesting. So I filled it out. 10 minutes later I had 7 "matches". Some wanted to talk, some wanted me to post a picture, some were local, some weren't... All of it zapped my will to live. I closed and deleted my account.

I wouldn't mind meeting someone special, I just don't want to have to date to do it. HA! Seriously though, and this is no exaggeration, the idea of dating zaps my will to live. You meet someone, they seem nice, you go for coffee, or lunch, or dinner, and they bore the shit out of you. Or they're not as cute once you've spent some time with them. Or they smell funny. Or they're just fine but...eh. Or you wish they were someone else. Doesn't watching reruns of Friends sound so much more fun and worthwhile? I don't think I'll be re-opening the account and joining for the low low price of $whatever a month. Being single is not bad enough to go through all that.
