I made a mistake. A huge mistake. And it cost me dearly. Let me explain...

Dating sucks. You go out, meet new people, get past the representative stage and then start all over again. If they say insanity is repeating the same thing expecting different results then lock me up NOW because I am officially out of my ever-loving mind!!

After deciding to put another Chi-town dud on permanent pause I walked over to my coworkers office to steal a chocolate under the guise of asking how her day was going. It's not like I really cared but I'm starting to think she strategically places the bowl of candy behind her so you have to stop and talk before getting the goods. Anyway, she was all chipper that day and by the grace of GAWD she had the bowl in front of her. Something was definitely up. I gave her the side eye and tried to swipe the candy while she was on a call but got the "wait one sec" finger and was doomed to enduring at least 10 minutes of random babble (note to self: I need to buy my own damn candy).

This is where it gets good. You know how there's a turning point in every situation where you hear something, your interest is piqued and you can either follow up on it or dismiss it. Well when she started telling me about this great guy she met I obviously wanted to know where. The sneaky little wench started talking about great conversations (kryptonite to most women), brunch at my favorite restaurants (kryptonite to my stomach), and all this other jazz that had me hype to know where in the world she met him. And then spilled it.. I had to ask her to repeat herself when she said *insert name of dating site here*. I was shocked, appalled, disgusted... and yet strangely intrigued. I mean, it couldn't be that bad right? I could see what people were about up front, learn their interests, yadda yadda yadda. Plus it's not like I've met anyone worth writing home about.. well, maybe one but that's only because he was a psycho. Either way, I decided to put some more thought into it. I mean, what did I have to lose...


Yeah well, I lost $59.95 and by some stroke of the devil I saw three people I've dated on said site. Needless to say I won't be back. What could have been a cute top or a great pair of shoes is now even more wasted url space in the land of fake-believe (aka the Internet).
