The Prodigal Returns...

I'm back, baby!

The other day I was so dejected by the two people who had contacted me (I won't drop names), that I decided to close out my accounts on all the singles sites I belonged to.

They were imposters, pure and simple. One was claiming to have been an American-British lady, but spoke such horrible English it defied credibility. The other claimed to have read my ad, but had no clue about my interests.

I am trying. Dear Lord, I am trying; but such moments really are a drain on the emotions, and that's why I gave up on Singles sites... for now.

About a week later I came to the realization that perhaps I was hasty. I mean, I'm not a loner or anything. My last relationship has lasted me eleven years, and to be perfectly honest, I've become a tad unaccustomed to the whole dating scene. Clubs? Bars? No thanks. If I'm going to meet someone, I'd like to hear what she has to say without asking her to yell over the music and the crowds.

And at heart, even though I have been living in Ottawa since 1998, I'm still a small-town guy.

And so, reluctantly, I had to concede that perhaps the Singles sites were not such a bad idea after all; and so here I am, reactivating my accounts.

Hoping, once again, to find my True Love.
